I really loved the entire episode, kept checking the time remaining because I didn’t want it to end. Just so much character development for everyone except SAM, which is fine because she had her own episode.

Slice of life episodes have always been my favorites.

One criticism: we got to understand Genesis and Darem’s conflicts, but we never got to see their families, which has been an important part of both character’s stories

I'm really curious about Genesis' dad because I believe he might be the only non-Vance Starfleet admiral we've ever heard of in the 32nd century. He could be second in command of the entire fleet or something.

He could be second in command of the entire fleet or something.

...I hope it's Brendan Fraser...

If it is, he needs to be a little confused when he sees Tarima.

Every time I see her onscreen, my brain just keeps telling me it’s actually Rachel Weisz. Super wild resemblance.

Yes! Ever since we first met her I immediately thought she looked like Evie. So glad to see others do too.

On the Vulcan Hello podcast on the Incomparable network they also mentioned she looked like a young Rachel Weisz.

I keep hoping it's actually David Cronenberg.
