conulyThe moral of the last two episodes can be summed up as "never air live when you can air on a delay instead". Though I did find those chyrons for the show trial pretty amusing!
(I have questions about this timeline, though. 15 years ago this dude was a relative nobody and he went to prison, and then once he broke out of prison about two years ago he had a meteoric rise and now he's running news networks? Also, is his organization providing quasi-governmental services and if so, what are they? Also also, and quite seriously, who the hell was founding all those colonies that couldn't support themselves? The whole point of a planet is that you can produce enough food! If your planet cannot grow enough food, go settle one that can!)

I'm sure they phrase it differently in a way that makes them seem less ridiculous, but that's it in a nutshell.
As for the writing... it's no better or worse than any other Trek show. *shrugs* Who watches Trek for the quality of the writing anyway?
