Paradise Lost (2)

Continuing the painting of the series in another shade of grey we watch as Admiral Leyton tries to overthrow the Federation government. Expanding on what I said in the previous episode, there has to be a reason why Gene’s Utopian Starfleet has turned into a more militaristic force… and I think that constant conflicts (oft-mentioned, but rarely seen) since the 2350’s (twenty years now) would certainly play into some officers realisation that things aren’t all roses and fairytales outside of the Sol System.
