The Needs of the One

Pivoting off of Ursula K LeGuin, Strange New Worlds masterfully subverts the time honored Vulcan adage "The Needs of the Many" by placing a thoughtful, intelligent, sensitive child in the role of the few or the one. 

The BTP crew wastes no time digging into the ethics and morals of this dilemma, and ends up much like Captain Pike does - having to deal with a reality we can't fix.
