Though I am deeply grateful that there is no cliffhanger.

In a season of genre experimentation they couldn’t decide whether to end with a Doctor Who episode or a Doctor Strange episode, so why not both?

As I’ve written elsewhere: By “time-traveling doctor,” Pelia was clearly referring to that time she did drugs with McCoy in the 1930s!

What I always wanted was someone to rearrange all the clips into chronological order. I don’t know why but it bothers me that they skip around.

• The one time I got to see Gene Roddenberry speak, he had brought along a blooper reel, which I think was fairly common to show at Star Trek conventions in the late 1970s, early 1980s?
• The Greatest Trek podcast mentioned that “TK” in the name TK Bellows is clearly an homage to the publishing term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_come_(publishing)
• The Greatest Trek also felt that the Uhura assistance to Scotty was a nod to her caregiving of him in Star Trek 5 (bringing him dinner while working, going on shore leave together)

I forgot about Gene Roddenberry’s sideburns in the 1970s. Hmm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Roddenberry#/media/File:Gene_Roddenberry_crop.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Asimov#/media/File:Isaac_and_Janet_Asimov.jpg

Anson Mount’s sideburns were a clear homage to Isaac Asimov.

Why didn’t they just put Batel in the medical transporter’s pattern buffer, like M’Benga did with his daughter?
