I hope the next Trek show has a 100 black, female lesbian cast. I can hear the screams of horror from granny's basement at the thought

Unless the numbers are not sequential.
Also, any one else like the flag officer's uniform?
Absolutely, though I'd like to know what they're based on, then.
The fun part of this series is it getting me to revisit TOS episodes. Last weeknight was Balance of Terror, this week Amok Time. And, hell. I just did a full TOS re-watch probably 18 months ago.
Perhaps certain sectors are grouped in to larger units and then numbered, so the leading number indicates the sector group then the base number.
Starbase 200 already existed in "The Alternative Factor(TOS)." So this is definitely in line with TOS tradition and continuity and that takes place just eight years later.
6. The body swap didn’t really work for me since I prefer those to be very wacky. It was a little too dull for my tastes. The best part of this was Una and La’an story. Those two are a good pairing.
Also I love Chapel. She’s funny. She doesn’t quite match the TOS version and I’m ok with that. I don’t find that version as interesting.
We definitely need more of Ortegas. Hopefully she gets an episode soon.

Don't forget he also played the original prototype for a Starfleet Captain, Horatio Hornblower.
I can't wait for the requisite court room episode.That Peck voice goes far in the filmmaking industry.
PIKE: "Spock, what are our chances of getting out of this alive?"
SPOCK: "WE'RE IN IT NOW UP TO OUR NECKS!!"
SPOCK: "WE'RE IN IT NOW UP TO OUR NECKS!!"
SPOCK AND T'PRING: Paddy Cake, Paddy Cake, Surak's Plan. Make him logical as fast as you can. Roll his eyes and roll his eyes and bend his ears. Put him in the Forge for a thousand years!
PIKE: Hey Bob! How they hanging? The nacelles? Repairs coming along okay?
M'BENGA: What do you mean, I'm part of a time-travel experiment that went a little ca-ca? And who are you, anyway? Oh my. I'm hallucinating. What the Vulcan is in this biosphere???
SPOCK: THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!
LA'AN: V'ger!!!
NUMBER ONE: Quick! We've got to get up there! It's the only way to the Master Control Program!
T'PRING: I love thee, Stonn.
SPOCK: I love thee...Jim.

Because I found the worry for the idea of Kirk being not 100% straight to be a very silly idea. I even say you can be straight and still have had attraction to or even sex with the same gender. It's like someone holding Kirk's sexuality as some sort of precious gemstone, and any minor deviation ruins it for them. I got the image of Gollum from The Lord of the Rings affectionately caressing Kirk's sexuality. What a sexuality looks like I don't know.
Right, that's what I called hostile. I have no idea why the idea that Kirk is simply straight to is so offensive.

Why is the idea that he's not (which is really much more likely, given Gene's fascination with a future full of sexual freedom) so troublesome? It's never explicitly stated one way or the other, so why insist that it must be one way when the only evidence to lean on for that is present-day sexual mores?
My take is that this episode did an incredible job adding depth to Chapel, who otherwise was a not-very-sketched-out character. I think this show, at least in this way, enriches TOS.
Like, I thought to myself: Wow, all that, and he's gonna throw that plomeek soup at her. Hits harder now!
Also think Jess Bush plays the character really well, whether or not you think she's playing the "same" character. But for me, it just makes "Amok Time" richer, which is the best you can hope for from an homage/prequel.
