Excellent review.

Thank you!

It almost makes me want to go back to rewatch this episode, but I've mostly sworn off Voyager. Perhaps I shall anyway.

It really works as a standalone—it didn't hurt that I recognized the main cast, but I don't think it was necessary. In that respect it almost reminded me more of a Twilight Zone, which is not a point against.

It's a marvelous place and a far better legacy than the atomic bomb.

Frank is more of the mirror for me, but I have been to the Exploratorium and it's true.

One footnote from a Japanese history PhD: minutes from the meeting of the imperial cabinet on the morning of 9 August 1945 show that the Soviet invasion of Manchuria, which had kicked off earlier that day at local midnight, was the impetus for the government deciding to surrender.

Thank you. I was following Wellerstein, who takes the Soviet invasion as a powerful factor, but not the deciding one.

Apologies if I have asked before, but what was/is your field of study?
