Seriously. The oddity of this episode was that it was the first of the season but, in this era of binge watching, most audiences won't notice it as more than a blip. Spock could always carry an episode on his own. Shatner just wouldn't have stood for it.
I don’t know that “most” folks binge watch, though a significant number do I’m sure so maybe as you say it will be a blip.
I primarily didn’t like the episode because of the ridiculous “action hero” versions of M’Benga and Chappell. It was simply lazy writing for them to use a drug that turns them into fighters instead of using their wits to escape.
I’m a little worried with the Spock-Chappell ‘shipping plus the whole trying to shoehorn Spock’s TOS-movie character arc into this show by, as someone else mentioned “giving him the feels”. Remember Spock in Amok time smiling and saying “Jim!”
Season 1 of Strange New Worlds was great. Season 2 is off to a bad start. I hope it gets better.
I’ll also add that in 1968, having a bridge with alien, a black woman, a Russian and a Asian was pretty radical for the time…maybe even more so than having a Hispanic lesbian at the helm today. Diversity for diversity sake has always been part of Star Trek…but to kinda make the point that we get past the need for that.

I also hated the doctor and nurse on PCP fight montage. It seemed like a weak version of the Daredevil extended fight sequences.
By the way, Anson Mount took a leave because he had a baby. They decided to lead with Spock and crew to give Mount a break to be with his wife and kid.

To be fair he was more emotional in the pilot episode, when they had not written that into his character yet. This could be a lead up to those events and him becoming more detached for Kirk’s tenure.
