I thought I was the only one. But yes, it was a very good episode. The previous seasons of Discovery didn't really feel Trek-like at times, with many episodes missing both the "true believers" and the "to boldly go where no one has gone before". This season seems to be delivering in spades. Andromeda-meets-Voyager is a great concept, far better than what they've been doing so far imho. I hope they remain lost in the future, trying to revive the Federation for however long the show lasts and not for just a single season.

Interesting. I hadn't noticed it, but now that you mention it, it feels... fitting. Very much Trek at its best.
