Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, ). They manage to avoid some of the worst tropes expected of the Society Run By A Computer genre of Star Trek episode. Instead the focus is on character-driven conflict, which is a nice change. Sadly, the characters aren't done particularly well and have no satisfying resolution.
Objective Rating (Average):
