This was a fantastic episode but they hit my pet peeve twice. They seem unaware of math. If a ship traveling warp 4.9 was chasing a ship going 4.8 and that ship was 2 light years ahead of them, it would take 100 days to catch up. One is going about 7 times light speed faster than the other. Catching up in hours like they did on the show was so out of whack I didn't need to do the math to know it was wrong.
The second time was when T'Pol said a subspace signal would that 200 years to get to the Delta quadrant. That would put the signal speed at about warp 7.1. By their own rules it should be way faster.
I know those are geeky things but Star Trek is a geeky show.
