I liked that the Collectors' Guild museum had the recorder marker from the S.S. Valiant circa 2065 and the second TOS pilot. Either the Valiant's or a similar late 21st century Earth recorder marker.
the shuttle running from the Cube in that trailer appears to be the same design as the one they used in this episode so maybe.I had assumed that the Borg Boimler was a dream or Holodeck sequence... but now I'm wondering if William Boimler is going to wind up assimilated.
"Love instructors?" Ugh. Some things are best left in the past.![]()
Or like how Hoshi was recruited onto Enterprise while teaching a language class in Brazil, maybe the love instructor can be recruited to Discovery in the middle of his outdoor class in the park.
Then every week, James the Love Instructor can offer lovemaking alternatives to the current dilemma in the briefing room.
I...Correct. As I proposed four years ago, love instructors should have been a necessary part of the Discovery crew:
I don't believe it has ever been explained. The TMP Novelization by Gene says Kirk's first name was after his uncle and his mother's first 'love instructor'.Love instructors. Can anybody give an explanation for what that means beyond being an escort service?
There isn't an explanation.Love instructors. Can anybody give an explanation for what that means beyond being an escort service?

I love that Mariner finally got taken down a peg. The ego was just all over the place in the first season, and she never learned anything. It was all "I'm just such a great officer but I don't know what I want," but now it's "I've been going blindly into things heedless of the consequences, why not show some humility and ask someone else for an idea?"I liked this one a lot.
My biggest criticisms of the episode would've been Mariner's characterization and the badass Titan officers who thought the E-D was lame... but those were actually addressed in the episode itself.
Poor giant clone Spock. We hardly knew you.

One of my big takes from the episode was repeated digs at Disco.
What Boilmer said at the end about the Titan being just one heavily serialised adventure with unexpected twists.I didn't get that at all.....but I wasn't looking for digs at Discovery.......guess I'll look more upon rewatch.
Well if it's Kirks father's brother then it's not as bad as what you would assume when you first hear it...His uncle was his mother's first love instructor?
I'm glad they dropped that one and went with the second name choice instead.

I even thought the plot about Mariner always wanting to take centre stage was a dig at DiscoWhat Boilmer said at the end about the Titan being just one heavily serialised adventure with unexpected twists.
It's hard to put into words.Love instructors. Can anybody give an explanation for what that means beyond being an escort service?
Surely it's a copy of Thomas Riker.That was a good episode.
I was sure they'd find some excuse to just demote Boimler back to the regular cast, I'm glad they did the transporter duplicate thing instead. Even if it is kind of a copy of "Space Beth".
I also liked the way the writers were basically saying through the characters "There's room for both dark serial stuff and light exploration stuff in Trek".
