Don't you shipper porn?

I'm not really sure how to answer that

I forgot the word 'mean'.

Heh ... Good Answer.

It's going to be fun to see them fill out Pike's Rigel VII backstory a bit more, even though I'm sure it'll contradict Dan Abnett, Ian Edginton, and Patrick Zircher's version in Star Trek: Early Voyages #3, which has lived in my headcanon since the late 90s.

That one also showed that the Kaylar were made by the government before reforms towards peace, like the Angosian supersoldiers in TNG The Hunted, and the matte painting building is the Zemtar fortress... perhaps some of this will be canonized

I’m so glad this week’s episode didn’t leak early. Avoiding spoilers is a pain in the butt.

Ships!
Cooking!

 

[NCC-73515]

I did expect them to go back to The Cage, but this is meta

That was NEW in TNG

A Conny/Sombra and a Walker, I guess

Still watching but I feel like this would have been a better 45 minute episode. That scene with Pike and LUQ talking before they enter the palace felt like it dragged a lot longer than it should.

 

[NCC-73515]

My summary of this episode... who thought it's a good idea to fill it with ever recurring annoying ringing sounds that drag on and on
Never watching those scenes again with sound turned on

But hm, the scenery was ok, and La'an looked much better than ever.

 

[Airmandan]

Interesting episode premise. Good way to utilize the little facts from the pilot episode to make a more filling episode.

 

[Mechanoid1]

After warching this episode, I forgot that I liked SNW.

 

[Airmandan]

Now we know where Pikes quarters are on the saucer. That's gonna cause some issues.

 

[tomalak301]

This is my least favorite episode of the series. It really needed to be shorter because it was repetitive and it dragged. Also the whole memory resolution seemed too magic for my tastes. I thought last weeks episode was not up to par but this episode was extremely disappointing. Also if this is the Ortegas episode of the season Navia should walk out. She deserved better.

Same place Picard's are on the D - why is it a problem?

 

[sevenstars]

I think I really wanted to give it a 5, but peer pressure made me give it a 7.

It’s late and I don’t drink and I still don’t understand what you are saying. Was that in response to me?

 

[DaveyNY]

So, an episode that wants you to think about your own memories and what they mean to you.
What we consider important to carry with us internally on our journey through life.

Deep ...

Not one I'm sure that's going to be enjoyed by many, but true to the spirit of TOS.

An episode that makes one think about the importance of memory and loss.
Also, the importance of inherent abilities we all have and use on a daily basis, both something Gene would probably be all over.

I gave it an 8. (crap I screwed up and clicked on 7)
Mostly for the cool ship scenes and Ortegas' fantastic flying skills.
Plus her being the only one on the ship to confront her fears and overcome the 'forgetting'.

 

[NCC-73515]

I'm trying to figure out where I would put it... better than The Fight, but worse than Threshold. Perhaps similar to Shades of Grey... All of Disco was better too
