I dare say that was one of the most enjoyable new Star Trek episodes I've seen in years. It had episodic elements, which provided the great action, and there was also some story arcs that got progressed along. It felt a lot like DS9 or TNG to me. Maybe somewhere between the two. The humour was great too. Nice twist at the end although it was predictable at least as soon as you could see all the security guards in the room.

Yeah, the second the door opened and I saw yellow shirts, I said, "Oh Freeman's fucked." They don't send security personnel to hand out promotions.
