Don't read the synopsis if you didn't already. I had forgotten what initially happens after the opening, so it was a surprise.
This works a lot better than you would think from the main action trope in play. This episode feels like it actually had a fairly decent budget; despite mostly taking place onboard the ship, there are a good number of space CGI scenes. The voice effect is a bit hokey, but the fight scene between redacted and redacted was much better than the average fight scene on this show; and what's more, it was directed and edited so well that I couldn't even spot the stunt doubles despite knowing there must have been extensive stunt player work.
But it's the main character moments, dialogue, and direction/cinematography that make this one great. The ending is weighed down by some sappiness about love being everlasting, but Rommie's internal conflict is enjoyable to watch, and the way Andromeda (Hologram) teases Tyr about not being entirely bloodthirsty is the closest thing to sexual tension that you could ask for between the two, and Lexa's eyebrow work is amusing and tantalizing in equal measure.
