It was a fun twist - it was good to see something that will carry forward from what was otherwise a fairly standard hijinks episode.

It's also good to see Maj'el getting involved in said hijinks like a good Vulcan.

Wow, Tarka was a chatty sonofagun.

Honestly? I think that's probably exactly what they do.

Nostalgia sells, which is why TOS stuff specifically has dominated the merch market for years. And older fans, unfortunately, are probably more likely to have money to burn.

I find merch interesting these days...what do people even want? I feel like action figures are a thing of the past. Are prop and costume replicas where it's at these days?

I wonder if they'll tie that directly in to Lower Decks with a Doctor guest appearance.

Dr. Erin is canon!

Well, canon-er, since she got a brief name drop in a Lower Decks episode.

I was briefly concerned that they were treating time travel and quantum realities as the same thing, but I'm glad they addressed them separately in Chapter 15.

I'm gonna have to disagree with Maj'el - I don't think either the Bell Riots or Cochrane's warp flight are examples of causal time loops.

Of all the possible references to legacy characters they could have made, Edward Larkin was not on my Bingo card...

All in all, I think it's a pretty good setup for a season. Time travel nonsense is a pretty big swing for a kids' show, so I'm curious to see how it all plays out.

I think making Dal have a hard time adjusting to student life and not being at the centre of the action makes a lot of sense. As much as he clearly has room to grow, I wonder if there will ever be an opportunity for Starfleet to tailor their material to his personal learning style.

I haven't seen the season yet, but the description here seems very in-line with what we saw in "Picard."

A disturbing number of people seem to be unwilling or unable to curate their feed.

Total Archer move.
