That doesn't make a dystopia either.
Eh. A picture is worth a thousand words. Why the need to drag a prisoner, who is a respected Starfleet captain, through the corridors in a hood? Everyone is going to know he is a captain, he has captain's stripes on his sleeves. Why the need for the dark, hidden Admirals during Burnham's court martial?
They project a very future in Discovery. Saying it is the 23rd century isn't somekind of catchall answer, because that wasn't how it was portrayed in TOS.
Just because it's odd doesn't make it a dystopia.
Its rather odd to think that one century is all going to look the same.
Within a few years of each other, there should be more similarities than not.
The Engineering Sehlat Review with Surakried and T'roi is truly worth the wait for a ticket.
It is for me.
There is no such thing as a bad TOS episode. For this short trek I gave it a 2. Like mentioned they wasted Pike,Spock and number 1. Plus fake tests feel like storytelling cheats. Even Koboyosi Maru was just one element to Trek 2. Jason
Maybe, in addition to Command candidates, others with the potential to run a department gets tested?
Spock & Number One were never meant to be more than cameos in this one. They got The first short to themselves.
Just keep clicking your heels together wishing for a Pike series, then we'll get plenty of Pike, Number One and Spock.
I will say what I said after the other Short Treks:
it will be criminal if they do not make a series with this cast.
it will be criminal if they do not make a series with this cast.
Draw it? I demand it. And right now, Commodore Stone. Right now.
Now to figure out what to charge them with...
Stone hmself should get a Short Trek. He'd be a starship captain right about now...

Just watched it and avoided reading this thread until I had done so and posted here, will go through thread in a bit so apologies if I go over anything already covered.
I thought it was as good as Q&A and shows that they can write good albeit short stories when they aren't trying to be too clever or doing too much at once.
Some of the Short Treks feel like a test to me, seeing how the fans react to certain characters and backgrounds, perhaps even being introduced to us so that we have a basic understanding of their character when/if we get a Pike/Enterprise show, good chance we will see her character again.

Decent little episode, nothing great. Entirely predictable.
And in fact I wonder if the shortness was related to the predictability. No point to drag it out if we can all predict what's really happening from the first minute. Keep it short and functional.
As everyone else says, I hope this leads to a Pike series. It would be sad if this little short was the last we ever saw of Captain Pike.

Only a decade or so before this sequence a Governor of a Federation colony willingly executed half his colony because he thought it was a good idea. And that doesn't include horrific crap here and there allowed to down in the Federation in name of progress during Kirk's 5 year run (secret penal colony experiments on human subjects, M5 etc).
I agree. He's got a story of his own worth the telling. Maybe more than one, given that he actually was a starship captain.
