Trivia
The title of this episode comes from the proverbial expression, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." It is a proverbial expression that dates from the early 19th century, although versions of it existed well before then. An expanded paraphrase by Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900): "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness." [02.17.2020] See more »Quotes

A lot was explained in this episode. The series has definitely proven itself as exceptional sci fi, and I look forward to a long life and many years ahead with it.
Unfortunately, too many critics and faux sci fi aficionados are too dumb to get the better books, movies, and series, expecting only lasers and space explosions for their attention...
