Crosspost of what I mentioned on Reddit:

Was this a sly deep cut prequel to ‘Wolf in the Fold’ ?

Given that both episodes cover the same terrain dealing with “monstrous, terrible evil” and " immortal, non-corporeal entities" possessing people?

‘Wolf In The Fold’ also ended with the entity jumping and taking over the ship.

(‘Wolf in the Fold’ in the fold was written by Robert Bloch who also wrote ‘What Are Little Girls Made Of?’, the episode that introduced Korby and Chapel)

Is that also the first 32nd Century Klingon we’ve seen?

‘Space Babies’ was a classic RTD dumpster fire. It felt like a first draft and the exposition dump at the beginning was very badly done. The script editor should have pushed back hard on this one.

‘The Devil’s Chord’ was better although hamstrung by the fact that they couldn’t afford the rights to any Beatles music.

Ncuti and Millie have quickly established themselves and I’m looking forward to seeing what the rest of the season brings.

I think ‘The Devil in the Dark’ from the Original Series would be a good option. As would “Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach” from Strange New Worlds.
