I don't want a new timeline, so my theory is that this episode shows Pike the catastrophic alternate future that occurs if he doesn't fulfil his fate, so he must decide to sacrifice both himself and that doomed cadet to avoid this and restore the normal timeline. I'm clutching at straws I know.
An alternate future episode, a ‘what if Pike was there instead of Kirk’ version of ‘Balance of Terror’? I think this is the incident where Pike gets injured… it’s a flash forward episode to his ‘accident’? I dunno… no Q around to put any sense to this idea.
Who needs Q when you have time crystals?
I wonder if the Jim Kirk who shows up is from this possible future? Older, captain's stripes and commanding his own ship.
In the sneak peak Number One asks the captain "what are you going to do?" (about his unfortunate vision of the future) and he replies "I have to do something, don't I?" I reckon he will go back to Boreth and beg the monks to undo it, so they show him what happens if that future doesn't happen.

Time crystals are a random and convenient plot device, they have no over arching significance to Star Trek chronology, technology, character development or law thus far… unless they are actually ‘tears/orbs of the prophets’ as encountered by the Bajoran’s? A sufficiently sophisticated species would regard such ‘magical’ things in a more scientifically grounded context rather than the spiritual and religious basis of ancient Bajoran texts?

They are not there yet, so it's magic. That's OK.
Sure they do. They're just a made up thing to make stuff happen just like all the rest. None of this stuff has "significance" until it does.Time crystals are a random and convenient plot device, they have no over arching significance to Star Trek chronology, technology, character development or law thus far… unless they are actually ‘tears/orbs of the prophets’ as encountered by the Bajoran’s?

You are making time crystals too political.
That's why I don't vote for them.
This would be insane in a good way.
It might also explain Captain Kirk wearing a different badge if he does appear in the season finale
*rolls eyes*
Why are the Metrons testing me in this manner?????
I can’t wait to find out what this major spoiler is on Monday when the press photographs are released. I wonder who or what the original series cameo is going to be?
Three words: James T. Kirk. I betcha anything Kirk is in command of the Farragut and has to go back in time striving to put right what once went wrong. (Granted I'm mixing my Quantum Leap and Star Treks together as well as Starfleet captains).
Or maybe Shatner has been cast as Pike’s barber as rumoured?
Tbh, that's a show I'd keep watching
But i also wouldn't mind if this becomes a TOS remake too, it's so damn good!A friend had an interesting theory for Episode 10.
It's a test by some greater power (Organians?) to show that Pike can't avoid his fate. He will get injured at some point in this episode (not for real) to show that even if he prevents the accident on the cadet ship, he will still get injured horribly protecting people some other time.

Spotted what might be a new Romulan design on the far right. Also the Romulans are using beams, not pulses. Though they seem to be firing them in short bursts.
The BoPs also seem to be based off the Picard redesign. At the very least the Bussards are the same, a ring of green lights with a big light in the middle
Ortegas, Spock and Uhura have all been promoted.
