Just a reddish color, yeah.

Didn't the Exocomp look almost exactly like the earlier live action version?

Only the front, the rear was completely different.

I love how the live action Brikar is only slightly more detailed than an animated Brikar, so they look almost identical to Rok.

Are you implying that Brikar all look alike?

In TNG? The bright colours and smooth lines made it seem more "cartoony" - think SD vs HD also plays a part

I might be wrong but the musical sting when the Betazed President chooses to rejoin sounded like it took influence from Jupiter (From Holst's Planets suite - and the music behind I Vow to Thee My Country which as a cellist was a really fun, beautiful piece to play)

They didn't, that was just the show being wrong.

Which I myself mentioned if you had read/quoted my full post and not just one line of it.

I figured I should actually check.

Fairly close.

I didn't like this episode as much as the first, but important things did happen in it, and that made it more tolerable. I did like the use of the Betazoids in this episode.

My biggest quibbles:

-The FX weren't as good to me in this episode. The Brikar, exocomp, and DOTs stood out and not in a good way.
-The Ake-Caleb relationship is already starting to feel repetitive.
-Where is the Federation president or Council to negotiate with Betazed? I think they should've made Vance the Federation president.
-The Doctor's musical performance went on too long.
-The use of contemporary language, especially from Caleb's new roommate, was a bit grating.
