Throughout its various iterations and decades on television, Star Trek has always enjoyed a good courtroom drama from time to time. “Ad Astra per Aspera” picks up the thread of last season’s cliffhanger by offering us the trial of Una Chin-Riley (Rebecca Romijn). Due mostly to his stubbornness, Captain Pike (Anson Mount) is able to enlist the help of one of the universe’s best attorneys (), although her personal backstory to Number One does create some conflict. Although other characters get small moments here, such as Lieutenant La’an Noonien-Singh‘s (Christina Chong) struggle to discover how Una’s secret was discovered, this is really an episode for Rebecca Romijn who doesn’t disappoint.
