Maybe the Fissures are playing havoc with the space time continuum. I was also thinking of Yesterday's Enterprise and the whole Sela thing. I hope the reveal is good but this season needs a little kick in the pants in the final 3 episodes.

That is an easy 10.
Purple Enterprise battling clones of Tasha Yar. Mariner wonders if the carpet matches the hull. Tendi worries she cannot compete with T'lyn's huge melons. Spiner's return as purple Data's head.
Blink of an Eye, Inner Light, Carbon Creek, Time's Arrow, and Hard Time all referenced.
Best of the season, easy.

I see no reason to assume othewise.
For fans it was a massive incongruity. For the crew of the Cerritos it was Tuesday.
Yeah, I could also have done without the constant slobbering all over the console. They should have been able to clean it instantly, just tell the computer to beam away all of the slime!
Oh, and T'Lyn is hilarious. Just gonna put that out there.
I don't think the transporter is precise or energy-efficient enough to be used for such granular tasks.
But who hasn't experienced a spill at work before and quickly found something to sweep it up with?
The thing is, nobody was acting like the purple Enterprise came from a universe where it was the 2360’s rather than the 2380’s.
Maybe the crew is just jaded by fissure duty it wasn't worth mentioning. We enter the episode post clean up. So, "any oh wow it's like the 2360s over there" happened earlier.
Bingo. It is a Space Time Anomaly. And things could be different there, in addition to purple, it IS a different universe, for crying out loud.
While it is a worthwhile observation, I don't see anything there that is incongruous, necessarily.
I would actually prefer that to be the case, since it is a bit unbelievable that everyone would still be serving together on the purple Ent-D by 2382 with no promotions. Of course, it's equally unbelievable that the crew continued to serve together on the Enterprise-E for the amount of time they did.
If they could do that then they could just tell the computer to beam up the Away Team. The problem appears to be that with all touch inputs activated at once the transporter control system is overloaded, preventing any beaming. They theoretically could have run to another transporter room but they probably initially assumed (in a panic) that it would take less time to clean the console than get to another room and reestablish the lock from there.
And also shorting out the voice interface, apparently.
Or they just didn't think of voice interface. The whole thing could be a meta reference to all the times in the live action shows when a blatantly obvious solution isn't brought up because then the episode wouldn't happen.
I've found most of this season disappointingly forgettable, maybe partly because I had the expectation they'd step things up a bit since it's the last one. This was very good though! A lot funnier than the previous six and Purple Data was delightful. More T'Lyn is always welcome too.
More like a Bloody Mary
There was a food slot in Kirk's Enterprise transporter room. Now there is no food or drink in the transporter room?
Nobody's mentioned the nod to "City on the Edge of Forever" with Tendi's version of stone knives and bearskins crystal Radio Shack set used to power Sara's head.
Sara? Autocorrect?
The fate of Ensign Sito from "Lower Decks" the TNG episode is still available as low hanging fruit, and Mariner did know her from the Academy.
Yeah that one took the episode down a point for me.
I'm just glad the show has had three good to great episodes in a row. Much better chance of closing strong.

I'm not good at ID-ing Alcoholic Beverages.
So I'll take your word for it.
It's a good policy given the blunder that we saw here.
Don't you mean Data?
Actually, just found out from listen to Mission Log podcast that these are real drinks!

I thought they were made up Star Trek drinks for when people on the Dos Cerriotis went on Away Missions.
D'oh! Yes. Thank you.
