Spoilers Season 2 predictions/discussion thread

We'll get a flashback episode of April and Pike on the Enterprise wearing the TOS Pilot uniforms. The photograph has already been shown in the show and in at least two different episodes and I'm itching to see the ship at the time of her launch or in the first few years thereafter.
Or the Gorn Captain felt he was too slow to fight off a bunch of young Gorns that would try to kill him to get alpha status and opted to not spit
Or the Metrons disabled the Gorn spitting mechanism to make it a more fair fight...

Please give us an Ortegas story. Maybe she is a widow like the actress Melissa Navia and her spouse had been lost near the Neutral Zone, which would explain why she was so angsty about the Romulans in the finale. It's a better idea that just making her regurgitate Stiles' lines from Balance of Terror. Perhaps her flippant behaviour is her trying to run from her feelings.
Please please stop the Spock/Chapel will they/won't they stuff. I would hate it even if she wasn't supposed to fall for Roger Korby first. The character literally went from "hey, I'm a free spirit, keeping it breezy" to crazy for Spock with one fake kiss. This kind of romance story drives me nuts.

Unless Navia actively wants them to do that, I think the idea of using Navia's real-life tragedy for her character would be in incredibly bad taste and would risk being hurtful to the actor. She shouldn't have to go there mentally if she doesn't want to.
I love that arc and hope to see it continue, continuity be damned. Jess Bush and Ethan Peck are entirely too fun to watch.
No. Rewatch "Children of the Comet" -- she was already attracted to him. Then "Spock Amok." She fell for him in the course of that episode. She started to fall for him after he teased her about Humans assuming Vulcans always take Human idioms literally, and then by the end of the episode she was completely into him and in denial about it to herself. This was an evolution that took place across several episodes' time; the kiss just forced both of them to admit to themselves how they feel, even if they can't admit it to one-another or to anyone else yet.
Kirk is a Lieutenant on the Farragut

Then what is the picture with him with La'an with captain's stripes?
Gotta be either an alternate reality or some costume ranking error. SNW has shown it can do both. 
Classic comedy trope. Kirk's dad is visiting the ship and he told him he was the Captain. Hijinks ensue.

I think part of it is I can buy Wesley, reluctantly, as a 35 year old captain, but struggle to see him playing much younger than that believably.
Eh, rank stripes are already a mess on this show.
Obviously the storyline I suggested for Ortegas would need her blessing. It is only one possible way to go, one I felt had drama.
I only brought up Roger Korby because someone else would. The "will they, won't they" storylines are always done atrociously in Star Trek (see Burnham/Tyler, Trip/T'Pol, Janeway/Chakotay). Chapel in TOS was one dimensional and they are doing the same here, only using her to keep this storyline going and use a legacy character. Jess Bush is a strong actress, but she is being done a disservice.
... what about the Michael/Ash arc was "will they, won't they"? There was no prolonged period of them being attracted but not acting on it. It was clear pretty early on they were going to get together. That wasn't a question by the time of "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad."
I see a lot more to SNW Christine than one dimension, and Spock is as much a participant in this arc as Christine.
The writers have given SNW Chapel the potential to be a breakout character and really grow. She isn't well served getting tongue tied whenever she sees Spock. I think her earlier flirting in episode two was more playful and then after "The Serene Squall," it grew into something more serious. As much as Spock is a participant, it doesn't do him well either.
Christine on SNW has never been "tongue-tied" around Spock.
I mean, they only really have two scenes together after "The Serene Squall" for the rest of the season: early on in "All Who Wander" when she's doing some playful banter with him, and then the scene where she comforts him after Hemmer's memorial service.
Spock's relationship dilemma is one of the few interesting things even left to do with a sixty-year-old character who's already been explored so thoroughly in so many other stories.
A random thought - the reason Una doesn't see anyone in prison is because it isn't Una there but someone else that has agreed to take her place. The real Una is living free somewhere else with a different identity. There was an episode of Spooks that did that and it could happen in SNW if they were writing her character out of the show. All IMHO.
