So, as someone who is watching the entirety of DS9 for the first time... Spoilers? Lol. But actually, that made me appreciate the episode more.
I really like how this series evolves. The last three episodes were all really good. This DS9 homage felt great in a franchise which is very much TOS/TNG focused.
I did not quite get the "Thank you, Avery" in the end and had to check whether Brooks died? Is it because he retired?
Presumably it's a combination of "thank you for what you contributed to Star Trek" and maybe a way to acknowledge him letting them license the final scene narration off of an album he did some 20 years ago.
Makes sense. Apparently he was also creatively involved in the episode to a certain degree.
I hadn't heard that, other than they got his blessing basically (and the licensing) and he was given a copy of the script to read. Cirroc Lofton seems to be the one that was as close to hands-on involved as you can get when you're not a writer of the script.
