So Trek writers still haven't fully figured out what deuterium is?
Do we know how many episodes Kirk will appear in this season? Also Kirk met Pike, Uhura, Spock in this episode and we know from Memento Mori, Christine Chapel served on the Farragut so he probably already knows her.Another historic handshake
I don't think they mentioned that. It was probably supposed to be a surprise each time 
They said these beings can interact with atoms, and deuterium is consistently used as the matter part of SF M/AM warp cores
Refineries-- always bad news, no matter where, no matter when.
I'm going to say the same thing about this episode as I said about the Tomorrow episode. Why is Kirk here? I feel like the writers have already abandoned the idea that this show was supposed to be the adventures of Pike and Crew and Kirk is just in the way. Why couldn't this be an Uhura and M'Benga episode, or a Uhura and Pike episode? I liked the idea of aliens in the Deuterium (Even though it reminded me a little of TNG's Force of Nature, or as fans fondly refer to it, as the Warp limit episode) and the revelation was actually pretty well done. However, for Hemmer's return and just this episode as a whole, Kirk didn't need to be there and I'm already getting a little tired of Wesley's portrayal.
This episode gets a 7, mainly because while it was a good sci fi concept, I'm worried that the writers/producers are forgetting why fans wanted Strange New Worlds in the first place.

So many memberries ... yet to be made.
I like it.
Gave it a nine, just cause I can't give every episode a 10 and there's no 11.
It will be very disappointing if They don't eventually show us Kirk taking over the Enterprise.
I'm loving getting to see how the TOS crew ended up meeting each other.
Obviously, Captain Pike was the impetus that brings about the eventual legendary crew of the starship Enterprise.
Fitting.

Ditto. Love seeing these guys meet for the first time. and Obviously they are using the '09 film as a reference point as well. It's crazy that at the same time the events of SNW are taking place in the Kelvin timeline, Kirk and the others are aboard the Enterprise and taking on Khan.

They also said they needed to "refine" it (into what, it's the most common element in the universe!) and Uhurah was getting a toxic reaction to it.
To some degree. Bob Orci said that he believed that Kirk and Spock's first meeting was also after Kirk cheated on the Kobyashi Maru at the Academy in the Prime Timeline. Yet as Spock and Kirk make no reference to such a meeting in this episode and act like they never met before, this is clearly not the case.
Gives all the folks saying "It's a different timeline" something to bitch about.
My guess is that when they do the collecting, the process pulls in whatever else is contained in the nebula and they have to refine that material out to get pure deuterium.
Obviously, the lifeform living in that particular nebula would be one of the things that gets removed (and killed) during that process.
