No Q. Something else. I can already guess where it's going, but most of the people isn't going to like it, because it's going to be as main-stream breaking as the spore-drive. Captain Pike said: "I have to take it a faith that a starship can cross the universe in a matter of moments, while on mushrooms."
There's a lot of things that you'll have to take to faith if you're going to believe this storyline. Although I suspect, it's far more harder to believe in Cameron Engineers seeding the life on earth, it is exactly the same thing. It's just he didn't had angels.
You could argue that this going to be resembling a story from Babylon 5, it's not going to be the same thing as they showed very clearly that they're breaking the boundaries and they're not afraid of stepping on some toes.
Thing is, angels, demons, lost civilisations, new-homeworld ... they are all very old stories. Some goes back over 60 000 years. So is the story of the moon, as the human civilisation has recorded that it wasn't there always. It's just, we know today, that it was. Look at the science headlines.
So, where did the story came from? Regardless of the answer, the donut maneuver replicated the conditions of an early solar system, and possibly gave the New Eden a new moon without ST or the Discovery crew addressing it. In other words, they acted like a god more ways than one.
Everything in this episode was marvellously layered together. In other words, it was perfect. 5-stars.
