I mostly really enjoyed this episode. I think it does "action trek" in pretty much the best way possible - and that's definitely a good thing. On top of the strong action sequences, there were some interesting moments between characters and some really cool sequences with the crew trying to think their way out of different situations. This is the sort of thing Trek has often done well and it's nice to see it working with SNW just as well as it has in past shows.
That said, as much as I enjoyed this episode - and I did enjoy it: 8/10 after all - I am a little bit worried about the future. It really seems like they're trying to position the Gorn as the Borg-like adversary of SNW - and I just don't think the Gorn are interesting enough to fill that role. They're little more than Xenomorphs at this point and I haven't seen any effort to make them anything more than that, so building them up as some kind of primary antagonist as this show appears to be doing just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I really hope they introduce a different sort of enemy that is actually interesting at some point because the Gorn, while fun for an episode here or there, just isn't interesting enough to be much more than that.
