To pile on one more nitpick, though, did the camera flipping upside down at the drop of a hat bother anyone else? No idea why opening a hatch into a subfloor calls for a full vertical 360 camera move. Or did I miss something there?

At first, I thought they were demonstrating that the gravity plating, or whatever, pulled in the opposite direction under the deck. Then the camera flipped again. Weird.
Yes. All the camera tricks, and especially whatever the hell that was when MтАЩbenga and Chapel beam aboard, were weird and distracting. In the age of CGI everywhere the last thing we need is disorienting camera setups for no real reason. Just let us see the action and emotion!
It's a thing with modern Trek shows. I'm just grateful SNW doesn't do Discovery's "We have two characters talking so LET'S CONSTANTLY WHIP THE CAMERA AROUND THEM" trick.
Actually, after thinking about it further and considering the plot context, I'm wondering if the transporter thing was an homage to Sunshine, which features a similar scene.
So glad this is back!

Oh yeah, that too. Just seems like a director trying about 15% too hard.

And also, as far as cribbing, there's the whole "Star Trek VI" of it all going on with the framing.
