Enjoyed this very much, the tone was very creepy. Reminded me of the psychological horror episodes only TNG really did.

I would link it back to psychological mystery of The Cage and further to its touchstone, the MGM 50s classic Forbidden Planet.

Rigel 7 is literally a callback to The Cage
-
Yes, it’s a direct plot reference to the backstory for The Cage.
I was responding to the comment that it’s like TNG psychological episodes, when I see it as in the tradition of Forbidden Planet where an unknown technology or phenomenon is changing brain function so that subconscious or deep behaviours are revealed. #
