Hooray - Star Trek is back

I'd generally been disappointed with this second season, recycling of old ideas and a general lack of creativity.

But this episode was splendid and had a welcome suprise half way through where Pike and crew come across a new friend, who just happens to be a creative genius.

The acting was very good and the special effects cinematic at times.

It may have featured an old foe , but transformed through modern day effects

No rubber suits this time around.

I hope that series 3 builds on this excellent episode , and possibly brings back some of the classic episode music from TOS .

TOS featured some wonderful composers like George Dunning, Fred Steiner , Sol Kaplan and of course Alexander Courage.

Their compositions really enhanced each episode, with a classic composition by Sol Kaplan for The Doomsday machine.

Anyway, my faith in this series has been restored.
