Of course they did! They even dropped a line about bunnies. I saw what you did!

totally. I also loved the nod to Hitchhiker's guide with the improbability vortex or w/e it was.

When Uhuru said, "I've got a theory," I was hoping it would involve bunnies.

You could def see the inspiration of OMWF and while it didn't quite achieve that level of greatness, I still REALLY enjoyed the episode.

I esp liked La'an solo.

Uhura remains fabulous and I love that they were inspired by her in this episode. SNW is so good to her, and I love it.

Overall I enjoyed this episode and it brought me a lot of joy. I don't think any of the songs are iconic/hit the way OMWF hit, but at the same time they auto-tuned the cast better and so I'll never be haunted by an off note like I was with SMG and walking through the Fi-er...

Overall it's it wasn't one of the top episodes of the season for me, but I was really pleased they made real progress on at least two storylines through it, and the show is so great!

I liked the songs! But definitely they autotuned them, you're right.

I wish Nichelle Nicholls was still alive and could have seen this episode, and how integral Uhura is to the story and the crew.
