I thought it was just okay overall. It wasn't 'bad' but I'd hoped for a little more from an 'Ortegas-Centric' episode because she's an interesting character and I think a good actress, but I felt she could carry more weight for her own episode.

As it was, it felt too much like a 'Paint by Numbers' Star Trek episode, like an old TNG Beverly Crusher episode. Just kind of 'there.'

Now, that was all well and good back in the old '26 Episode Season' days, but if you're only giving us 10 and enormous gaps in between seasons at the same time, you pretty well have to smash them all out of the park.
