Wow, Wheaton was really great in this. His manic, impulsive Wesley Crusher is a lot more interesting than the more serene version we've gotten since...always, really.
They're really leaning in to the Doctor Who of it all, not just with Wesley, but also with the Loom, which seem ripped straight out of Father's Day.
It's nice of the Starfleet of this era to not only put security officers back into red shirts, but making them brighter than those of the command officers to make them easier targets.
That was certainly unexpected - I love the concept of having to sail the Protostar across the atmosphere.
Beltran's work as Chakotay this season has actually been really good - this might be the first time I've ever been invested in the character.
