I got drunk on wine during this episode.
Everything was awesome! I flipped out seeing the 27th century mobile emitter. The things this episode expressed about Starfleet and the Federation are how I feel about this community (the fandom). I started attending STLV recently in 2024. Being in Las Vegas, getting to be surrounded by this community is one of the reasons I love this community. Trekkies are awesome! I love everyone here. This episode did a lot to express what a found family is, something the heart of this series.
This episode was soooooooooooooooooooooooo good!!!
