Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe reference to Gary Mitchell early in the episode is a callback to the "Where No Man Has Gone Before" episode (S1E3) of Star Trek: The Original Series (1966). In it Lt. Commander Gary Mitchell was exposed to "strange energies" at the edge of the galaxy and given godlike powers.
- GoofsAfter Ransom's "strange energies" are purged and all of the changes he made are reverted, his uniform is still intact. His uniform had been damaged in the blast that gave him those powers; he then used his newfound godlike abilities to repair it. If all the alterations he made were undone, the uniform should have once again been tattered.

If you hate the show...
For some of the negative comments, if you hate the show so much, why are you still watching? This is the 2nd season, not the 2nd episode. And it's not supposed to be like any of the other Star Trek series. It's an irreverent, satirical version. It's the franchise poking fun at itself. They could have deeper moments and character development along with the silliness, but at this point they've pretty much established they aren't going to. They made a choice for it not to be that kind of show. It's mostly campy, stupid, over the top humor, with a few awww moments, and that's it. It's basically Star Trek meets Looney Toons or The Three Stooges. And a guy getting kicked in the balls is a long time trope of the genre, for which the target audience is usually guys. If you don't like that sort of thing, you don't have to watch it. Admittedly, I like the show Final Space more because it did combine the silly, slap stick humor with dramatic, heart wrenching moments and complex characters, but this show is ok for what it is. It's mindless entertainment, good for when you want something light to bring a smile or a laugh, and for long time fans, a touch of nostalgia.
