Not a big fan of this episode, I feel that you don’t have the time to develop a friendship between two enemy sworn races, you shouldn’t try to do it.

If you are into Metrons and super powerful entities, just go all the way in, and make time go slower, like the Picard-Flute episode, you can’t have two women playing Heroscape and Chess in two days and being friends forever. Too close to Enemy of Mine, a movie I love, and this fell a bit short.

Yeah, I was wondering if the gorn was gonna be pregnant, called Zammis the newborn, and if Ortegas will have to go to the Gorn home world to recite the Jeriba lineage :P

“Four-and-a-Half-Vulcans” ready to beam up xD

the intro with the Pike monotonous/vulcan voice was fun also.

Too much docudrama for my taste, I really enjoyed Uhura and how she sees trough Beto.

The ending was emotive, and that for me was the best part, people are in Starfleet, they have their reasons, but the main one is that the like the Federation and they fight to preserve it, even die if needed.

I can’t be the only one with goosebumps when they say to Kirk that now he was now the captain? He looked at the chair with a little fear. That was good

that is my only concern as well, in a 10 episode season if already 2 has been on the “frivolous side” there’s not much left for actual scifi-exploration stuff.

In the other tv series you had 24 episodes each season, you can go around on 2 or 3 episodes each season with silly stuff that was welcome to change the tone from the more serious episodes, here I’m worried. I liked the episode thou, so I’m complaining, but I liked it.

Uhura speech it was very meta and was really emotional, it was a speech straight from a ST fan, nice writing and performing there Edit: bloopers were hilarious, and with Frakes directing the blooper of “Kirk” doing the Riker manouver was so funny

Best thing in the ep is the slap on Spocks face by nurse Chapel.

She tooks impulse to execute, very solid slap.

This season the relation between Chapel and Spock has taken a 180, and was so sudden and so bad executed that Im not enjoying this season as much for now
