I understand if I get a slew of downvotes, but I thought that episode was pretty bad. The pacing was weird and many of the sequences involving the mining planet felt poorly written (what's with the Witcher potion?). I feel like I'm the only person not into the whole Spock/Chapel thing, so seeing that pushed harder was cringe for me.
I thought it was a pretty middling effort. The whole Witcher John wick sequence was quite bad though.
I laughed out loud with that "camera flip" when they opened a hatch to go down a floor. Like usually this signifies a gravity shift, but noo. It was just "let's flip the view upside down. Go up/down. And then flip back". Completely pointless and silly. π
I agree completely. This Episode was not very good. Star Trek is best when smart people come up with brilliant ways to solve a problem. Beating up 20 klingons with super potion is just lazy writing and dumb. Stealing the Enterprise was unnecessary. Just write the Admiral to not be a dumbass and allow the mission.
Don't forget the money hungry selfish plotters suddenly on a suicide mission
I like the Spock/Chapel ship but youβre dead on with everything else.
