I enjoyed this episode immensely and was on the edge of my seat for most of it. I thought Burnham’s plan to fool the Breen was pretty ingenious.
I’ve also found my new favorite place in the Trek universe. Imagine getting to explore that library.
I found it unexpectedly upsetting when the shelving was taking hits from the Breen.
You should watch this week’s Ready Room.
It is a real place you could explore!
If I ever make it up to Canada (and it is open to the public!) I will absolutely. I looked up photos and while it is obviously much smaller, it is a very beautiful library.
The Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library doesn’t seem open to the public all the time, but it does have events it seems.

Also it has participated in Doors Open Ontario which is an annual event for a few days in May, when many publicly funded or non-profit buildings that usually have restricted admittance, are open for viewing.
