3.6 - Good episode, which tells a new story and isn't relying on reminding us of Star Trek. And I say that even though it's an episode where Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Uhura and Chapel team-up.
Paul Wesley is a good actor and was good here playing someone who is close to becoming a Star Trek Captain. I liked Pike mentoring him. I sitll can't see him as a younger version of Kirk from TOS though!

You know, I can. I was watching him closely this time, and he's picking up some of Kirk's mannerisms... plus some of his lines are delivered pretty close to how Shatner would have done it. He's not imitating Shat, but he's pretty close to the TOS character.
I'll admit: at the first, I thought this was going to be another TOS rip off, and it would be the planet killer and we'd have to explain why Spock and Scotty don't say shit about it in "The Doomsday Machine." They swerved me; very quickly it turned into something different and something very interesting. The twist at the end was sad, and I appreciate Kirk's introspection about what he had to do.

Watched the last two episodes, cause I've been busy this week...
3.5: An interesting episode, but it's one that I would have expected coming out of Discovery. Matter of fact, if I looked I could probably find an episode that felt eerily similar to this one, which is probably why it made me think of it. Personally, despite their attempts on making them the "SNW Baddie", I'm getting tired of the Gorn-centric episodes. Several foreshadowing spots towards the end (computer glitch) that I'm interested in seeing the payoff.
3.6: Very good character building, primarily with Kirk. We knew he was a hotheaded, fly by the seat of his pants kind of person coming out of the academy, but he never made decisions that were too far-fetched or risky. Now we know that it may have been this experience with the ship-killer, and subsequent mentoring from Pike, that started to ground him into a starship commander. Love where this is going, and loved the interactions between the Kirk-Era characters working together.

I thought it was so good! I was really happy when I realized that Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Uhura, and Chapel were all on deck together.
I was afraid for a minute that the scavengers were going to turn out to be the beginning of the Borg, or something. I'm glad they were something entirely different.

I had the thought about the borg as well. I'm happy they did not do that.

I thought it was going to be another V'ger. Glad I was wrong.

203 in this iteration, but in 3.6 crew was gathered in central locations due to power loss, and a lot of them were in sick bay.
