--- Opens with uninteresting quipping and obscene exposition within a ridiculous context. They had worked together for 7 years but spoke like they just met.
--- How did the 1st officer not notice they were 'drawing' a 30m wide Starfleet symbol in the sand when seconds earlier she's estimating the arrival time of a storm to the second?
--- How did it not get blown away by the wind before they finished?
--- The element of stealthy interference/prime directive stuff ruined entirely by flying the ship dramatically through the clouds.
--- If they could see the symbol from space why'd they have to go down to find the crew members? If they couldn't see it from space so had to go below the clouds how did they end up in the right place?
--- If they could see the crew but couldn't 'get a lock' why not send a shuttle?
--- She states the planet formation around the binary stars will 'be a home for future generations'. It takes at least a million years for a planet to form. You're telling me just 200 years after the election of Donald Trump we're going to be planning millions of years into the future and the colonization of planets that haven't even formed yet? Fuck off.
--- During the ridiculous 'fire the 1st officer at that unknown object section' the computer states the object is 1,000 km away. She'd been flying for a while at that point and traveled the whole distance in under 10 minutes. Even a conservative estimate would require her to be travelling at 10,000 km/h in a space suit. She decelerates to a stop in around a second. That's 70-80 G of force. How?
--- And IF the suit had some 'inertial dampeners' then how was she knocked completely unconscious by the mild bump into the Klingon?
--- The rest of the episode is the Vulcan character crying and acting emotionally, exactly like a Vulcan would.
