Sat through most of the full version today.

Definitely no transporter accident.  It doesn't even make sense in context of the technology (receiver pad isn't needed if there is a sending pad (is it?)).  Seems pointless (but DOES explain the reason for no science officer).

Cut all the times anyone says "External view," to see what's going on outside of the ship they are talking to on subspace.  What the?  Where is the camera guy standing?  Awful awful plot device.

Just show the external view, don't pretend that people see it on their view screen.  At the briefing I recommend that the screen be replaced by static when they cut back to the scene, not the empty space where the ship was.
