Oh no! It’s a _{1 2 3 4 5 6 …………………} ICOSAHEDRON!

Every episode seems to have one joke that really gets me. In this one it was Mariner stopping mid exclamation to make sure she correctly named the platonic solid that’s about to eat her.

They show us a canon depiction of the transparent skulled Gallamites and then they bring back that one species from ENT that was offended by public eating in the same second? It’s like they were targeting me specifically.

What did everyone think? I slipped into a fugue state when I saw actual Gallamites.

Jennifer and Mariner relationship was a bit toxic. T’lyn is awesome as always. So cute, I want a mini starship fleet to show up in the opening borg fight.
