-I loved the episode,although the new 'captain' is as dumb as James T. Kirk from Star Trek 2009 (i have nothing against that movie,excepting the uniforms) but i couldn't miss one mistake : Janeway's uniform and the insignia are the wrong ones ,that style was changed in the war with the Borgs from Star Trek : First Contact ,in the same time when Seven of Nine joined the crew of U. S. S. Voyager and we know U. S. S Protostar was made after Star Trek :Voyager's ending ,when Janeway was promoted to the rank of admiral and her uniform was changed with the grey and black one. If they wanted to keep the old uniform ,as an homage to Voyager's journey to the Delta quadrant,then the insignia should be the one introduced in Star Trek :Generations ,not this one ,which is obviously introduced in the post -Voyager era so i consider this as being a production mistake,like the one from the trailer of that Star Trek :Discovery's episode from season 3 , about that Starfleet officer from Star Trek 2009 timeline,when they used the uniforms from the first season of Star Trek :TNG and the insignia from Star Trek:Generations.
Anyway ,i expected to see something else in this episode ,but it was a good surprise ,the ship so cool and even better than the upgraded U. S. S. Discovery .I hope they will introduce that Caitian child as a main character,because there are way too many nasty characters in this show,but this is a common problem in any Star Trek series ,even in the better ones (the fans hate that ),for example the second part of Deep Space Nine ,when the main characters are becoming more likeable it is considered better than the first one ,when everybody was cranky and the same goes with Star Trek :Enterprise.
