Even if the Crew Officer was high on psilocybin, the guy steering the ship should have known what a hurricane looks like, why didn't he alert the Captain.

Not a terrible episode (a low bar concerning the first 3 episodes) after we got through the cringeworthy expositions.  Don Johnson actually got a fair number of lines this time.  Yeah, what was the First Officer even doing on the bridge after that diagnosis?  

A long time ago I was working in a recycling depot and came across a newspaper section advertising an entire convention of wellness consultants.   The usual diet and exercise regimes, yoga, chanting, channeling spirits from long ago; maybe they had some exorcism consults too.  It was a weeklong thing in San Francisco and I have kicked myself ever since for not going.
