What was up with the clips from The Cage at the beginning of the episode? I know they wanted to connect this episode with The Cage but that montage of clips with the funny editing was a bizarre way of doing it.

To those who probably haven't seen The Cage, or haven't seen it in a long time, those clips were helpful. This was a sequel to that episode.
 
Hmmmnnn....

It would be really weird if They explain that the Original Series is NOT how things should have looked.

That TOS is an off-shoot time line, that never was supposed to happen the way we saw it.
:wtf:

I don’t think they would have done that previously on segment if that were the case.

Awesome. I loved how much Burnham's insults paralleled Kirk's insults in 'This Side of Paradise'. No wonder that pissed him off so much in spite of plant spores and Vulcan logic.
I just said the same thing in another thread!

Also, it's interesting to note that this is basically the same way nuKirk got to nuSpock in ST'09. To deny that he is capable of love.

KIRK: What is it like not to feel anger or heartbreak or the need to stop at nothing to avenge the death of the woman who gave birth to you?
SPOCK: Back away from me...
KIRK: You feel nothing! It must not even compute for you! You never loved her!
 
that was a huge missed opportunity on two fronts: the talosians didn’t exactly feel like an organic or even worthwhile inclusion in the story, and burnham’s name calling wasn’t as revolutionary or emotional as the writers wanted it to be. i almost wish the old theory that burnham and spock were romantically involved proved to be correct, at least that would’ve had some weight to it.

the most substance the episode had was the scenes involving pike and vina, but those were brief.

i don’t usually get too bothered by direction, but this week’s distorted lenses, dutch angles, and lighting flares really took me out of the episode. what happened to the crisp, clear direction of earlier in the season?

What you read was an illusion.
