As the series continues, I find Iām a lot more interested in the worldbuilding than the story itself.
Thereās a lot of cool stuff in there - I hadnāt considered the fact that Khan and his people were unfamliar with Federation technology, and the fact that McGivers uses that to her advantage is a lot of fun. I enjoy listening to them go about the day-to-day business of survival - maybe itās the Naveen Andrews of it all, but it reminds me of the first season of āLostā.
The framing story continues to be pretty irrelevant, but itās nice to hear them diving into the burning questions surrounding TWOK. How could the Enterprise crew have missed the fact that one of the planets in the system was about to go critical? How could the Reliant crew not have not noticed a missing planet upon their return? Now that these questions have been raised, I assume answers will be providedā¦
