I am really loving SNW. I thought the spok amok body switch was just too silly to be enjoyable but the rest of the season has been absolutely great. A welcome addition to the other great shows Picard and Discovery.

Pike is just the coolest of the cool.
 
Now that my anger is subsiding a bit....

Wow, another great episode. Can't wait to see how we finish things next week.

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?
 
I don’t know. This might be the best episode. Honestly, I’m kinda wrecked.

 
Another strong episode with a LOT of tribute paid to some classic films.

I am excited and sad for the conclusion next week. We had Discovery run right into Picard S2 and then right into SNW. Now I guess lower decks starts up again soon. It's a lovely time to be a Trek fan but the back half of the year will be sadly devoid of new content.

I think they are clearing the deck to introduce Scottie but not as Chief Engineer, yet. His brilliance would mean nothing with someone incredibly brilliant in front of him.

If I had to guess the next dynamic will be Scottie's frustration with dealing with an average at best, by the book, Chief Engineer. Complete crazy speculation, but I see no other reason to eliminate a really great character this soon.

For me he, along with La'an, were the most interesting characters they have introduced. Pike is just a watered down Kirk IMO

Oh, Agree on point one, but I disagree about Pike. He's presented as very different from Kirk. They really never developed Kirk much beyond being a renegade that would kiss anything. :hihi: They are doing a lot more character development with Pike, his principles, his interactions with the crew, and him as almost being "everyone's big brother". Also, the performance from Mount is fantastic (as always).
 
Just when I think it can't get any better, they throw this one at me!

Ok, Scottie makes an "appearance", Kirk!, and La'an getting detained (we know she has to be onboard for a certain episode or two in the future). And I'm glad for the cliffhanger, gives me assurance that there will be a season 2.

I just can't say enough good things about this episode!
 
Man that was one very solid 1st season.
"Nice little cliffhanger at the end with Una. Also, I suppose the writers have solidly closed the door on Pike avoiding his fate. "

If this same crew wants to move forward with their own continuity, I am absolutely on board.
