I enjoyed this episode too. It was a really good, classic Star Trek episode that confronted a moral quandary - would you kill kid Hitler if given a chance? It would obviously save millions of lives but 1) at this point he is just a kid and 2) his death would prevent a terrible but necessary step in human development - in this case making Earth/The Federation a utopia that needed the Eugenics Wars to develop.

I agree. Just watched the episode last night and it was awesome. A
Classic Trek as you described. I didn’t feel like they abused the “Kirk from a different timeline” plot device.

Last two episodes of the season have been a huge turnaround from the first, and gotten this show back as the best new ST property on years.

It's this, Season 3 of Picard, and Lower Decks is admittedly a guilty pleasure.

I didn't MIND Prodigy, I just accepted it as a show for kids (though a bit darker - so older kids, obviously).

I still say Discovery had some interesting ideas in those first two seasons and then failed on the delivery - but I think the higher-ups misread what was wrong and changed the IDEAS instead of changing the EXECUTION - that and the over emphasis on a single character. Even Classic Trek didn't focus on Kirk as much as that show focused on Burnham (and I think Saru was the best character on that version personally).
