Discovery tossed the portal into the event horizon the same way Riker threw an asteroid at the Shrike

The portal interiors sure had a Spy Kids 3-D vibe about them.

Did anyone else catch the Star Trek (2009) musical cues in this episode?

I guess this is a hot take.

• Wrath of Khan - Here it comes.
• The Search for Spock - Your planet, welcome!
• The Voyage Home - Gracie’s pregnant.
• Star Trek 2009 - Tiberius? No that’s the worst.
• The Undiscovered Country - What IS it with you?
• First Contact - It’s a primitive culture!
• Generations - It won’t be installed until Tuesday.
• The Final Frontier - Not in front of the Klingons!
• Beyond - We are not equipped for this method of combat
• Into Darkness - Gorn C-section, those bastards bite!
• The Motion Picture - Still puts me to sleep
• Nemesis - I hated it more after the director commentary. DARK!
• Howard the Duck - Better than Insurrection
• Picard Season 2 - Still better than Insurrection
• … (other movies here, like Lilo and Stitch 2)
• Insurrection

I am right with you on Insurrection in last place. I can’t find one redeeming thing about it.

Can we just have a quick shout out to Jess Bush who is such a talented actress. Nurse Chapel experiencing RAGE was so convincing!

I hope you relish it as I do!
