So, as someone who is watching the entirety of DS9 for the first time… Spoilers? Lol. But actually, that made me appreciate the episode more.

I really like how this series evolves. The last three episodes were all really good. This DS9 homage felt great in a franchise which is very much TOS/TNG focused.

I did not quite get the “Thank you, Avery” in the end and had to check whether Brooks died? Is it because he retired?
