I really liked the way they incorporated elements from the original series episode Balance of Terror and the Mutara Nebula scene from Star Trek II.
The Enterprise really got beat to shit, too. I wonder if next week starts off with them getting repairs in a space dock.
Seems like they're setting the Gorn up to be the heavy in this season - and perhaps the nastiest baddies ever (at least the Klingons and Borg didn't actually eat prisoners). Looking forward to seeing how they're actually portrayed when they actually show them. Could be something they're saving for the season finale.
