The acting was strong and everyone acted the hell out of it, but holy shit the writing was sloppy. Not even lazy - they showed but then also told, which was dumb.
I'mma spoiler the rest of my post so I dont get b&.
For example, when it's obvious Batel was linked in some way to the warden, they then proceeded to do the stupidest five minute conference room technobabble about epigenetics that was about as retarded and long winded (and incorrect) as the pontification about introns in TNG: Genesis. Why? You literally could have had Batel do the equivalent of Neo going "Whoa, I know kung fu" and understand what's going on.
Likewise, the Inner Light sequence with the knocks as transition - yes, we get it. We get it, You overdid it.
The excuse to do the mind meld for the laser was just some Kripke tier queerbaiting, but Spirk has been a thing forever so whatever. It could have been done so much more smoothly, such as in the China Mieville book Embassytown, or even the hack reason in Pacific Rim.
The explanation about the ripoff Stargates was overwrought. Trekkies already know about Iconians. Scifi fans in general know about Stargate. We get it. Don't do the equivalent of folding a paper in half and pushing a pencil through. You showed, you don't need to tell (badly) on top of that.
The showdown between Batel and Gamble was pure Doctor Who (and the comic bit with Pelia shows it). Everyone acted their best - kudos to the guy playing Gamble for really hamming it up - but it doesn't fit in Trek. The inner light bit was nice, I guess, as a bit of emotional resolution for Batel's arc, but it could have been done much more compactly.
The costume design on the giant hoverdiamond planet was pretty nice.

Overall - every department in SNW is working their hardest, but the writers need to either take more or less Adderall, because they're just spoiling the soup with too much shit.
