    The avalanche has already begun. It is too late for the pebbles to vote.

    I think, especially for its time, this is one of those really good ethical quandary episodes where science fiction lets you explore what right and wrong really mean in a galaxy full of different species and belief systems.

    I relate to Franklin very hard here but am not sure if I would have been able to make the same call.

    This episode really shows what these science fiction can do with putting spotlight on non-easy moral dilemmas, especially when it comes to doctors and their ethics. They were also often good premise for great Star Trek episodes.

    But in addition to the core dilemma, the episode also shows the whole diplomatic mess on the station as they can't get any of the other races to help them, because they of course have their political agenda and loyalties that supersedes wherever their moral compass lies.

    This isn't just a constructed trolley problem scenario, it is a thing that doctors have to deal with - for example with Jehovah Witnesses refusing blood transfusions.

    All around great episode that shows the crew as not always in complete alignment, but they can respect each other. And we get to see Ivanova in some great space flight action.
