    Dr. Erin is canon!

    Well, canon-er, since she got a brief name drop in a Lower Decks episode.

    I was briefly concerned that they were treating time travel and quantum realities as the same thing, but I’m glad they addressed them separately in Chapter 15.

    With how often Star Trek is inclusive and showing some work/research, I’m a little surprised to see the show mispronounce Sacagawea. Then again, there is at least the excuse that an Andorian is saying the word.

    That scene with robots trying to get into the Infinity is basically copy-pasted from The Matrix (a homage, whatever you want to call it). Even the weird electrical pylons on the Infinity look like Nebuchadnezzar and other ships in The Matrix.
