Overall an okay episode and a good end to season 2.
I especially like that more of the main characters are involved. This has been my most significant caveat with this series in general, so any improvement is welcome.
I did not like the space battle very much. Yeah, it's visually pleasing but unrealistically long. If shields are so durable as seen here than any space battle would be almost pointless. It killed a lot of the suspense for me.
I am surprised that there will be a season 3. I thought this episode wrapped the show up okay. I wonder if it would not be better to make a new series that don't have the baggage of discovery. This is not an attack on the cast that I thought have done an excellent job. But the writing team / design team initially did not get Star Trek (at least in my view) and have since been able to change the course some, but still this show that does not feel like star trek (most of the time). It will be interesting to see what happens both with STD and the new Picard series.
