People didn't enjoy the episode?
I thought it was really good, much better than the last one. A much more layered story, actual character development, a goofy but at least memorable new character, Hondo was on form and made good use of, the Maw sequence excellent and I agree the music was really strong.
It dropped off at the end when we didn't get to see the homeworld, but up until that point I thought it was well paced, and I didn't get bored once.
