14) “Unification III” – Star Trek: Discovery
A spiritual successor to the “Unification” episodes of Trek’s past—about Spock’s attempts to reunite the fractured peoples of Vulcan and Romulus—sees Michael Burnham, now in a far future where her half-brother’s dreams have been achieved, face a tribunal of both races to see if she and the Federation can be trusted with valuable research data. Interesting ideas, even if the episode largely concludes that the whole thing was pointless by giving Michael exactly what she wants.
