I was hoping that we would get a Calypso reference when that music started playing. Oh well. I still felt the episode was a super fun ride.

[-] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 5 points 7 months ago

It's an interesting sequence - it's similar enough to "Calypso" that I have to assume it's intentional, but also different enough that it doesn't quite line up with what we saw in that episode?

Yeah, I really thought they would do a few future jumps and have Calypso be one. It seemed that the takeaway is that regardless of how it happens, if Zora is on her own, she's at least consistent with how she spends her free time.

Hah. I love this thought.
