I came later to the party, but I just watch this today.

Good concept but lacks of Gene Roddenberry's optimism.

Yes, the ending of the episode is optimistic, but I would’ve liked the Federation to feel confident and secure from the very beginning, and then, as the episode progressed, start having doubts. I understand that they want to add more nuance to the starfleet, but you know what? That’s already what Halo and Mass Effect do. (although the third Mass Effect 3 is ironically a bit more optimistic). I want them to genuinely be able to present a positive vision of the future.
