    Gotta hand it to them. They sure know how to keep back-to-back interesting cliffhangers for their episodes. This show would’ve been so tense as a weekly release.

    Wow, Wheaton was really great in this. His manic, impulsive Wesley Crusher is a lot more interesting than the more serene version we’ve gotten since…always, really.

    They’re really leaning in to the Doctor Who of it all, not just with Wesley, but also with the Loom, which seem ripped straight out of Father’s Day.

    It’s nice of the Starfleet of this era to not only put security officers back into red shirts, but making them brighter than those of the command officers to make them easier targets.

    I’m not sure exactly what I thought was going to be behind the mid 20th century vault door, but it certainly wasn’t Wesley Crusher. I didn’t hate it either. Was the sweater that he was wearing one that he wore in TNG? It seemed very familiar.

    The Loom are terrifying. We’ve seen “getting erased completely from history” before with the Krenim time weapon (VOY: Year of Hell), but this version seemed so much worse to me.

    I loved the bit regarding all the separate realities, including the “oops you aren’t supposed to know that” regarding the mycelial plane.

    Seeing Janeway take on the Loom by herself in a shuttle reminded me of her taking on the macrovirus in VOY: Macrocosm.
