A little bit of a mis-step, attempting to do comedy but failing to be all that funny outside of a few things (hijinks!). There was nothing wrong with the premise of the episode though, and indeed it probably could have worked great if it hadn't all been so lifeless. It's saved by wonderful performances from Ethan Peck and Gia Sandhu and a truly exceptional opening sequence that gives us a taste of the classic TOS episode 'Amok Time' (along with the wonderful music) and that gorgeous finale on the hull. I also appreciated the character work done with Chapel here.
