Wonder Woman - S1E9 - "Judgment from Outer Space Part I"

Recently, I started watching the Wonder Woman series for the first time.  Earlier this week, I watched the two-part episode "Judgment from Outer Space" (episodes nine and ten of the first season).

In the first scene, a council in "an uncharted solar system in the vast regions of outer space" discusses Earth.  After learning that the people of Earth are "just beginning to develop" atomic weapons and that they have wars, Sakri - a member of the council - says, "I vote we sterilize this Earth now," reasoning that once they develop space flight, "they become a threat to every civilized planet."  Gorel - an-other member of the council - is "inclined to agree with Sakri."  Andros, who has been been observing Earth and informing the council about it, asserts that according to the council's laws, "Before any action on a primitive planet, there must be a judgment."  Andros is sent back to Earth to observe and to "convince the council that they deserve a chance to survive, to grow."

Throughout this conversation, all of the camera angles are looking upward, through a clear table:

The perspectives are such that as the council is discussing what will happen to Earth, the audience has to look up at its members.  The camera angles clearly illustrate that the council is in control and has the power, and that we - the Earth-born audience - are subject to it and its decision.
