There was so much slack in this script. Of course I've seen reviews on previous episodes this season accusing Hulu of ballooning the runtimes just because they can (no need to stay within a strict airtime budget), but in my opinion the previous episodes were pretty mild on that front. The first was the worst, and it just reminded me of Star Trek: The Motion Picture with all the sweeping ship shots.
But this week, I would agree they spent entirely too much time on background elements of the story. It should have been a great story—another continuity callback to the series' past. Instead it was just okay, full of shots and even whole scenes that neither advanced the plot nor provided a window into any of the characters' minds.
