I think season 4 was the only one I didn't have to push myself to like - there were lots of great bits scattered throughout the first three seasons, but the fourth is where I felt like the whole season was enjoyable and strong (particularly the last couple of episodes).

And of course she has perfect taste and loves DS9. Iconic.

FINALLY a Cerritos!

Boims is an indoor kid

I usually skip the intros unless I'm really in the mood, but for LD my daughter and I always skip to the nacelle-eating alien (we named him Yum Yums), yell "YUM YUMS!", and then skip to the end.

I love this show, but I do not understand how they cannot create a uniform that doesn't look like pajamas (the Cerritos-style uniforms Janeway and her crew wear look great though). The weird gray they seem to be enamored with looks so silly.

They're also paying attention to when they need to renegotiate contracts. After the strikes, studio leadership has really doubled down on not giving an inch on writers' and actors' salaries even if it means cancelling a successful show. It's more valuable to them to keep workers in a state of perpetual gig work than anything they'd make from the show.

The shape of Hy’Rell’s head bumps resemble those of Xindi-Primates, first appearing in ENT: “The Xindi”, one of six intelligent Xindi species that were native to Xindus.

I believe it was mentioned in an interview that she's an Efrosian, which would be the first time we've seen one since TUC! The hair and the blue eyes seem consistent.

Enterprise’s mirror universe episodes also have that Dr. Mengele version of Phlox. Of course, I’m always happy for an excuse to pretend that Enterprise didn’t happen.

The Orion ship that arrives to collect Tendi is inspired by the one introduced in “The Pirates of Orion”, but appears to be a more modern iteration of that craft, as well as being significantly larger.

There have been a number of references to that episode this season, but STILL no one has said "Oreeeeon" or worn a silly green jumpsuit/helmet combo. Like what are they even doing?

I loved this one. I'd read a Ryan North comic about Shaxs doing pretty much anything, but nice to see him in action fighting fascists.
