Who else misheard Rok saying "Where did I put my nose?" after sneezing?

Adreek's weird bone horns showing up where his living head didn't look like it had any kind of raised my eyebrows. I didn't care much for the Matrix-like tunnel chase sequence but I did like the sailing sequence and Chakotay's heart-to-heart with Dal.

Every time I hear "It's been a long road" I think "Getting from there to here..."

Gotta hand it to them. They sure know how to keep back-to-back interesting cliffhangers for their episodes. This show would've been so tense as a weekly release.

Oof now that was quite the cliffhanger.

And Holo-Prodigy crew is right: Coffee is awful.

Doppelgangers are always fun. I'm kind of hyped up about the personality swaps for the future episodes.

Now I'm trying to imagine how dysfunctional the crew must've been in whatever episode they had when the EMH saw them. They're usually rather okay all things considered.

With how often Star Trek is inclusive and showing some work/research, I'm a little surprised to see the show mispronounce Sacagawea. Then again, there is at least the excuse that an Andorian is saying the word.

Those red leaved trees are known to produce a lot of sap. Watch out as it can stick to you.

Anyway, I expected more of a "Be careful what you wish for" resolution with L'ak, but they just told Mol what would happen instead of actually doing it / creating a copy with no memories. I was disappointed with that.

I'm also kind of disappointed that Vulcans are so often seen kissing instead of doing the finger thing.

I learned the term from Baldur's Gate 3, personally.

When I was doing a all Star Trek movies marathon recently, I did wonder what that Species that looked like a Klingon but wasn't a Klingong was, but it seemed hard to look up. Now I know he was an Efrosian.

“Euclidean Geometry”; this is the first mention of a species called the Euclideans.

Hehe

What else can be expected by someone nearly as legendary as Miles O'Brian?

Well, anyway today I learned the word Pataphysics.

I thought that the twist to Burnham's mindscape challenge would have been that she needed to empathize with others, and thus take a look at what Book was reading the whole damn time.

It is the 31st Millennium. For centuries the L'ak Emperor of Breenkind has sat immobile on the silver throne. He is master of Breenkind by the will of of the gods and master of a million worlds by the might of His inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the progenitor age of technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the vast Imperium of Breen for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day so that he may never truly die...

Better safe than sorry. People might have been surprised that the voyage home on the Klingon ship following the Search for Spock would have included whales.

Ah yes, a War in the Stars. My favorite Star related story outside of a Gate in the Stars or The Star of Galactic Battle.

The beginning and last line of Dr. Culber's conversation with his grandmother recreation felt a bit stilted, as if he wasn't fluent, which was strange because the middle part of the conversation had a goof flow to it. It made me wonder if there was some failure in directing or if Wilson Cruz is just not that fluent in Spanish compared to the actress for the grandmother, which is understandable and I'm not knocking him for it.

Anyway, I quite liked this episode. Very classic "planet of the week" Star Trek deal that I'm always down for. Break that prime directive. Save those natives from themselves. You can splurge on a plot or two of those. We've seen it before, we've seen it again. It had a solution more rooted in a character moment rather than Treknobabble which I appreciated. Thumbs up for Tilly's endurance, they made that whole run not look easy.

I can't help but think them teleporting to Moll and L'ak with the fresh new clue would essentially play right into their own hands.

Hexagon is bestagon. 'nuff said.

Was I the only one who was expecting a remix of the Discovery theme to the tune of the Original Series theme? I really misread that title.

I can't stop thinking about it now.
