A haircut makes or breaks a character? Interesting.
No, just another reason not to like her.

Ok what? Your comment is totally uncalled for. I said nothing profane, immoral, unethical, or illegal in my post. We are discussing fictional charcters, yet you go straight to a personal attack against me, a real person.

I enjoyed it. ive had mixed feelings about the AR wall because it often calls attention to itself and isn’t exactly seamless; I can always see where the studio floor ends and the wall begins. But it really looked great here, conjuring the icy wilderness.
The plot was fine for what it was. SNW continues to reboot Trek’s greatest hits to a new audience; we’ve had our Trekkian courtroom drama, and our time travel to contemporary earth attempting to restore the timeline (and meeting a fellow crew officer who happens to live in that time period on Earth and looks identical to their later self). Now we’ve had the “Starfleet officer goes renegade and takes over a primitive world causing cultural contamination” trope. Very familiar Trek fare. This was quite well excited though with some great performances all round. It also gave Oretegas a little to do without being overtly annoying and smirky. That’s a win.

I forgot about the AR walls. It does seem strange that one matte painting shot of the moon over Rigel from a production literally filmed in 1964 is more memorable than all the AR backdrops in this episode from 2023
Well, I liked it. Good but not great. I was in the 6-8 range and gave it an 8. As I have tinnitis anyway, that didn't bother me much.
Good character development for Pike. I did not even remember Rigel VII as part of the Cage.
Why couldn't Spock read his tablet? I guess Una's enhanced immune system was no help here..

Her advanced immune system would not be involved in preserving memories.
I assumed Spock had lost the ability to read English/Federation Standard.
Do you judge everyone in your life by superficial characteristics like a haircut?
I'm very sorry, honey. *HUGS*
A very fun take on the old "cultural contamination" trope. Nice to see Spock wasn't immune for once. Good to see Ortegas saving the ship!
A few people mentioned this was scary and I totally agree. Dementia runs in one side of my family, so losing my memory is a real fear for me.
Speaking absolutely seriously, I intend to read Homer one day, it’s long been on my list, but no I’ve never read it.
I’m a fan theoretically, I wouldn’t say I’m not a fan.
It’s quite good. I liked it better than the Iliad (and not because it’s shorter…well, not only
). Both were required reading in my last year of high school. Along with the Roman knockoff, the Aeneid.
Bloody Romans.It’s quite good. I liked it better than the Iliad (and not because it’s shorter…well, not only

The Aeneid is another on my long long list.
I guess it will be an odyssey for you to get to Homer.
