Pretty good time travel episode without to much complexity. And it was the first Episode that I really liked L'aaan in. Pretty good acting of both actors/actress, competently shot, felt good overall.
What I didn't like:
Overall a nice one, but now for some strange new worlds, shall we?
What I didn't like:
- 'funny' scene with Spock at the beginning - you can do something like that, but it didn't land for me and I don' t like the trend of turning him into a joke
- the romulan agent didn't work at all for me, didn't behave like a romulan at all
- why did the romulan help the pair? There were no signs she was tracking them after they came back from Pelia, so she would have found the reactor anyways...
- they should not have shown Khan. But subtlety is not a strength of today's Trek
- L'aan wandering around the apartment at night while Kirk was also awake... that felt like taken out of a bad rom com. Also the crying at the end almost destroyed the strong character work of this episode. A dreamy, sad look out of the window would have been enough. Again, subtlety....
- it felt to drawn out, a bit to long
Overall a nice one, but now for some strange new worlds, shall we?
