Considering what we've been given up until this point (halfway through the season), I enjoyed it. They went somewhere, did some exploring, encountered a bizarre mystery, lost someone (a "red shirt", so-to-speak) and left us with an ominous tease to a potential follow-up episode. I'll give it 4/5 stars.
My only gripe with this episode is the guy going around with the floating camera. It distracts/detracts from the feel of show...

There ya go! The Tik Tok influencer on SNW!
Oh, the other annoying thing was the lifting of part of "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' as the resolution to the trap they were in...
My thoughts exactly. I felt it was the "we're back to serious Star Trek" episode with minimal cuteness, but in addition to the Last Crusade vibes, the exploded eyeballs makeup made me think of "Dr. Strange" and the zealot followers of Dormammu…
Wow, I had completely forgotten that! Yep, they lifted that too...
Lol, I just discovered where Roddenberry likely stole the idea from for the Enterprise! 1936 serial called: "The Undersea Kingdom". This is their "Flying Torpedo":

With the way this season is going I'm thinking they should change the name of this series to "Star Trek: Strange New Episodes".

Really enjoyed the Kirk episode, specially the twist at the end.
Problem is, this season is just not going...at all!!With the way this season is going I'm thinking they should change the name of this series to "Star Trek: Strange New Episodes".
Another off-kilter episode. I think the story was good but not execution. Ortega's brother's documentary with inseam political ideas, not so much. So far, worse season, by far!

I was perplexed by all of the camera angles that didn't come from the camera drone.
The Kirk episode was enjoyable, although they don't seem to understand the Kirk character very well in SNW. What, do the writers, producers and the actor never go watch ANY TOS episodes? 4/5.
The latest episode was another ripoff-fest. M*A*S*H did this type of journalism thing first way back in the day and did it much better. I will say that I liked the full-frame 4K video over the letterbox though. And c'mon, a genetically modified space-capable bug?? 2/5 (and only because of the full-frame 4K).

I thought it reminded me of the 1997 movie Starship Troopers with Casper Van Dien- with all the commercial ads they ran for their earth government, except it was Starfleet. Like it was a recruitment advertisement for Star fleet.
