Hey! They finally did it! They finally made an episode that wasn’t 100% offensively awful! Granted, the episode is completely pointless and predictable, but hey, baby steps…

Seven Great Things!!!!!!! (Only some of which are ironic!)

  1. Anthony Rapp! Hands down the best character and performer on the whole show. I love me some Jason Isaacs, but sans English accent, he’s way less believable as a bad guy. Stamets, though, is killin’ it.
Seriously, he’s actually the best actor/character on the show. No snark. BELIEVE ME!!!

2. Harry Mudd!! Finally everyone’s lovable space pimp grew a pair and started murdering people. I now know who Three-Six Mafia used for inspiration.

3. No Klingons!!! Finally. Maybe the producers finally realized how awful the Klingons are, because they’ve seen very limited screen time the last few weeks. Either way, it makes me happy.

Ok, ok, it wasn’t “no” Klingons…
