Another good episode! Really feels like the show is hitting its stride now.
My only complaint is a bit of standard fan whinging: I hope the detached nacelles go the way of the S1 Discovery Klingons. They just look so goofy.
I like the detached nacelles. It's nice to have at least a few clear indicators that technology has advanced in the 800 years since TNG. And it seems like a logical extension of the idea that the nacelles are these big dangerous things that needed to be kept separate from the living spaces and easily jettisoned.
Nah, they've never jettisoned the nacelles. The warp core is the dangerous bit (Voyager jettisoned it, what half a dozen times?). I don't know if the warp core on the Athena is floating but... maybe.
Jettisoning the nacelles was considered in TOS' "The Apple" and "The Savage Curtain", but in both cases they never actually did it.
Saved me from having to look up the episodes where that happened, nice.
