It is definitely CBS that is making Star Trek Discovery.I really liked the last episode. It was more of a stand-alone episode, except they still allowed character development to hapen, and it showed how well the whole crew can work together.It was a bit ... darker than most time loop stories I've seen (In the TNG episode, both ships explode, but there is no one that tries to get anyone killed in the episode), maybe a bit closer to 12:01 (a little known movie I think) then Groundhog Day. The end for Mudd kinda ties into what we know about him from his TOS appearances, it was maybe uncharacteristically "friendly" for what he did and what he knows now. (Headcanon/Fanwank: I think the crew might have needed to get rid of him quickly without the risk of triggering any surprises Mudd could have left behind, since had control of the ship computer basically. Very convenient that Stella's Dad was so close by, though.)I think in the final iteration of the loop, no one actually died, so that means, the whole encounter was basically harmless to the crew. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />And the guy playing Harry Mudd is really doing a fine job.Also, another space animal added to Star Trek. Very nice.Lorca called it a fish, but considering Saru's comment about its (lack of) mating habits, isn't it more a Space Panda?</blockquote>
