Except it was triggered by Suliban working for Future Guy so...no.
Another pure gem of an episode.
La'an continues to impress as a character. Kirk is much more likable in this episode and his further appearances later in this season are welcome.
This was a fun episode, extending Picard's rewriting of the Khan timeline and making it more concrete and real. If they want to tell further stories with him...lets be real, there's bound to be a cliffhanger one season with the return of Khan, then here's the beginning of it.
This one might not reach the pantheon of the greats like last week's episode, but it furthers the fantastic track record of this show.
9/10

I do think it'd be interesting to portray Khan less like Hitler and more like Napoleon. Someone that gets a lot of respect even though he was a conquering bastard.
Seriously? You don't put a big red car and have your camera shots highlight it over your actors unless you're doing product placement. You don't mention Apple and DuckDuckGo unless you're doing product placement. The writers would've had Kirk say something like "the person at the store showed me how to search for..." or something else that didn't name specific products/brands.
Something similar happens in 11/22/1963, where no matter what Jake does in the past to change a horrible event (including the JFK assassination), the future ends up with something worse happening.
I think they do them because they're fun to do, not because they run out of ideas. I love time travel genre and the time travel eps, myself.
Predestination paradox.
Writers intent in Enterprise is that it was a direct prequel to TOS, so anything that happened in Enterprise already happened from the perspective of TOS.
They removed/hid all the logos that were on the car.
If it was product placement they would have left all the logos on it.
This. Archer's missions (save any that were classified) were in TOS Kirk's history books in school and at the Academy and if FC and ENT created an alternate timeline then it's the timeline where all the other Treks happen outside the three Kelvin films.

"And tell the Louvre to stop calling me." 
I loved it, and I love that La'an really gets to stretch her legs. I'm also very pleasantly surprised by Paul Wesley, and now I think I can see why they chose him to play Jim Kirk.
The idea itself is really fascinating, too, that monstrous events happen through history, and avoiding them doesn't necessarily change humanity for the better. That's not to be any kind of apologia towards genocide or terror, quite the contrary, but it does show that humanity unfortunately tends to learn things the hard way, and is a stubborn species that despite knowing better time and time again, still presses forward on an often destructive path.
We also get a better picture of how Star Trek's timeline comes to be, and why we don't see Khan in our own present or future. I mean, I've always joked we live in the bad timeline, but sometimes it really does seem like we live in the bad timeline. :/
That said, the ending of the episode is heartbreaking, and I just wanted to hug La'an and tell her everything was going to be okay. Such a magnificent performance from Christina Chong. Just lovely all around.
Also, spotted the Strange New Worlds sign that was blurred out when Jim and La'an were passing the bus stop earlier in the episode. At least, that's what it looked like to me.

Same. I'm sitting there thinking: "Throw in a line having him wonder if it's enough! Throw in a line where part of the reason for buying the hot dogs is to get a sense of how much the money is worth! Do something to let us know you've thought about this stuff!!"
Yes. Also: am I misremembering, or did La'an leave the handgun she took from the Romulan in Kahn's room?
Definitely. I could go on and on about all the little things that bugged me, but most of them would've have been an issue if the episode had been good overall. The very end (last 5 or so minutes) worked for me, and I think they hinted at what the writers were going for but, at least in my case, totally failed to achieve.
When The X-Files recreated my hometown for an episode they got the local police uniforms and insignia totally wrong. Fair enough. But still, it's amusing all these many years later.

Really? I could've sworn it was on there, but if you're right, then it boggles the mind why they'd do it like that.
Because it looks cool.
It looked like product placement. The opposite of cool.
