that is my only concern as well, in a 10 episode season if already 2 has been on the “frivolous side” there’s not much left for actual scifi-exploration stuff.

In the other tv series you had 24 episodes each season, you can go around on 2 or 3 episodes each season with silly stuff that was welcome to change the tone from the more serious episodes, here I’m worried. I liked the episode thou, so I’m complaining, but I liked it.

yeah, the ending was too hot, and it’s not even August yet :P

Uhura speech it was very meta and was really emotional, it was a speech straight from a ST fan, nice writing and performing there Edit: bloopers were hilarious, and with Frakes directing the blooper of “Kirk” doing the Riker manouver was so funny

Best thing in the ep is the slap on Spocks face by nurse Chapel.

She tooks impulse to execute, very solid slap.

This season the relation between Chapel and Spock has taken a 180, and was so sudden and so bad executed that Im not enjoying this season as much for now
