Okay, this feels different from any Star Trek thing before but not in a bad way. It's interesting that the lead character is not a captain or even anyone who is respected at all at this point. It creates a strong sense of uneasiness since we the audience are seeing things through the eyes of someone who is so unwelcome at Starfleet. The tone is somewhat dark but this episode did introduce more levity compared to the last two episodes, which was appreciated. The humor helps make it still feel like Star Trek. The sense of discovery is also still there as well--not just for the universe but for discovering more about Starfleet itself. And this episode didn't lean as much into action as the last two, which was a welcome change since we got more meaningful character moments.
