It actually gave some fun feeling of submarine combat, even including the various sound effects. It was cool, intense, but at the center was L'anns story, and that I think is what is setting this trek apart from some of the recent incarnations. Yes their booms and action and excitement, but the series never forgets that characters drive your show, and keeps the story coming back to them.I will...just ignore the whole dr is giving an Illyrian (aka a completely alien species) a straight up blood transfusion, when he doesn't have any of his fancy blood synthesizers...hehe this may be the sore point of the show for me, but I'm enjoying it enough to just let that one go.I also had one more thought about episode 3. So one factoid is that the bio filters in transports filter out EVERYTHING they do not recognize. This means that in order for transporters to lock on and transport aliens that the federation is not familiar with, the transporter technicians are having to turn off some safety's on the biofilters, aka the biofilters only remove known hostile agents, but can't remove unknown signatures (because if they did it would be VERY bad for Mr New Species). So effectively this introduces a lot of risk of alien pathogens in such a circumstance, so I can imagine Captains being very hesitant to do that under most circumstances.</blockquote>
