Third episode was pretty good, weaker than the other two but still quite enjoyable.
I'm liking our surly engineer Hammer. The Unas / L'ann switcheroo was neat. I think we all went into the series thinking L'ann was going to be augmented, only to find out she hates augments and its Unas whose augmented. A neat touch.
That said, it does open up a pretty big plot concern. When Bashir on DS9 was revealed as an augment, we got a backstory of parents who had actively hid his condition all his life, plus Bashir's career in medical gave him the knowledge and access to hide his condition (aka if anyone was going to be able to keep their genetic condition a secret, it would be someone in medical). So it made a lot of sense. The idea that a commander of the federation flagship could hide their condition, ESPECIALLY from the chief medical officer (as there would of course be routine scans and physicals)....the kindest phrase is "strains belief", but I could easily go into "now that is some b*** ****". Its the first real crack in the so far shining armor of the show to me.
It would have gone over a lot smoother if the Dr knew about the commander, AND the commander knew about the Dr's daughter. That would have been an interesting little conspiracy the two had between them, maybe the Commander even helped get the dr on the ship so he can perform all her tests, etc. Right now it all feels just a little too clean, "oh you have been hiding your condition from us for years, eh its fine. Oh Dr you were conducting some unauthorized medical procedures, eh its fine (at least with this one there is the notion that the commander would keep the dr's secret, presuming it help him to keep hers)". L'anns "you now represent everything I hate....but here have some strawberries". I actually wish they had just saved that L'ann / Unas scene for later, got it more time and oomph. This is theoretically a MAJOR thing between these characters, my hope is that it will come back in future episodes, as these two still have a lot of issues to work through.
It at least helped to explain the "overly dramatic walk" the commander had carrying Hammer. When I first saw that I was like, "what is going on this is so weird?" but after the reveal its, "oh you all are saying she's got enhanced strength, got it".
At the end of the day, Bashir's reveal was just plain better. It was a cool buildup, explained some of Bashir's previous behavior, and the scene at the end when him and Miles are talking, and Miles is still willing to play darts with him (a genuine sign of acceptance), but also has him take a few steps back (showing a respect for the skills), to me was the perfect way to show inclusion instead of talking about it.
