A personal aside, for whatever reason the episode was show without commercials tonight for me even though I don't pay for the commercial-free plan.

And Spock's shuttle disappeared in the... Mutara sector? That's a region of space that will become important to Spock's history in the future.

I'm also worried that the Talosians will lack the cool pulsing veins. This show needs some big, veiny, throbbing Talosian heads.

Yeah, they should seriously have those. This is one of the things CGI and improved make-up technology would be perfect for.
 
The coordinates for Talos IV are from Memory-Beta, but I'm not sure where they got them from, the paragraph has 4 sources. The page hasn't been edited since 2017.

https://memory-beta.fandom.com/wiki/Talos_IV

Talos IV, known as Clesik to its native Talosian civilization, was a planet located in the space of the galaxy's Alpha Quadrant, in orbit of the Talos star group, at coordinates 7.49S 1.48E. (TOS episode: "The Cage", FASA RPG module: The Federation; ST references: The Worlds of the Federation, Star Trek Star Charts)

Gave it a six. A bit of a weak one.

The Tyler/Pike conflict felt a bit underdeveloped.

Eschaton was right, we still haven't met Spock yet.

Sarek is a shitty dad. TNG's Unification kinda cemented this idea, and this episode puts a waterproof coating on that idea.

Section 31 are the keystone cops of the future: they have a lockdown but leave the shuttlebay doors open.

The temporal mechanics in this episode are similar to the ones from "We'll always have Paris", one of the weakest episodes dealing with time travel/temporal distortions: Which one's the real Data? They're all the real Data! But this one is the realist Data, so we'll let him do the thing to fix time.

I hope Airiam starts sounding like Corey Buton.

The Talosians: And you thought you hated the new Klingons.

That aside, let's hope next week is much better.

Hopefully they look better in the episode, but the trailer makes their heads look like walnut shells, especially with that big line down the middle.
