So I’ve seen a couple of theories trying to tie the “Space Baby” from “Tomorrow’s Enterprise” to The Prophets from DS9 or to the Progenitors. Let me start by saying that I’m perfectly fine with this episode being its own thing and not a tribute to something else in the #StarTrek universe.
Having said that, here’s my theory. I noticed that the “Midwives” who were delivering the Space Baby have a musical language. You know who else has a musical language? M’hanit, the mysterious comet from “Children of the Comet.” Or at least the temple on surface of M’hanit had a musical language. What if the superstitious space monks had a point? Maybe the Space Baby is meant to be an arbiter like the comet M’hanit which brings new life to the rest of the universe.
