![]() ![]() For instance, Michael and Booker are obviously competing against each other this episode. In some ways, this episode has a strong sense of progression and purpose, but in other ways leaves me wanting. ![]() Yet underneath that, Haz seems be emotionally invested in their relationship, which makes him endearing. He’s out for himself, and both Michael and Booker have to please him in order to win their game. He has a laid back yet vaguely threatening vibe, speaks rather nonsensically (in a fun way), and acts as an interesting intermediary between our feuding couple. I get the sense that he’s a recurring character, because he is very familiar with Booker and Burnham. Unfortunately, we don’t meet many interesting characters, although to be fair, the story has other priorities. ![]() The change in atmosphere really appeals to me. With the exception of the prisoners they rescued a couple of episodes back, I don’t think we’ve seen StarFleet members go down to a planet and interact with the populace much this season.

Michael’s task is to win enough latinum to buy it, while Booker’s is to catch enough card counters and cheats.

However, things aren’t hopeless, since in order to build the weapon they hope to use against Species 10-C they will need isolynium, a rare element sold only on the black market. The episode starts with the Federation in a panic after it is discovered that Booker and Tarka have taken off with the newly invented Spore Drive Prototype. ![]()
