Meliana

My first thoughts on this episode were it was slow to start, and I was a little unclear who the characters were or what they were doing, for a while.

I'm not sure about the new look of the Klingons. The reason I knew they were Klingons was because of the fact they were speaking Klingon. It took me most of the episode to get used to them.

The Federation ship was full of lights but was actually dark and shadowy, quite a different feel to the whole programme due to this.

It was nice to get some background on our main characters, and I had a good sense who they were by the end of the episode.

It was an unexpected twist for the first officer to commit mutiny, not something you normally see on Star Trek.

The special effects were very pretty, even if the whole effect was dark and claustrophobic.

As much as it took a little while to really get going, it was well in it's stride by the end, and I was eager to see the next episode.
