What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

Yeah, I found the Sharlayan scientist to be way too knowledgeable about Ancients and ridiculously excited about everything, there's something going on here, I'm thinking he's a reincarnation of Eric.

Me too. They have the same eyes.

As to the Azem thing, given what we know of Azem it's entirely possible Themis was just like "Yep, that's Azem again"

Though there's a wild theory out there called the Infinite Azem theory where we managed to become a fully rejoined Azem and go back into the past to become our own Azem, lol.

I think Azem just either has true future sight or somehow we're all connected so they can get flashes or senses or whatever about their different future shards. Hopefully this isn't just a throwaway point and will get some further exposition down the line.

Azem just keeps bullshitting Themis on every mission they do together and this is the one single time it came true by complete happenstance, poor Themis

I love him but you can definitely say that Themis is very impressionable, especially with those he looks up to.
