I thought this one was a tonal mess - so much so that I was convinced the whole thing was going to turn out to be a training simulation or something.
This show is usually so good at setting a clear mood, but this one was so all over the place, I didn't know how seriously to take the situations the crew(s) found themselves in.
The moment the planet exploded during the opening act I was certain that Kirk was daydreaming up some action since he was literally just complaining about how bored he was.
As the episode went on I was no less convinced, but began to wonder if maybe there was some alien interference that was transforming his desire for action into either a shared dream or some simulated experience for both crews.

Also maneuvering a space vessel with two thrusters which are facing in opposite directions may be impossible...
Adding a single airlock replacing one of these thrusters (which therefore must be incredibly weak) makes it even more of a mess...
It's like they didn't consult the daystrom institute at all! Haha
Although tbf I think the port and starboard thrusters are aft facing.
Spot on about the airlock though.
