A good start for the season, a serious sci-fi episode. We need more of these and less of the silly ones, I can take a funny episode now and then not all the time like on S3. I think they need to explore more about the characters relationship on the episodes, the only real interactions are the ones between Scotty and Ortega on this one.
I had some T’Lyn vibes with the new vulcan girl at the begging of the episode, not much at the end.
That was great! I thought I knew where it was going but it totally surprised both me and my wife and we were like, “Damn, that was pretty good!”
Very hyped for shore leave episode now, the crew has earned it!
So what part of this was from Jurassic Park?
I really liked that episode. This is what star trek should be. Diplomacy with Sci fi. That’s why I fell in love with Star Trek in the first place.

It seems that ther are trying to establish that you can’t chang established lore. So basically what that means, fate of Pike is sealed. They will put Pike in a wheelchair after the series.
I don’t think there was anything that showed they couldn’t change the past; Pike just made the right choice to avoid changing it. If they tried to shoot down the missile and something went wrong, that I would maybe take as a sign the past is fixed.
