I wasn't expecting much, but this episode came out with a bang. It's action from the first second. Clearly the producers have gotten the word that we were sick of the endless talking.
For all the controversy around the show, it was always true that no show ever envisioned the far future better than ST:D. There's just enough "magic" that you believe you're beyond what we know without it becoming nothing more than magic. They make new rules and stick by them. Nothing shows this more than the opening sequence of. Burnham trying to bring a rogue ship out of warp. Her rescue is entirely believable given the tech they have, and no other SF show could have done it quite the way they did.
Some of the story seems stolen from other universes like Star Wars. Still, the visuals are absolutely stunning. I was never bored.
I hope this means that the producers have taken all the criticism as a challenge, and this last season will be truly memorable.
