I think the Doctor Who reference was more in the writing than anything else, in the sense that it really pushed the suspension of disbelief where no-one has gone before. It was kinda weird for Star Trek, but i’m also a whovian, so I accepted that. The dream sequence was cute, and i thought the overall rhythm of the episode was okay. Still, it would have made a lot of sense if Batel travelled into the past to fight the Vezda and become the Beholder in the past.
Batel regenerated into the statue. Including glowy regeneration energy hands.
She’s the Doctor and the statue is a portal to another universe, on the other side of which Tecteun finds her. And then, MUCH later, she comes back to spend time with Pelia. That was her in the Tardis in The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail, trying to watch over Pike.
