This was a great episode, but I feel like the one detail missing is the explanation of why they have their hands on the light thingy. Only having watch TOS is that clear really, but other great episode.

Loved the uniform work as well.

I really wished Pike would cook more. I also need some further understanding of what the carrot cutting was being used for. Lol

I might need to give this episode another shot in a few years. It wasn't bad per se, but I just couldn't get into it.

It is a bit tiring watching my space escapism but it's actually just highly contemporary societal issues, I know I shouldn't expect it not to be, because this series has been highly contemporary from the very first episode, but it's frustrating.

Almost everything about the show, from casting, effects, costumes, practical effects, vibe, directing, camerawork is all excellent.

The writing however is a straight 4/10. Not for the contemporary issues, though they contribute, but half the conversations in this series simply don't make sense. Has anyone else noticed this?
