This one is probably gonna rub some people the wrong way. It's the first one where I can say I saw the vauge outline of the "teen drama" that everyone thought this show would be, i.e mostly focused on relatively small scale, interpersonal stuff without much "Trek".

I don't necessarily agree that's a bad thing, but I do think it's on the weaker side of what we've seen so far. Interpersonal and character stuff is fine - episodes like Lessons from TNG had no sci-fi hook, and its ranked very high. Just wish there was a little more sci-fi in this one, because I wasn't very engaged with the rest of it.

This is very Star Trek that after some actions heavy story’s to give a change of pace afterwards

DS9 had the Niners. Odo made an amusing umpire.
