I liked this episode. Reminds me of TNG’s Disaster, obviously because they both meant to be disaster movies.
I liked that we had a lot of plots requiring everyone to work together to solve the problem of the week. Felt better then the last few episodes.
I’m also starting to feel like Roddenberry’s decree that there shouldn’t be any interpersonal conflict really does sell the competence porn aspect of Star Trek that I love. So because of Chapel’s and M’Benga’s fighting, it did take me out a bit. Also…I do find it slightly hard to believe that they don’t have dermal generators to heal a crushed pelvis. This conceptually, seems survivable to me. But then again, I guess there was a time Worf was going to be paralyzed but then Klingon anatomy saved the day, so I guess medical tech can fail if the plot needs it to.

I was wondering if this was meant to be the “origin story” of the dermal regenerator.
