MODERATORS
I was hoping that we would get a Calypso reference when that music started playing. Oh well. I still felt the episode was a super fun ride.
It's an interesting sequence - it's similar enough to "Calypso" that I have to assume it's intentional, but also different enough that it doesn't quite line up with what we saw in that episode?
In that episode more time had passed, and Zora never mentions the crew by name, so the crew she was waiting for to return might have been replacements who never arrived.
True, but also it’s the Discovery, not the Discovery A we have now.
Calypso has to be assumed to be canon to a prevented timeline (maybe one where Control won at the end of season 2 etc.)
