I guess I'm nostalgic for disaster movies because I rather liked this one. I liked the subplot of keeping M'Benga alive between a rock and a hard place, even in noncompliance of some orders. Scotty's character was really endearing this episode whereas I usually didn't care much for Montgomery Scott in the original series and earlier season.
That said, the "Strong Force Neutrino" stuff felt a little too out there for me in terms of stretching the plausibility of technobabble. I guess the concept of a starship acting like a particle lab because it's moving so fast could be kind of cool, but it felt like they forced talk of the famously neutral neutrinos because it was the "Wormhole" particle in DS9.
