RIP Ensign Gamble. You knew what you were getting into.
I liked this one a lot - I'm generally a fan of "ancient, unspeakable horror" stories, and this one was pretty well-told.
The Enterprise is seemingly able to declare its own red alerts - not much fun in that.
My biggest complaint is this show's continued abuse of the transporter buffer - it should not be easy to use it as a form of stasis!

Soon as he picked up the artifact I knew it was bad vibes from there on out

RIP red shirt.

The auto-red alerts did stick out a bit, but it kind of makes sense. The computer knows where everyone is and what they usually do, and behaviour-based intrusion detection systems are starting to become normal cybersecurity concepts even today.
-
To be fair, it was used the way in the TNG Episode Relics, when Scotty spent 75 years stuck in the Jenolan's transport buffer, so quiite a long precedent.
-
Sure, but "Relics" had a built-in caveat (which I think was an intentional piece of writing): it had a 50% mortality rate.
