Ive been a Trek fan since I was a kid and understand the objections from the true trekkers. But gotta say that even with the sloppy science, Burnham burnout, and canon inconsistencies I can't not love this show for the pure entertainment value.
Alien fun is higher in this episode. And Tilley is used to great effect. I'm also enjoying they way the crew is used as an ensemble this season. The way the characters "interpret" starfleet regulations is reminiscent of classic trek. And Pike continues to grow on me.
My one complaint is the Klingons are just SO predictable and boring I can't wait for the scenes to be over. Annoying beyond excuse. The fact that Next Generation did Klingons so well makes it that much more of a fail. Just the most tired old familiar shallow Klingon sub plots with no emotion and lispy, marbles-in-their-mouths slow talk. Taking a couple stars back for that.
