Really like the first episode. Pacing was good, and it seems a lot better written so far compared to Discovery. They had a shot of the Enterprise-D in the first minute, loved it.

Spoiler!

Federation seems to have gotten a whole lot darker after the Dominion war to call off aid and millions burn up in stellar fire while only a relative hand full of people died on Mars. Wasn't that their own fault too? It seemed like the Federation built the synths in order to have the manpower for the Romulan rescue fleet. Why condemn the refugees for what is clearly an issue of your own making? How are synths different from Data? Are they inferior or just unstable and what made them go on their rampage? Lots of questions.
