Notes
- The fourth episode in a row directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi. I believe that’s a record for Star Trek television for most directed episodes in a row by one person.
- The first time an episode of any incarnation of Star Trek has been duplicated. 03×02 of Enterprise was also titled “Anomaly“.
- The events of the two part finale of Season 1 of Star Trek Picard (Et in Arcadio Ego) are brought up here.
- It is said the Discovery’s computer’s name is Zora here.

Stamets on a mission to collect data about the anomaly. Despite the action, they still found a lot of time to work in personal moments with characters, which was more of a draw for me. Most of this ep was "save Book's ass", but it felt weak because you knew he wasn't dying. Personal stuff better.

One thing I *ADORED* was the new "private channel" comm thing where the Captain can sit in their chair and have a chat with someone else and nobody else can hear them. That's one of the better pieces of new tech the show ever came up with now that they're in the 32nd century. Awesome.
