Spoilers under the cut
I have to withdraw a comment from the last review: Raynor's been explicitly demoted to Commander to be Burnham's first officer. And they actually use the term first officer rather than Number One both improvements in my eyes!
It's not emphasised much but there are some new names and face among the bridge bunnies. I noticed one, maybe the relief pilot was Bajoran, implying the crew has plenty of 32nd century born members now.
hmm. Trill symbiote life span very rarely stretches to 800 years. That means Dax who was already several hosts deep is extremely likely dead. Also that Tal has no memories of the time frame.
...Trill has some nasty wildlife. Though the plot is pretty standard test of character thing but servicable enough and takes advantage of Ds9 continuity.
Rayner gets a meet the crew plot, and Saru has an argument with T'Rina. Tbf I found them cuter courting than now as a couple but we are getting more info on the set up on Ni'Var which is interesting.

I really enjoyed Hugh-as-temporary-Trill and the fact that they were fine with just straight-up icing Book and Michael if they hadn't been respectful of the wildlife. I wish we had more time to focus on Book and his empath abilities.
I did very much like Tilly reading Rayner the riot act and him looking like he knew she was right.
Is it just me or does Saru's prosthetics look more obvious around his mouth area? I don't know why I find it so distracting this season, surely it's been the same throughout and I'm just hyperfocusing. :P
I did like Gray's speech at the end and was curious if Adira is going to break things off or if maybe they're feeling like things are OK now.

I did great enjoy Hugh as Jinaal, the actor did a great job of playing him differently.
Rayner is interesting in he's very sure of himself and how he's doing things. He did genuinely get a lot on the crew out of his meetings. It's a both sides have a point thing, I think.
I can't say I've noticed a change in Saru's prosthetics but it's been a while since I've watched previous seasons/
