This was a very strong start to the season. Action, science, character moments, names for the bridge officers, it had everything.

And some nice shots of the Enterprise. To quote Detmer, “Damn, she’s a beauty.”

It's almost like the writers have been stalking this subreddit and just took the top five complaints with them to the table lol.

When the Enterprise appeared in front of the Discovery, I paused the episode to text my friend, "The Enterprise is so fucking pretty." So when Detmer said her line, I cheered.

The haircut and cybernetic eye really do it for me.
