Do we think the episode title is a LotR reference? Or something else? If it IS a LotR reference, what does it mean?

also not sure how that wasn’t the finale, but imdb says there’s one more episode. Kinda scared now.

Hey so can we talk about the implications of Benny Russell being a real person in the Strange New Worlds universe?

Does it means Sisko lived in someone else’s life for a while?

Does it finally cement that this is in fact a different universe than the one occupied by the older shows?

Was this even the same Benny Russell?

Does this mean he got out of the hospital? Or was he never there?

Did this Benny Russell write Far Beyond the Stars, and did it mimic Ds9? How would he know?

It’s always like “Yeah we can beam over there, no problem!”

And they never. fucking. plan how to get back???

so like I don’t get how destroying this comet (which isnt a comet) is allowed under the prime directive/order one whatever. Don’t they have to let the comet hit the planet? Pike himself bitched Jim to hell and back for freezing that volcano. How is this different?

Here is my spoiler-free review of Strange New Worlds:
