This one should have taken a lesson from “Shore Leave” where the story was written heavy on fantasy and wound up being rewritten while being shot to try and pull it back. SNW thinks it’s great to lean harder into it, and you get whatever that was.

I don’t have much to say on this one. It was alright. Nice to see La’an make some forward progress in her own issues. When I saw the flat planet going through space I thought for a brief moment we were going to get a Discworld parody/crossover. I didn’t mind this diversion so much, given that it was grounded in some kind of reality, and continued the story we had already started much earlier in the series. I do think everyone should have caught imposter pike much earlier on.

So thats there Billups homeplanet came from

Sounds like they’re going to a world that’s both strange and new. I expect everyone will love it.
