    I just want to know what Paramount executive OK’d this episode but didn’t then immediately begin production on moopsy-related items to purchase. I need a moopsy plush!

      The same idiot that didn’t immediately greenlight Strange New Worlds. Also happens to be the same idiot staring at Star Trek: Legacy and deciding whether or not to greenlight it.

          Disney are masters at marketing. CBS/Paramount have no clue what they’re doing.

          In other words, when it comes to marketing (and a considerable number of other decisions) Disney are the Romulans. Don’t always make the right decision, and they definitely don’t make friends, but they’re effective and insidious.

          CBS/Paramount might as well be Pakleds. Effectively braindead and somehow stumbling through just enough success to keep themselves alive.
