You know for people who figured out how to use satellites. They are pretty damn stupid. I was kinda hoping this episode would have ended the Captain Kirk way. I think they should done a little more research before connecting these morons like in the TNG episode First Contact.

Consider the number "888." It's just a number, right? For people of The Middle Kingdom, this number has mystical properties. If you visited the land of Terra Cotta warriors, would you know that? Some things in a civilization/culture/tribe can't be found unless you know what to look for, short of talking with a local. As for this first contact tale, it has the look and feel of cross cultural questions and conflicts on present day Terra.

You're referring to the wrong episode. That was season 2, episode 2, "Primal Urges."

Meanwhile, in reference to the actual episode"The World is a Birthday Cake"...
Their "solution" was clever in its own way, but it seems to me it would have been even better to remind those people that those "star signs" they're seeing are of objects maybe hundreds of light-years away. Which means they aren't seeing where those things ARE, but where they WERE. So their whole "Schedule" is cockeyed.
Especially by putting the "solar sail" so close that the "aliens" would be able to figure out what really happened, it was only a temporary solution. Maybe enough to get their own people out, but once the truth was discovered, they could go right back to how they were before. My solution, on the other hand, would be permanent.

Also, this episode seemed like a rehash of "Mad Idolatry" from season 1.
"Primitive cultures have ridiculous superstitions," blah blah blah.

Heck, I'd take "Birthday Cake" Oreos ahead of a vampire.
