I thought it was an OK episode, but nothing more than that: hit and miss.

I didn't mind Carol Kane's character, but kept on thinking that she's finally left Taxi's Latka. ;-) Still, an intriguing character.

The fight scene was absurd, and I didn't appreciate it. OK, the superjuice that they injected themselves with to give super strength and speed helped, but they'd still need some fighting history. M'Benga has that to some degree, but not sure about Chapel. Even with that proviso, it still came off as a bit OTT.

Liked that they focussed on Spock taking command and let Pike go on holiday. At least SNW is giving their major characters their time to shine.

I agree with someone I read elsewhere who said that it felt more like a mid-season filler episode than a season premiere. That said, it was a reasonable episode and I look forward to the next one.

I think the best thing I can say is it was competent and nothing really had me rolling my eyes like I would if I was watching Picard or Discovery.
