A note about episode discussions on startrek.website
Right now, the plan is to post the /c/startrek discussion when the episode drops on Thursdays. Once the global community has had some time to watch and digest what they’ve seen, the /c/daystrominstitute discussion will go live on Sundays for a more in-depth analysis. This is subject to change as we evaluate what works best for the community as a whole.

Pelia being around in the 22nd century also brings up the opportunity for references to ENT in SNW.
I also keep wondering about

the El Aurians and Q in regard to this new race. If they’ve been there through a long stretch (at least?) of human history, some of these individuals must’ve encountered others at some point.
We could get all manner of fun new backstory bits this way.
