I disagree a lot. I think the idea was very good and it has good chunks, but overall it was even below average for SNW due to not so good writing. I felt the same about the first episode of the season. I feel it hid to much information just to be able to give a twist in the end, at the expense of the first part of the episode, which I think it dragged too much.

I feel the writers are trying very hard to show SNW can have a very wide range of themes but I dont think they are delivering that well when it comes to war.

I don't think it was much of a twist. Between the doctor's actions in The Broken Circle (using the protocol 12 combat enhancer to fight his way through a ship of Klingons with Nurse Chapel, as recapped at the start of the show), the Special Ops Andorian trying to recruit him to the mission (and the doctor declaring that his days of doing such things were behind him), the re-introduction of the P12 green vial, and the repeated aggressive physical contact between M'Benga and Dah'Ruk, it was pretty well spelled out for us before the end of the episode.

maybe I just did not fully understood everything until it was over. I found it confusing that the reason to call him butcher was not the killing of civilians but he killing his own men.

In the end he wants to keep the fact that he didn’t kill his own men because that seems to be the reason for starfleet to really considered him a defector? I honestly see that as a weak argument. particularly several years after he has been successfully working as an ambassador.

I feel that if his lies would have been clear earlier we could have had more intense scenes between them and his character could have been developed a bit better
