  I don’t like the implications that there is a device that can absorb phaser fire.

  I also find it weird that the “intruders” who I assume know English, are not able to pick up on Federation Standard, I assume it is still not that different from English, considering Starfleet did start in North America. You think when you see on the hall of a ship, “U.S.S. Enterprise” or when you enter and take a look around and see the service panels that, they might think for a second that this ship might have hailed from Earth.

  Also a bit weird how they haven’t encountered Federation ships with humans with their couple of hundred year space travels. But I assume maybe they went through the same wormhole as V’ger or something. And who knows what kind of trauma they have to live through.

  Despite these logical inconsistencies, I think I still enjoyed this mess of an episode.

  The spectacle was over the top. I like seeing the TOS crew interacting with each other. And I enjoyed the Enterprise crew coming up with a solution to save themselves, though their escape and timing with the Farragut’s attack did seem awfully convenient. Would have felt a little less contrived if they had coordinated with each other a bit sooner to match up the plans, but we don’t always have so much screen time to explain things and the plot sometimes needs to get moving, so I can forgive it.

  Anyway, I currently like this episode.

  I literally thought this might be a prequel to that. I was disappointed.

  Yeah, it is a bit weird to introduce zombies but then to only use it as window dressing instead of dealing with the scientific ramifications of creating the walking dead that are invisible to tricorders. They’re a distraction to M’Benga’s more personal story of him needing to confront the consequences of his actions.

  Not to like completely say the episode was bad, it’s just with a bit more thought it could have been better and more impactful to the meta narrative.

  Eugenics and genetic engineering is bad, but exotic material to hybrid a human with an alien species might be ok? Seems odd after they gave shit to Stamets for getting tardigrade DNA. I guess Starfleet does play pretty loose with what is and is not consider legal for genetic modification, so I shouldn’t be too worried about that, but I am…
