That episode was certainly a marvel of set decoration.
Had they known this was going to be the final season, I wonder if they would have considered more guest stars. Seeing Hannah Cheesman as Airiam again was neat, but a Lorca and/or an Ash Tyler would have been pretty special.
I wonder if the sequence set in a possible future is the closest we're going to get to a "Calypso" tie-in...
I was hoping that we would get a Calypso reference when that music started playing. Oh well. I still felt the episode was a super fun ride.
It's an interesting sequence - it's similar enough to "Calypso" that I have to assume it's intentional, but also different enough that it doesn't quite line up with what we saw in that episode?
Yeah, I really thought they would do a few future jumps and have Calypso be one. It seemed that the takeaway is that regardless of how it happens, if Zora is on her own, she's at least consistent with how she spends her free time.
Hah. I love this thought.
In that episode more time had passed, and Zora never mentions the crew by name, so the crew she was waiting for to return might have been replacements who never arrived.
True, but also it’s the Discovery, not the Discovery A we have now.
Calypso has to be assumed to be canon to a prevented timeline (maybe one where Control won at the end of season 2 etc.)
Ash Tyler would have been pretty special.
Funny way of spelling Voq!
Would have been funny to bring fellow Cylon Landry back and have Rayner say "wait do I know you?"
