Oh, so they're combining the Saru story with the the story about the mysterious signals. I was wondering when they were going to get back on track on that. The timing of the signal and Saru learning the truth about his people can't be a coincidence.

Your poster image isn't working

OK, now it's working.


Looks like a Slender Man Invasion.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

Oh, good. I'm glad it's tying back into the Red Angels stuff. Hopefully we get some good info on them.

 

[Novarcharesk]

Loving how fierceom the Ba'ul appear. Seen so many generic villains, but a more inhuman and otherworldly enemy opens doors with a whole new personality for the Ba'ul to explore.

 

[Turtletrekker]

I think I'll do a rewatch of The Brightest Star and the relevant portions of An Obal for Charon before the episode drops.

That's what Saru actor Doug Jones recommends too:

[The Habs Fan]

Here's my way out there theory if the title refers to time travel of some kind:
The Ba'ul have the ability to see the future and the Kelpians destroy their civilization in the future so they've changed the past by enslaving and culling the Kelpians in order to save their race.

What is more likely to be the plot:
The effects of breaking the prime directive.

On Canadian TV, the time slot for this episode (with commercials) is 75 minutes long. The only one longer was Brother which had a time slot of 80 minutes. I'm thinking this episode's duration without commercials will be somewhere around 55 minutes.

Btw, every episode this season except for New Eden has been equal to or longer than the longest episode of Season 1.

...Why is it "Hugh" rather than "Culber"? (Much less "Dr. Culber"!)

Come to think of it, why was it always "Geordi" rather than "LaForge" in TNG blurbs? Is this some sort of a racial thing? (But isn't it always "Burnham" rather than "Michael"? You know, just as with "Tilly" rather than "Sylvia"?)

Inquiring/ignorant minds want to learn.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but maybe he's not a Doctor again yet since this is technically not the same Culber, but a mycelial copy.

I wish they'd hurry up and find Spock and get on with it IMO.

Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah THUNDER!
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah THUNDER!

Get pumped!

 

[Lord Garth]

The poster looks James Bond-ian!

 

[Spider]

I may skip over this episode and wait for Spock to show up next week, or whenever he does. Like the Ferengi centered episodes on DS9 I skip, this one with the Saru-ites or whatever they are is not appealing to me at all. I can't stand Saru and a whole episode full of others like him is probably something I'll never miss.

Spoiler

According to preview images released before the season began, Spock's first episode is probably #7 (next week)
