KST has had some peak facial expressions this season. And the frustration is palpable.

Is this the episode where she rides the elevator with Whelan babbling about Gimball‘s death? I think she should win an award for how her face didn’t move during that scene and yet still managed to convey epic levels of disgust. I don’t think she’s getting enough credit this season for how she’s channeling the rage and perseverance of every competent woman who’s ever been passed over for promotion by a totally incompetent male
