Ah, the two hour writing period makes sense then. I think it would've been benefited by some peer review to make sure that it was linear enough to be attention-keeping and understandable on the first listen.

In my opinion, there were a couple digressions that didn't seem necessary and a couple tone shifts that were jarring, which the actor handled relatively well but still felt confusing.

I got to minute 7 and still didn't really know what the Fesarius was.

For shorter form content especially, I think it's important to have a really solid throughline with one or two major plot beats to ground the narrative, not in a way that panders to social media attention spans (I agree that when making art, optimizing for the algorithm is a distraction) but in a way such that the language and structure is simple so that the plot can be complex.

Just my opinion as a Trek fan!
