I don't know who directed this episode, but the choice to put the camera on their faces so close, especially to Bortus, and let the actors go to work, was brilliant. They gave it everything in this scene, and after a few seasons of struggling with the choice made in season one, it all just bursts out of him in such a relatable way. Perfect.

While I agree that it is good for parents to allow their children to decide *some* things for themselves, there is certainly a time and place for such things. Children very often don't know enough to make good decisions for themselves, and at a young age shouldn't be expected to. No five year old should be making life altering decisions for themselves. Fifteen isn't even truly adequate for such decisions without guidance from someone actually interested in their long-term success in life and not pushing detrimental choices due to ideology. Of course this episode was referring to people pushing sex change operations upon children, which frankly is barbaric and criminal. No one should be opting for elective life altering surgeries until well into adulthood. Certainly no child or even teenager should be. In the case of this episode of course, we're dealing with someone who was unnaturally altered in infancy simply wanting to restore what was taken. We're *not* talking about an elective permanent bodily alteration *to* something unnatural, as we're dealing with in real life today. That distinction is critical in arguing the morality of a minor making such a decision. Topa in the story is electing to be what she was naturally born, not choosing to try to become something unnatural other than what she actually is. Children choosing for themselves can be beneficial for positive development, but only when it's something suitable for the time and place. No responsible parent would allow their child to eat nothing but candy and cake for their meals, no matter how much the kid might want to. We recognize that it's ridiculous and very unhealthy, where the child wouldn't. That dichotomy is present in a plethora of other potential choices made either by or for children.

While we'll never see such a crossover (due to licensing issues, etc), having Michael Dorn cameo on the show, maybe as a Moclan sympathetic to Bortus, Klyden and Topa (as opposed to one who is... well, opposed... to them), would be awesome to see! We've had many other Star Trek actors on the show, and even had Jonathan Frakes direct a couple of episodes (and apparently wants an on-screen role too)... so there's no reason why it couldn't happen if we ever get a season 4.

I don't watch this show, but I damn sure recognize good acting! Especially through makeup prosthetics.

This episode is near and dear to me. Years ago I was in a toxic and an emotional abusive relationship. Anyway you slice it Klyden was an abuser. When Brotus breaks down it struck home. I've been to that level of helplessness. The performance was so well done it brought me to tears.

The sheer shackling of his emotion is just heart wrenching. Dude played the role with astonishing skill

In the first few seasons I wasn’t all that big a fan of Bortus and the Moclans. They just seemed like a less ingesting krogan and Klingon. After this season I still don’t like the Moclans but bortus has finally grown on me. I see less of a emotionless rock, and a father that despite his flaws All he wants is the best for his child, despite what his culture says is best.

I've been seeing this show clips on KZread for a while now, i love bortus and this is the first time I'm seeing him cry. 😢❤

Peter Macon just giving us that... "I am fully stotic and in contorl" with it just... starting to boil over? So good. He went big, by going small.

This show is so amazing... From funny to heart breaking in a second.... This is soooooo good...

Bortus gave Topa the password. Topa was directed to a file by Kelly that would reveal the gender change he was put through. Bortus found out that he'd seen the file and supplied the password. They both wanted Topa to know, against the wishes of Klyden and Moclan culture.

I started this show for the funny space hyuks and now I'm crying.

You know, Bortus really reminds me of G'Kar from Babylon 5. A character that at first was kind of written as comic relief, and goofy, and fairly 2 dimensional. But over the course of the show, with good writing, and fantastic work from the actor, becomes an emotional powerhouse for the show.

I believe part of why it hit Klyden so hard, is that Topa was like himself, born female but changed to male as an infant. But Topa found the courage to face her truth and the scorn from her society, and make herself who she really is. Klyden never could.

Look everybody blames Klyden but Klyden grew up knowing the truth and all his neighbors, family and probably strangers knew. Everyone knowing the she wasn't a real boy might have made him grow up being teased, mocked or bullied. So Klyden probably views the secret as something she would have wish she grew up with.

Command staff quarters should include an anteroom office immediately inside the front door so if someone comes to their quarters in business, it can be handled in their small anteroom office rather than their actual quarters.

Bortus is the equivalent of humans and our reaction to modern day, but with the perspective (atleast now) of someone whos affected by it

Topa, not Klyden. Klyden is Bortus' husband. Topa is their child.
