That was just illustrative, (and even so the fact they said yes before doesn’t ensure they’d say it again). The point was that they will always get all the voice actors back, as the script will adapt to only include those that say yes. ---

It was a good final episode with lots of details tied together in a nice neat bow. I’m still sad it’s over, though. Brace for weird! ---

They teased the Enterprise being enroute to help, so I was expecting a bunch of Next Gen cameos. But no. ---

After it had a rough start at the very beginning this became the best Trek show in 30 years. I will miss it. I really liked the Klingons turning into Discovery Klingons at the beginning. I love the idea of there being a permanent multiversal wormhole for the Federation to explore. I was hoping for one of the transitions to turn everything to live action for a second. Probably very expensive to do that though. Live Long and Prosper Lower Decks. ---

> [@Darren\_Garrison](#): > > William Boimler’s great rant from the episode: > > Because they’re probably a hacky evil version of someone we all know! A reverse Picard or a Borgified Kirk or, f\*\*k it, I don’t know, human Worf! That’s all the multiverse is, just lazy, derivative remixes! Gotta love a good meta-rant. I just watched that ep last night, and that rant made me laugh. As a casual Trek watcher who’s never considered myself a ‘Trekkie’, I’m surprised how many ‘callback’ references I’ve picked up on while watching. But for every one I’ve caught, I’m sure I’ve missed another one, though.
