Colors and uniforms are vibrant. Stage design is already brilliant although some elements look like a 60s IKEA catalogue (except the picnic scene: that one looks stupid). Characters are not yet worked out very well (which doesn't really matter since the cast changes anyway after the pilot) We learn nothing about the peculiarities of Spock and next to nothing about crew dynamics. Best Special effects: lasers and the vibrating vene in the alien's head. Low point: the ape/werewolf costume . The whole episode design is a bit too much of a western/sandal movie though.
The main plot is intriguing, though. Being trapped in a prison, in a zoo, in a science experiment by a mind manipulating superior alien species sets the tone of the whole franchise: it's dangerous out there in space and you will encounter the unexpected. But there's hope: mankind possesses some qualities that come in unexpectedly handy in dangerous situations.
Good to see that #1 is a woman. I didn't recall that. I always thought it's Beverly and Dianna who were the first characters depicted as second in line of command.
