    Checking off two sci-fi bingo boxes with the classic “airplane race with an alien you just met” and “computer gone rogue” in the same half hour! Quite clever and brave of Zero to take the pointy AI out like that.

    By the way, did Gwyn refer to Zero as a he in the log? If true, it wouldn’t be the first time a character’s pronouns have changed after you met them. Just like real life - I like that.

    P.S. Is this the first time in Star Trek we hear a log in voiceover that also includes someone else’s voice?

      I had the chance to keep an ear out for this as I watched, and I think the line is, “I think Zee’s safe with us until we do.” They’ve used the nickname a handful of times through the season so far, but it’s susceptible to unclear pronounciation.

      I don’t have an answer to your pronoun question, but hearing somebody else’s voice in the log jumped out at me as well. If it has happened before, it is pretty rare.
