6/10
Not my cup of tea.

I didn't particularly enjoy this episode as well as the previous 2 but that's because I didn't follow it too well. The story had me lost in the some places.

However others have enjoyed it. Which gives me confidence that we have a good show right here.

And for what it's worth I sit through these episodes and feel as satisfied as I would with a typical DS9 or TNG. It's by far not up to their best standards but it's definitely Star Trek.

The disease was a bit weird. And the whole story was a bit weird. I liked the realisation Spock made of the lost colony, a cool bit of lore.

The Doctors secret is uncharacteristically not Star Fleet (or star trek). Why wouldn't the chief just run by his plan to save his daughter? Seems weird to keep that a secret. I really love the story behind it and the characters motivation for it. But yeah a bit weird.

Like, pioneer the technology, standardise it? Maybe even have that be the story? Not this weird disease that lodely revels this somewhat paramount fact in such a trivial way at the end.

Overall it wasn't bad and it was light years better than the other shows (The Adventures of Space Jesus and Star Trek: Pension Plan).

I really like the engineer. I like the doctor. Number one is a strong character. Pike and Spock are also great.
