“Memento Mori” has the feel of a submarine battle deep under the ocean which also works as a callback to the memorable space battle in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. We begin on Starfleet Remembrance Day with the Enterprise arriving to offer support to a settlement that has been attacked, unaware the survivors are only bait left by the Gorn. Offering a tense and action-packed episode, “Memento Mori” follows the trend of using the story to explore the past of a specific member of the crew. This time its Lieutenant La’an Noonien-Singh (Christina Chong), one of the few victims of the Gorn ever to make it out alive.

The penultimate episode of Legacies caps the gods storyline in an episode that features the death of several main characters who return at the end thanks to the help of Landon (Aria Shahghasemi), who is left with his own price to pay. As for the big fight between Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) and Ken (Luke Mitchell), which the show has struggled to properly lead up to points in the season, we get another swerve with Hope first having to battle Aurora de Martel (Rebecca Breeds) albeit in a far different manner than how her father would have dealt with her. In other spots, Cleo (Omono Okojie) embraces her role as a Fury to help with Ken’s final takedown.
