If you're curious, Memento mori is a Latin phrase meaning: "remember you will die." You see the expression in the bible, Sirach 7:40 "In all thy works remember thy last end, and thou shalt never sin." Both have meaning in the episode.
Star Trek Strange New World is catching the world on fire if you haven't heard yet. Episode 4, Memento Mori, is an ensemble episode, including a good bit of time for my personal favorite: Bruce Horak as Hemmer, the blind passivist Andorian engineer.
This episode introduces everybody's favorite carnivorous aliens; the Gorn and La'an Noonien-Singh has a personal history with them. Ethan Peck as Spock shines in this episode, and there seems to be some effort to tie up what some fans consider loose ends in the Spock-Michael Burnham story.
If you don't have Paramount Plus yet, between Strange New Worlds and The Offer, it really is worth the seven bucks a month (with Amazon Prime).
