The action in this episode is great and it certainly fills in a few of the blanks from season six (and to an extent, this season as well). My problem with it is all the time jumps and action taking place in different areas where time moves at different rates. This necessitates a nonlinear narrative, and whoo boy is this episode nonlinear. Perhaps when I go back and rewatch older episodes everything will make a little more sense but it's hard with only onscreen cues like "PLANET BARDO - 35 DAYS AGO" to place what happened before this scene, what happened after, and how what we're about to watch informs the actions of either of those.
So it's good; it certainly introduces some exciting new characters (and a new setting). You just might have to take notes while watching.
