I wasn't sold on the new Kirk but I really liked him in this episode Didn't care for La’an either but enjoyed her this episode.


I am still not completely sold on new Kirk, but I did like this episode’s version of him. I think it was because he had an excuse to not be as much like Kirk. I don’t think it can carry over to regular timeline without changing Kirk being Kirk.

I was already sold on La’an (liked actress in limited appearances on Line of Duty, Dr Who, and some others before this show) and liked her in this episode up until the crying at the end. That crying face and the crying was kind of bad. I thought she was a better #1 than #1 and would be a better #1 full time on the show, but that crying makes think maybe it’s time for Spock.

Episode was good. It would be better if something from episode actually ends up carrying over into other storylines this season (outside of changing Kirk). Did the engineer lady acknowledge in someway seeing her in the past?

I am kind of tired of time travel in Star Trek and hope that’s it for this season.

There's apparently an episode this season where Mariner and Boimler from Lower Decks show up, so there's at least one more time travel episode.

I think they're trying to humanize her, and when you consider she never had anything close to a romantic partner due to all the things involved in her childhood and then her tenure at the academy, to get a fleeting moment of it only for the person to die in your arms?

As far as the acting of the crying, I guess I didn't see a problem with it? I've seen the way a lot of people have cried at things like funerals and the like - some people just look like that when they do.
