I'm a big fan of the "Star Trek Continues" people, and their previous episodes were quite good to excellent. Unfortunately, this 4th episode does not please.
My opinion is, most every aspect of this episode was good... except the story. Unlike some other reviewers, I did not feel this story fit the spirit of StarTrek. The story problems also forced the actors/characters to act and behave in ways that just didn't seem consistent with the characters we know and love. I believe this wasn't the actors' fault, because they were forced to say and do things that simply didn't match what we know about these iconic characters.
I'm such a fan of these people and the job they do on relative pennies of production budget, I was tempted to artificially boost my rating above what is deserved. Instead, I chose to give an objective rating that ignored everything else. Since everything but story was good, perhaps one could argue 3/10 is too low a rating. However, sometimes one weak link can cause massive destruction, and this is what happened here.
Keep up the good work, StarTrekContinues, but be much more careful and selective with the stories you choose.
