hopefully, it’ll be possible to opt out somehow.

awesome work; it gave me goosebumps. lol

Honestly there’s just so much in this episode, that even after several viewings I’m sure you’d still be picking out small references and easter eggs here and there.

I watched the reviews and spoilers before watching the episode so that I could appreciate them all in my first go for this exact reason; they always shove so much into these kinds of episodes that it’s near impossible to get them all and I’m here for it lol

i’m really enjoying how kirk and data have been updated to modern sensibilities.

kirk is no longer the womanizer and leading man from the impression that casual viewers got from him (despite it being off from his actual character), but he still charms and the physical version of data is no longer the wooden automaton that the middle aged back in the 80’s expected androids to be and is simply the human he had always aspired to be now.
