I hope they don't treat the cliffhanger as an afterthought. They probably will but that's one thing I'm not a fan of when it comes to premiere episodes. The cliffhanger is dealt with in the first 30 seconds and then the new season can officially start.
The synopsis says they're stunned by it, so it's more likely it'll be 30 minutes of them staring at the pod rather than 30 seconds.
