Since I first started watching Star Trek in 1971, one of the reasons cited for its attraction was that it presented in a turbulent time a vision of a future of hope, full of bright colors and wonder, and of humor. "I will not kill, today." "Infinite diversity in infinite combinations." "But we did fly." "The release of emotion is what keeps us healthy." "In every revolution there's one man with a vision." "Live long and prosper." "Second ... close that door."

Today's episode's cold open captures that, for the characters and for the viewers, and by all the stars and truths do we need that right now.
