10 out of 10.
It astonishes me how these people fucking nail exactly what Star Trek once was and "ought" to be, week after week, from so many different angles with so many kinds of stories.
Yeah, it would have been nice if the title of the episode didn't give the game away right up front. Alas...

As for our check-in with everyone's favorite couple this week, how long do you suppose it will be before Christine tells Spock something like, "Y'know, we have to just accept that having what you thought you wanted isn't everything you hoped it would be when you wanted it?"
I mean, he learned that somewhere.

Yeah..they've said some things will be tweaked, some things will be left intact or just modified a bit.
Kirk will still have fought a Gorn on Cestus 3, just now he'll have had a little prior experience with them..but the events of "Arena" will still have taken place

I believe the line goes:As for our check-in with everyone's favorite couple this week, how long do you suppose it will be before Christine tells Spock something like, "Y'know, we have to just accept that having what you thought you wanted isn't everything you hoped it would be when you wanted it?"

"After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true."
Yes because Spock and Chapel are the same person and have the same speech pattern and vocabulary recall.I believe the line goes:
"After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true."

Well of course he makes it his own by then. The relationship and break-up are a turning point for him.
My head canon is that he had a run-in with T’Pril at some point. That woman leaves a mark.
My sons and I have read all the books, plus the Pellucidar, Barsoom, and Venus series.Me no like monosyllabic movie Tarzan. I like multilingual literary Tarzan.
Edgar Rice Burroughs had a great vocabulary.
Her daughter does too. Kirk was lucky to survive running into her!
I still can’t reconcile the two versions; SNW T’Pring is likable and I don’t want her to turn into that Machiavellian hellcat.
I FULLY Concur, such a waste of resources.
Not every nebula is going to have Life-forms living in the Deuterium.
Just tow the Deuterium Collection array to another Stellar Nursery.
That seems SO wasteful and a unnecessary strike against Captain Pike.
Yes, stopping the Deuterium Collection that hurts the Deutrium Aliens is all fine and stuff.
But blowing up the array when it can be towed to another system?

There's plenty of time in the future for all sorts of "Shenanigans".

Personally, I put the blame on insane Vulcan society, which apparently doesn't allow for divorce without a battle to the death.
...doesn't allow for divorce without a battle to the death.
Divorce is often the next worst thing to that, anyway.
That didn’t make sense to me, either, unless it was so far away to move the thing that it was totally impractical, in which case a line to that effect would have been good. I figured the writers just couldn’t resist blowing something up.

1. Heat of the moment. Those lifeforms were being tortured as they stood there.
2. The array wouldn't shut off, and so more drastic action had to be taken.
Exactly. If that were the case, I would have given up on Batman movies several actors ago.
Strangely, I do enjoy different actors as Batman. And before people say "Well, those are also different universes" Keaton, Kilmer and Clooney are all the same Batman character.
Yeah, this didn't strike me as any more extreme than destroying other devices to preserve life.
They literally have "Warp Tugs".
When the USS Enterprise was hobbled & needed Warp Tugs to drag it's hull back to space dock for repairs, it took several Warp Tugs.
That was when Pike transfered over to be temproary Captain of the USS Discovery.
The same can be done with a larger Deuterium Refining station.
I'm all fine with blowing something up when it makes sense to do so.
This was just excessive and wasteful of resources.
I voted a six. The episode was good, I liked almost every aspect of it and the stuff with Uhura I'm just not sold on this Kirk. It's not fitting for me and, really, there's no need for him to be here. That's really my only "complaint" or issue with the episode. That's not Kirk. Otherwise I probably would have given the episode an 8.
Beings were dying.
