Other than my obvious dislike for Hemmer's demise, I thought this one was fun. I liked the obvious Alien "homage / borrowing", as well as the breakfast scene with Pike saying, "Don't make me turn this car around."
Now, I know we've discussed this earlier in the thread and I know that Scotty isn't supposed to be onboard for a while, but there's a new job opening ( :mad1: ) and could they find a way to make this fit with canon (or just totally disregard it) either next episode or next season?
