This is not one for your ten year old. Graphic injury to eyes and blood, plus frequent views of the damage done. Also very disturbingly realistic pain and panic reaction from the injured character. Also features possession by murderous malevolent entity. Give it a pass until your child is older.

Watching it now...I see that Gamble went to the Prometheus School of Encountering Mysterious Alien Objects.
I am just at that point and am so-far liking the episode, feels a bit closer to what I want to see.
Isn't this kind of... sad? I can't think of any TOS episode that would cause this kind of hesitation, maybe one TNG (Conspiracy) nothing in the other series stand out, except maybe the DS9 episodes with heavier war themes?
I'm liking SNW, but that it gives this kind of hesitation is just, well, sad.

What is up with Batel? Last week, iirc, she was close to getting a commission as captain of another ship. Now, she is wearing civilian clothing and receiving medical care aboard the Enterprise. It has been at least six months since the events in Hegemony, Part II.
She's still affected by her Gorn injury.
Thank you.
She experienced a medical setback in her treatment. Apparently, it set back her progress for months, and it does not look as if she's getting better.
Pics that will show the worst, but also who it's happening to (not a main character)
Eh, a 7. Good enough episode but dov3 into horror/thriller aspects quickly after the discovery/exploration stuff. Sigh. I dunno, things aren't clicking like the first season did. Still good and all, but... I dunno.
A mix of Trek, Alien, Indian Jones and the Last Crusade, Mummy and Interstellar, all rolled into one.
Cinematography and special effects were really well done. Good enough for a movie.
They managed to add some humor in it, mostly Erika's brother. Pelia is scary by herself.
Of course the new guy dies, and he's not even wearing a red shirt.
All in all, I'm enjoying this season. You never know what episode is coming next. They are so different stylistically episode to episode.

I enjoyed that more than the last couple of weeks.
I particularly liked the way they had to solve the puzzle on different planes of existence.
I was beginning to think we'd never see Pelia again, then there she is!
An 8 anyway.

Felt like a real "It was okay I guess" kind of episode. It was fine, and I have no strong feelings one way or the other. Which is a step up from last week at least. 
Edit: I allow that I may be letting my overall dissatisfaction with this season cloud my judgement. Hopefully I'll upgrade this one beyond "okay" in later rewatches.

“Where we’re going, you won’t need eyes to see.”
Ah, a good old-fashioned alien possession of the week story! Casualties--four.
Mariegorn! Slayer of Vezda parasites! My adoration for her has reached another level. She needs to team up with Pelia!

It did get a little red
The cold open had me worried that this was going to be a long and boring relationship-based episode. Love triangles and lord knows what.
It actually turned into an atmospheric and well-paced story, if a bit brutal at times.
There were some very obvious concepts thrown in from a movie or two, but for the most part it was very engaging.

This is more like it! This is what I want from Star Trek. Mysteries, exploration, strange new worlds and civilisations. The best episode this season so far and also one of the better ones of the entire series.
The story was good, but I didn't like the ending. If the character died, they could have given him some credit at the end. His death was just a simple fact. Life and death happen, but this character was likable, and they made an effort for viewers to connect with him. I did connect, and now he's gone without any real emotion from anyone else. I'm left with characters who don't grieve, which makes it hard for me to connect with them again.
Yeah because star trek has never ever reused filming locations before
Bioengineering new eyes just like that 100 years before Geordi? Sedatives working on a dead brain?
But it was an interesting adventure and exploration story, even with Indy 3 invisible bridge
Could that being be a pah-wraith?
From what I remember, it was Geordi who didn't want bioengineered eyes and opted for the visor. Do we know if the technology (bioengineering organs like eyes) DID NOT exist around TOS? I'm not sure. I really liked this one... it's more my kinda thing. But I need to watch it again tonight before saying anything else or grading it.
