I stopped after episode 3 as I didn't like the serial format and wanted to just binge it. Now I'm caught up. Overall, I enjoyed it and would give it a 7 out of 10. It won't go down as great sci-fi, or even above average Trek in my opinion, but it wasn't Voyager trash.
I might be a little harsh as I've never been a big fan of robots are real people too sci-fi. I understand that Trek is famous for thinly veiled analogies and they are trying to beat a racism drum to death, but there are just too many plot holes and they always keep changing the rules in an attempt to try and make the artificial life unique, and not something that can be easily copied or mass produces, as it would inherently be.
A few questions, other than what happened to the Romulan Jamie Lannister:
1) So Data, the most famous android of all time has been living in a simulation for the last 20 years. Why did they never bother to build him a body or talk to him?
2) The girl android that "died" from some jewellery in the eye, why didn't they just fix her? I mean Data got decapitated regularly in TNG and in this show they established that an android can be rebuilt from a single positron.
3) Why did the twin androids get sent to earth and a borg cube with altered memories? What was the girl's mother doing when she put her to sleep every night?
