I'm a little disappointed whatever was going on wasn't explained with some kind of technobabble at the end. That doesn't seem very Star Trekkie to me.
Yeah, in the last few minutes of the episode, I kept thinking how in TNG they would have discovered it was an anaphasic lifeform or some kind of telepathic residue or something, and here we don't get any explanation. Maybe they're trying to spin off Section 12 as some kind of "X-Files in space".
Yeah my immediate thought was oh we're getting a Division 12 spinoff set up. Would be hilarious if it was like X-files but through a Lower Decks lens though. "Yeah yeah yeah temporal wars the Xindi will rule the galaxy. Go to processing C-15."
I suppose it may also be part of this season's overarching storyline. Perhaps it'll be revealed in a later episode.
Every character who "died" isn't on the NCC-1701 by the time Kirk is in command in TOS episode 2. Noonien-Singh is still such a rivaled name 70 years later that Data has to be created on some remote outpost. Not to say La'an is the reason for that, but it almost certainly will be a season arc.
