There is no spoiler protection in the episode discussion threads, and spoiler tags are not necessary!
Why did they bother introducing the Athena’s bridge crew if they’re not going to use them?
I guess reunification between the Vulcans and Romulans must have taken a while if Vulcan was renamed to Ni’var in Nahla’s lifetime.
Convenient that they waited until the school year was over to lose most of the school.

Damn. That was an unexpected ending.
Wonder what Frakes has in store for next week.EDIT: It was heartwarming to see the R’uustai again.
EDIT 2: I thought I had heard Frakes directed two episodes.
Frakes says this was the last Star Trek episode he has directed. None of the filming since has fit his schedule.
