Pretty enjoyable episode - I feel like it's been a while since we've seen a good "disaster" (or "Disaster," if you prefer) outing.
The Chapel/M'Benga plot was affecting - M'Benga may decide not to leave, but they seem to be laying the groundwork for him to take a subordinate position to McCoy once he eventually shows up.
The Scotty plot has the most long-term impact, I think...enough impact that I was beginning to think Pelia wouldn't survive the day.
I liked the callbacks in this one - they mostly seemed organic. The sudden return of Boyce was the biggest surprise. I couldn't figure out why he looked so familiar, but it turns out Brian Markinson is a Trek veteran, playing several characters throughout the 90s, including my boy Elias Giger.
Beyond that, we got a weird TMP-style warp wormhole, and Kirk's ion pod from "Court Martial."
Big fun, all around.
For a moment I did wonder if pelia was going to be the one who goes out to take the readings, and it would be her going out with a bang.
For me, it was the moment where she patched the hole in her quarters - despite her fixing that specific problem, it suddenly made me dread what the outcome might be for her.
I'm very careful reading those threads to avoid spoilers, because my partner and I will only be watching once the entire season is available. That said, a Dr Giger callback in any way, shape or form is the most promising thing I've heard about s4 so far 😂
