    What a ride these two episodes were.

    A few of my favorite moments:

    • Gillian (the whale!) piloting the ship through the wormhole
    • Wesley finally calling his mom, but then showing up behind her as a surprise
    • The tie-in to the Picard synth attach at the end where the crew reacts to seeing the Mars attack on the news
    • Janeway pushing to continue some scientific and humanitarian missions

    I do have a question though. I have been getting “these two people seem to want to get together vibes” in between Chakotay and Janeway starting in the episode “Cracked Mirror”. Was this just wishful thinking on my part?

    Speaking of relationships, were holo-Janeway and the Doctor flirting?

      Agreed on all points.

      Jellico’s line about not being able to supply new combadges across the fleet was a pretty funny way to acknowledge the badge inconsistency with the “Picard” flashbacks - I’m going to try not to think about that too hard.

      I’m disappointed that we’ll never get a chance to see Elnor in one of the sailor suits the cadets wore on this show.

      One thing that’s going to bug me for a while is how Solum can progress peacefully without contradicting season one - Ilthuran isn’t exactly on track to become the Diviner at this point.

      Regarding Janeway and Chakotay, they had similar moments in Voyager, too. At first she was thinking she’d get back together with her fiance Mark. Then eventually she decides that since she’s a captain on a small ship that’s isolated from the rest of the federation, she shouldn’t fraternize with the crew.

      Also though, the two have a tight bond. Think about how long they’ve known each other, and what they went through together. I mean, she had her first officer infiltrate his ship after which they all got flung to the opposite side of the galaxy, and she made him the first officer. A lot of what we’re seeing use just that these two care so much about each other, not necessarily romantically.
