as I am sure most of us agree, the “Menagerie” two parter was among the best Trek episodes. A great framing story that made use of the pilot in a clever way. I watched the two parter again, and after 40 years and loads of viewings, the emotional weight was even better now that I care more about Captain Pike. This seasons writing and Anson Mount have made me care about Pike. Regardless of my overall opinion on Disco, this development was interesting and a positive.
