I liked this one a lot - I'm generally a fan of "ancient, unspeakable horror" stories, and this one was pretty well-told.

The Enterprise is seemingly able to declare its own red alerts - not much fun in that.

My biggest complaint is this show's continued abuse of the transporter buffer - it should not be easy to use it as a form of stasis!

The moment the camera focused on the orb I knew that little twerp (RIP Gamble) would do the typical redshirt thing and pick it up.

The computer knows where everyone is and what they usually do, and behaviour-based intrusion detection systems are starting to become normal cybersecurity concepts even today.
