Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S1 Ep03 Ghosts of Illyria Review - Heaven Sent
8Ghosts of Illyria is one of those rare episodes with a lot of problems which are mostly fairly obvious. AND YET manages to achieve such great heights with its core message and emotional moral story that I've done something I haven't done since 2015... I gave it a free pass. So let's take a look!
