I thought this episode had two polarizing plots that didn't really help the overall feel that things were becoming more serious for the Rangers. This close to the end, while I know there are some more coming up, I don't feel like we should really have any silly plots.

Sure, it ties things up for Tyler/Shelby, but with that pairing being drawn out this far in, I would have preferred them having it fully established a little earlier, or actually show more of them together instead of just being flirty. If that makes sense.

On the other side, we have the plot moving forward, but I felt like the Zenowing/Doom two-halves-of-one-whole, how-do-we-split-them part was waaaaaay too short. You've had Heckyl/Snide gain access to the base before Shelby found out they betrayed the Rangers (which I'm still annoyed they haven't shown anything else with that), which, for the short while it was there, really amped up the danger of the season. If they hadn't revealed they were the same person, they could have extended that plot a bit more with something like that.

I agree with Kickback, the Tyler/Shelby/NZ-ed Boys plot was shoehorned into this episode and really brought what it could have been, down.

But, compared to what else we've gotten in DSC so far, I do agree it was overall one of the better episodes. Not best, just better.
