I remember there was a Simpson's joke where Chief Wiggums said something like, "You called the wrong number, this is 912." But most people outside of America probably won't know that 911 is the emergency hotline in the USA.

I personally am looking forward to the inevitable crossover episode with Strange New Worlds.
That's going to be so dope. Probably very pricy too, since license Lego products are expensive and the tariffs I've heard have even effect Lego prices.
Some of the deaths in Orb just leave you with...well now what? Everyone is dead, how can the plot possibly continue? And then it does... So I think this is exactly what OP is looking for.
- Yeah. They waste at least 2 days trying to get Ortega back when maybe they should have just accepted the calculated loss. They even risked the Enterprise in a very dangerous maneuver to force open the wormhole. All around it is a bad call from Pike, but it's pretty on brand for Starfleet Captains to put an individual over the needs of the many. It's why Vulcan captains probably suck.
- I think this can easily be handwaved away since the scenario is artificial in the first place.
- Odds are it'll take a few days or possible weeks of travel to rondevu with the Constellation.
To be fair, if you look at her quarters, she does tinker with things a lot. So it's not exactly out of left field that she might have the mechanical knowledge to tinker up some jury rigged devices.
I really love the english dub. I feel like the 2 robot bro's voices fit their character better then their Japanese VA's.
A Darmok, The Enemy and Arena episode is not what I was expacting but I was pleasantly surprised.
I don't mind retreading old stories, after all recycling plots is a Star Trek tradition.
I'd have been happier without the reveal of the Metrons. I get it, as a callout/foreshadowing of Arena, but I kind of feel that is took away from the emotional beat of the Gorn being killed by the security team. Then to also have it handwaved away with a memory wipe, so that it is only meant for us, the viewers. I don't know man... I kind of like the deepcut, but it's also distracting.
I guess it was also a bit necessary for us to understand the Gorn a bit more to have the all seeing eye narrate to us that the Gorn pilot was lonely and is the reason Ortega was spared.
Anyway, I loved this episode. We got a whole episode for Ortega. Addressed her PTSD that had been sitting in the backseat for this entire season. And I love these kind of survival episodes. Like I really enjoyed ENT's Shuttlepod One for the same reason. Just seeing characters fighting for their lives and also accepting their death in a cold and uncaring Universe. It's good compelling Star Trek.
The only thing I wish is that SNW's best episodes didn't feel like the best of TOS.
This show is so wholesome and peak.
Kyoto Animation is doing such an amazing job at animating this series.
Also, who is that girl that rigged the race for Matsuri and Eri? I don't remember seeing her before this episode, but there are so many characters it's easy to have missed her.
It's crazy how funny and how much character development we get in a short 3 to 5 minute episode.
Just last episode we were told Kanata met Akane when he worked on her bike, and so we know he's technical. And now he's saving the day (theoretically) by hot wiring the door system to restart.
I think we should. Any reason to talk more about Star Trek lore is great in my book.
