I just had a smile on my face throughout the entire thing. The intro and outro were such a nice touch!

Yep. There is no critiquing this episode IMO. They nailed pure cross over fun. All smiles through the whole episode!!

Frakes is, in addition to an iconic Actor, the best Trek Director of the modern age. 11/10.

My expectations for this one were high, but I’m really impressed with how well they pulled it off. Tawny Newsome and Jack Quaid did a great job of dialing their performances back just enough, and the SNW cast went just a little bit broader.

Best episode ever. 11/10, I’m still coming down off the high. Right up there with the LD DS9 ep and the last couple episodes of Picard. Peak modern Trek.

Saw this at the Comic-Con screening and it works better than I expected, especially the physical comedy. The exaggerated cartoon antics are still there, but toned down just enough to not seem out of place in live action.
