This was a really good finale. It was well paced, the stakes for the crew felt strong, and it was a great timey wimey time travel sci fi story.
Regarding the stakes, one of my criticisms of prequels was that, as fans, the future is fixed, but here it felt a lot more tense. Even though we know scotty doesn't die, I was half expecting one of the Uhuras to have to sacrifice themselves to save the other, which felt a substantial risk, and it really helped sell the episode.
CRG did great acting here, and did justice to "the same character but at different points in their life" - the confidence in future!uhura stood out.
I was very confused about the black hole / white hole's scale - I was suprised at the final act when they're basically right up against it, and the holes turn out to be roughly the same size as the enterprise itself. I think it could have been established a little better at the beginning, but that's a minor annoyance.
The midwife aliens are the same being as DS9 prophets, I guess, they spoke to Uhura in song because they would know she can interpret that, where they knew to speak to bajorans in poetry and scripture.
I liked the little preview of future!enterprise's looks, especially seeing a few background characters from different species.
Overall, great finale to an okay season. I hope the final season has loads of episodes just like this one.
Yeah, I was super confused when both the drones and Uhura disappeared into that barrier only five feet off of the ship.
It’s only an idea, but I told myself that it possibly only looks like a white and black hole on the outside as some type of self defense mechanism for the baby.
Outside of that minor(hah!) gripe, I loved this episode. Past Uhura helping future Uhura was a neat idea. I found Scotty and Uhura as a couple to be cute, and felt that Scotty’s actor portrayed his attraction to Uhura very sincerely.
I loved the TAS crew members that were present the shuttle bay while they were getting ready for the mission into the black hole.
