Even though it is the fifth episode of this season, we are back to square one, with a foundational episode. The crew shows up after 900 years and naturally Starfleet is quite (suspicious. They gang is immediately checked out. Showing a total lack of professionalism, they are the consummate smart asses. Their chance to stay without being split up is contingent on them showing their new bosses knowledge and reliability. So they are asked questions and act like children (actually snotty teenagers), making the leaders suspicious. I guess since the contemporary Star Trek offerings are full of this behavior, the producers are more interested in catering to low common denominators than telling good stories.
