Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The failure of the Computer in 'Violations' (due to Ullian tech interference) and in 'Conundrum' (due to unknown causes) serves as a thematic parallel, emphasizing the fragility of the ship's systems and the crew's dependence on them. In both cases, the crew must adapt to a 'lower-tech' operating environment, albeit for different reasons.
