I think the jealousy-adjacent dialog between Chapel and La'an is still a little too "we're trying to break free from a puritanical mindset" 21st-century. Wouldn't the two talk rather differently 236 years from today?

I really like Dana Gamble.

(I know.)

Huh. Myst V: End of Ages vibes on this bubble thing.
I enjoy these main characters _so much_. Pike. M'Benga. A younger Spock and Uhura. Chapel. Na'an. (Think I haven't seen Ortegas in this ep yet?) Good writing, good acting, good competence porn without leaning too hard into TNG's rare level of competence.
The "I'm just trying to record all this for a documentary" C-plot is cute.

Of course, the sets are great, as always.

Once again, sickbay needs more background actors.

Maybe this should’ve been a two-parter?

Just minor nitpicks. Good ep. #StrangeNewWorlds

Wait what the hell

#Myst V: End of Ages is literally today’s featured article on Wikipedia??
