I think this could have been handled way better, if Topas' state of mind had been the B story for a couple of episodes, and then had an episode about the transition. The previous times that Moclan society has been explored, there was humor and fun: Dolly Parton singing "9 to 5" becoming a national anthem, Commander Grayson making fun of their attitude toward women, etc. There is no fun here. Not even a single comedy moment in the entire season so far.
The archeology story isn't even a B story--it's a throw away line.
I get why the writers did what they did, but I think they could have done better.
