I agree, too much over the top action for my tastes, and the super serum was pretty silly. At least the Klingons were handled well. I like the look of them this season far better than anything else from this era of new Trek. They acted like Klingons too.
@Razzleberry @TheWorldSpins not a careful opener like S1 but they tied up ends like: Chief engineer, La’an, Una’s status, Spok’s emotions still out. A bit messy but we’re on track, and good Klingons.
Re the serum: Maybe it’s specifically for humans to fight Klingons unarmed (not general fighting juice), given M’Benga carries it since the Klingon war. Skipping explanation *may* mean we’ll come back to it, in the context of weapon ethics (in TNG, Q shows earth fought WW3 with drug-fueled armies).
