e4 was a meh.
It starts as an endearing log by the Dr., who is the first Starfleet Doc who isn't crotchety. I do like him. He's got a great bedside manner.
It moves to Adira and her Tal symbiont, which she can't connect with, so they have to go to Trill to discover what's up. Adira wasn't developed enough so her issues don't gain sympathy. The actor playing Adira, Blu del Barrio, is non-binary in real life, and they are intriguing, but I haven't quite warmed up to them. There's metaphoric potential here but so far, this first exploration is underwhelming. But I'm hopeful. Still, hard to beat Dax.
Capt Saru tries to unite the bridge crew over dinner but that fails. Georgiou is snarky, a bit overplayed, but we'll take it. Detmer freaks out, something that's been building since e2. I find Detmer intriguing but she's never quite been explained satisfactorily for me. She was under Georgiou from the very start, but she still feels underdeveloped. What's up with her cybernetic implants anyway?
The biggest bum out was that there was no Reno.
So this ep fell flat. They can't all be winners.
