Notes
- Lt Arav (background recurring character) is played by Avaah Blackwell. Blackwell played numerous characters on both Discovery and Strange New Words. Most of the time with some hideous makeup that hides how good looking she is. :)
- The fifth and final appearance by Michell Browne as an unnamed Discovery engineer.
- The first of two appearances by Ache Hennaed as Kyheem. The other would be “Kobyayshi Maru“. The character would reappear in “Anomaly“, but that was only archived footage.
- The first of four appearances by Janet Kidder as the Orion Osyraa. She is the real life niece of Margot Kidder. She would also play Ruve Adams on CW’s Arrow (a show I quite liked).
- The second and final appearance by Ian Lake as the Orion Tolor. The other appearance was in “Scavengers“.
- The second of three appearances by Noah Averbach-Katz as the Andorian Ryn. At the time they made this he was married to Mary Wiseman (Tilly). The couple was married from 2019-2023.

That's not fully dived into

yet, but it's set up here. The stuff with Book's home planet didn't interest me first time around as he's not my fav character - which is odd as I like Ajala himself, but here I never cared for him. It's also a Frakes directed ep, those are always a good time. Was more enjoyable than I remembered.
