I think there are two big elements that made this episode as successful as it was:
-
Taking ongoing SNW storylines like Spock/Chapel seriously, and not using them as punchlines.
-
The unexpected delight of the Enterprise crew fanning out over the NX-01 era, holding a mirror to Boimler and Mariner.
Both of these elements were welcome, and helped keep the episode grounded.
