The basic premise is excellent as it develops Species 8472. However, the execution was boring. It seems that the creators feel much better when they are not confined within a bigger story arch. There was no tension, nor anything deeply exciting happened in the episode. However, I love that the day is saved not by phaser fire but by talking over a round table - and that was the only thing I remembered when sitting to write this post about the entire episode. +[^latin]: [a negative vote](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/non%20placet). + +Homefront[^homefront] did it better. +[^homefront]: [an episode of Deep Space 9 sharing a lot of similarities](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homefront_(Star_Trek:_Deep_Space_Nine). + +### Doctor factor + +Was he even here?
