Decided to give this one another try based on it being praised by the AV Club as being a good ensemble piece. Setting aside that Hoshi barely has more to do than Archer's dog, I found myself annoyed at how the production team once again displayed such Khan-like two dimensional thinking. The massive storm front the ship couldn't hope to outrun... had visible top and bottom edges. The crew could have just plotted a course on the z axis and parked itself comfortably above or below it.
 
Same with the Nexus in GEN, or the Praxis explosion in TUC. It's just visually easier to show an approaching band of energy than an approaching wall.
 
I guess you could rationalize things by saying it's only visible from the angle you're looking at it, but is in fact going in all directions...
