I thought this one was a perfectly enjoyable, even “classic” (whatever that means) episode - something I’d been hoping for in this season that has seemed a little too “gimmicky” at times.
I wasn’t wowed by it, but it was hitting all the right notes.
And then they got to the Metron reveal, and…I just don’t know. It serves little purpose aside from connecting dots of continuity, and I just don’t find that interesting. It’s fine, I guess, but I think the episode would have been better off without it.
It seems the Metron scene was necessary for the very vocal contingent of fans who have relentlessly expressed their outrage about the Gorn storyline not fitting in their headcanon about Arena.
