I didn’t expect Ceti Alpha VI to go “boom” quite so soon but here we are.

If anyone was still concerned that Khan would be somehow lionized by this series, his immediate decision to attack the crashed aliens should put that to rest.

Marla continues to be the most interesting character, trying to be the voice of Starfleet in the situation.

The framing story is beginning to get more interesting, as well, continuing to explore what the heck caused Ceti Alpha VI to explode in the first place.
