lightofdayelatest SNW episode review spoilers under the cut
-
I thought this was a bit stronger that the last few. Still weighed down by the ongoing stuff. Yay more Spock emotional drama. eyeroll They were at least exploring and Pelia hasn't been entirely replaced by scotty.
I wondered at the start that were they were ingratiating us with Gamble to make it hurt more when they killed him off and they were. *sigh* I'd have been nice to see the rest of the Landing Party's reaction as well as M'Benga's. La'an especially since y'know she's supposed to be responsible for everyone's safety.
The dangers of prequels is inconsistency, that they seem to be sure that they could regenerate Gamble's eyes and have fixed Ortegas' digested hand but limb regeneration didn't seem to be a thing in TNG era from Nog's leg. It's not a big deal but I noticed.
The other thing that bothered was the big blow up between Spock and the others about checking in. It later became important kind of but at the stage there seemed to be no reason walking outside for five minutes would have been an issue, he wasn't suggesting cancelling the mission or anything like that but they acted like he was crushing all their dreams.
Another nitpick: They could have shown Gamble zapped with a phaser stun and resisting it at some stage. Everyone always forgets they have stun guns in hostage situations/where people they don't want to kill are acting out.
