Just finished the finale. I will probably binge the whole season to get a better grasp of some of the events, but…
1) I like the Wesley/Traveller call back. Making him the leader of the Watchers actually makes some sense. I like they officially placed Gary Seven in this organization earlier in the season. Continuity is good. They should have also had him visit the FBI agent. That would have closed a minor hole as well (the actor played a Federation Time Agent in a Voyager episode).
2) I still can’t stand Allison Pill. I don’t know if it was a helmet she was wearing, or if it was makeup or just SFX, but she looked extra horrible in this episode.
3) Big swerve for Q. I will hold my judgement on that until I watch the season again. It doesn’t make sense as it sits now.
4) Why did Tallin have to die? Did she not know that Soong was going to poison her?
5) WTF was that Khan file all about? The Supermen Revolution took place in the 1990s. He fled Earth with his followers in (I think) 1996. But Soong is going to begin the process of creating the Super Men starting in 2024? I will have to see what theories exist for that online.
6) That looked like a very small beam to have the ability to wipe out most of the Sector (“This Sector” includes the Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta quadrants?). That is a pretty massive volume. and 2-3 dozen ships with a Borg Queen ship are big enough to block it?
7) Did I miss them reveal Tallin’s and Laris’ connection? Is Laris some kind of descendant? Is she a watcher/traveller as well?
