One of the best episodes of Star Trek I’ve seen in a long time. Loved it!
I’ve found the season to be a little lacklustre, but I really liked this one. The gags seemed like more than just gags, and the story was more engaging than I thought many of them have been recently.
Having Jolene
Blalockback was a real treat.I liked how William Boimler was so done with Multiverse fatigue. Felt topical given the current Hollywood trend.
“Sodium is not a full life” “Maybe it is for me, dammit!” Felt this in my soul.

Agreed - it was nice to see them tackle multiverse fatigue head-on. It was even nicer to have Lily(!) provide a bit of a rebuttal to it, and argue that such stories don’t have to be hacky.
I just started this one and have to keep pausing it to calm down every time he introduces a member of his crew.
So Andrew Robinson finally got his wish. Love it.
Holy crap, that was amazing. I guess the power of the multiverse is that, to quite 3 the Cole Porter standard, anything goes…
That was fucking epic.
Also, she goes by Jolene now?
I don’t care what she goes by, lol, I’m just shocked, amazed, and grateful they got her to reprise T’Pol (I just finished an ENT rewatch). She retired and hasn’t acted since 2017. She’s also Mrs. Ticketmaster so she definitely doesn’t need to work. Glad she’s a Trekkie otherwise it probably wouldn’t have happened.
That was for certain the surprise guest star.
For sure. I was like “That…looks like T’Pol” and then he introduced her. I was like “surely they wouldn’t bring back that character just to recast her” and was ecstatic when, yep, it was T’Pol.
