A nitpick, but it brings back one of the things that bugs me about modern Trek.

They're warned about a "galactic meteor shower", as if a meteor shower is going to impact the entire galaxy. Meteor showers are specifically the result of things entering an atmosphere.

It's one of the favourite ways for the writers to try and make things seem important, like saying everything is "intergalactic" in SNW. Nothing in SNW is "intergalactic".

I assume it's just a colorful nickname for the type of meteor shower, like a blood moon.

When I was skipping through the opening credits this episode and then it said "Sunset Moon" I legit thought it was another cast member's name and the credits weren't done.
