Another great episode, I loved it.
But that ending. Oh that ending. That was was the best fan service they could have given us. It was so awesome. Not Enterprise D back from the dead awesome but only a few steps below it.
Uhura should have never been let out of sick bay after it was shown she had similar symptoms to the engineer from the space station. Then they LET HER HAVE A PHASER?!?!? WTH!?!
Kirk and Pike made some seriously poor command decisions. Or I should say the writers made some bad decisions for them.
Outside of that, I loved this episode. I also like Kirk mentioning Spock was about to be checkmated by Chapel. Nice touch.
