The real Watcher.
I don't know- Rios seems very 'at home' with 24th-25th technology and life. I could see the kid and his mom coming forward, kind of like the whale doc Gillian Taylor in STIV.
Interesting- I hadn't considered that but you are probably right.
They mentioned it in first and second episodes. So no.
God, I hope not.
The boy uploads an ASMR video to TikTok of his repeated tapping the comm badge. It goes viral.
Yeah, let's not have a DSC tie-in. At all.
Like, let it not even be a consideration. I know Trek loves its occasional tie-ins and crossovers but...no.

I think we're safe
True. But the walls have ears.
Ears that are 25% different.

RIPFN. (Rest in peace-for now)
Spoiler alert: an episode later in season 2 will open with a minutes-long flashback to Naomi being gang-raped to death by a bunch of Klingons. It will be necessary to actually see all the violence and screaming and penetration, we won't be able to understand Seven's character arc without it.
I am still so pissed about that Icheb thing!
Ack, terrible typo on my part. I'll just leave it for posterity though.
The Icheb thing, actually pretty much every aspect of that episode, got me to bail on the first season.
I really enjoyed this episode. Got all those good old feelings from Future's End and The Voyage Home in all the right places. I was hoping we'd get trippy heads in the time travel sequence, but there were enough homages to keep me happy. INSTANT love for the interactions between Rios and this seasons apparent love interest and modern-times-helper. That Rick and Morty reference was good at characterizing that trouble-maker kid. Looking forward to another exchange between him and Rios. I also really can't help but love it when Star Trek hammers down on the THIS IS BAD, STOP DOING THIS STUFF when they travel to the past. Those damn fires on the hills, what a common ass sight for us in California.
I feel like this season Jeri Ryan has truly reconnected with Seven as a character. Her nuance on the character is much more familiar this season than it was last. The really, really subtle sadness and vulnerability in her voice from the VOY days is back, and I love it. It's also very fitting for the story they seem to be telling with her, so it may have made it easy to find that voice again. I remember in some interviews she was saying it was difficult last season to come back to the character. Very heartbreaking when she mentions that strangers don't usually like her. Felt very much like how she use to voice young Annika through Seven.

Not enough nanoprobes to fix the ship would be my guess.
I have to say wow! I certainly didn't expect what happened with Elnor. This show packed an emotional punch with all the characters.I liked Rios getting more back story .I liked the cute scene with Annika and the little girl who thought she was a super hero. Raffi had some really great scenes in this show. She was angry about Picard and Q playing games with peoples lives she was right on the mark when she said it. And Annie Wersching is doing a great job as the Borg Queen.The scenes with her and Agnes are menacing.

No no no, you're wrong. Modern Trek is a moral show.
There would never be any rape in it. That would imply the existence of (gasp) SEX!
That's why we only have bloody torture murder, gross gore, main characters executing prisoners, genocide and space cannibalism where our hero has to eat the ganglia of an intelligent alien, force-fed to her by a fascist mass murdering dictator that's also the snarky anti-hero sidekick later on!
How else could you justify watching it with your kids?

I thought the sling shot sequence was a nice modern reimagining. We got a nice effect with the characters "stopping", showing that time is wonky without being campy. Also, if you look closely you can see a tear go back up Jurati's cheek, indicating time is flowing backwards. That was a nice touch. The sequence looked very good IMO.
Oh, I really enjoyed it and noticed the excellent similarities in the sequence. I was just specifically hoping for the stylized 3d head effect or something like it. The shot of Picard that mirrors Kirk's coming out of the slingshot was very cool.
The sequence also has dynamic shield visualization which limits the surface of the ship from becoming superluminal hot and blanching in the photosphere.
By setting this in our modern day, they avoid any possible collision from Kirk's ships on their round trips to the 60's and 80's.
Now I'm wondering if Captain Christopher's son will make an appearance.
