Meh, I think this episode was better, but the bar is so low.
Positives:
- no strange vadic character
- Ro was good
- Uss Intrepid and space scenes still cool
Negatives:
- Raffi should be dead
- Also nerfing Vulcans now? No way the vulcan couldn't just have used his vulcan strength to #### them up in hand to hand combat, right?
- Overused Starfleet's highest echelons are compromised plot. Again. Biggest trope but Starfleet's got the worst leadership history of any organization, ever! Impossibly easy to infiltrate and often corrupt as #### even without infiltration.
- The founders could already pass the blood test. This was a major plot point around the whole Julian and Martok infiltrations. Why was this forgotten?
- the subtitles give away a lot
Also, although I'm generally fine with cheesy worf, I was groaning hard at the whole fake death, today is a good day today bit. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
