I went in to this show expecting not to like it, that it was just going to make fun of something I loved for mass market appeal. I've never been so happy to be so wrong. This whole show is a love letter to Trek. I'm sad that it's leaving but also really glad that it ended up being worth watching.
I wish I had something more to add to this. I saw this when you posted and thought surely someone more creatively minded than I would chime in. Just want to say thanks for taking the time to write this up, it makes you think about how many other one off deux ex machina type races that Star Trek likes to throw out there. The Organians, Talosians, whatever they decided Trelane is, the Douwd, the list goes on and on. It's quite fortunate for the rest of civilization that these omniscient beings seem to stick to themselves.
