[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 16 points 3 years ago (1 child) I think there are two big elements that made this episode as successful as it was: Taking ongoing SNW storylines like Spock/Chapel seriously, and not using them as punchlines. The unexpected delight of the Enterprise crew fanning out over the NX-01 era, holding a mirror to Boimler and Mariner. Both of these elements were welcome, and helped keep the episode grounded. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Wooster@startrek.website 10 points 3 years ago I think it also helped that we got more character out of Ortegas than we did in "Among the Lotus Eaters" which she dominated the B plot. The cast was all used well. permalink fedilink source parent
