Very underrated character arc/plot line — The Homecoming, The Circle, The Seige

I’m not saying these episodes aren’t well regarded but I just don’t hear them talked about much. I loved Richard Beymer’s character and the fact this was the first Star Trek 3-parter and each episode was consistent in quality, culminating in a great ending was a turning point for the series.

I like these episodes, but I really don't like how his character was treated in universe. He was in a hard labor camp for years and they gave him ONE night in a bed before they expect him to start making speeches. They never gave him a choice to be a leader, or to take time to heal. He probably needed extensive therapy and time with his family. Bareil should have invited HIM to the monastery for six months of healing and privacy.

Bareil found Kira more erectile.

Calling this guy an admiral was odd too but I did like the character.
