The effect on the screen at the end whispered "Borg" in my ears, am I the only one? Could this be an origin story for them?
The planet they were visiting was Vadia IX, which "Trelane" referred to as "the old homeworld" in episode two, so I'm thinking it's an origin story for something else...
Do you think they are going for a Trelane version of the Pah-wraith? I like the episode overall but it did feel a little like the script came from a D&D session.
It seems like something along those lines. I wonder if it's something they plan to circle back to, or if they're going to leave those toys on the shelf for someone to play with in the future.
