Funny how our nightly viewing pairs up sometimes.
In Justice, we open with Archer in a Klingon courtroom, where he is on trial for being a threat to the Klingon Empire. We are told the story in flashbacks, both his, and a Captain Duras's. The Enterprise had rendered aid to a ship full of starving subjects of the Empire. Archer's Advocate, brilliantly played by JG Hertzler, manages to get Archer's death sentence commuted- then gets thrown into Rura Penthe with him. When the Enterprise makes it's predictable rescue, he elects to stay behind to try and remind Klingons of their former honor.
Court Martial starts with the Enterprise at Starbase 11, in for repairs after an ion storm. Kirk has the unhappy task of writing a report on the death of his old friend, Ben Finney. Things take a bad turn when the computer record shows a different story than the one in Kirk's report- and that Kirk had caused Finney' death. As the court martial progresses, Spock discovers a computer anomaly that allows him to prove Kirk's innocence. Wacky tech note- a "microphone" that produces white noise that cancels out people's heartbeats, even when it's no longer in front of them? Riiiight.
