    I largely quite like SNW, but this episode had some extremely questionable eugenics apologia laced into the narrative.

    I think the broadest problem with nu-trek (though it’s strongly reined in in SNW) is the heavily maudlin over-scoring and the bathos-laden dialogue. When almost every exchange between two characters sounds “perfectly written” and is dripping in score, it’s hard to take seriously.

    If SNW employed like, 20% more restraint in that regard, it would sing.
