by the end of the episode he was even stoned.
At least it was James R. Kirk who killed him and not his best friend James T. Kirk.
In SNW she's on a civilian exchange
Yup, it was part of her introduction from Dr. M’Benga in the first episode of the season:
M’Benga said:
Gary's the one who put "James R. Kirk" on the Tombstone. Perhaps they weren't really good friends as even when Omnipotent, Gary Mitchell COULDN'T recall Kirk's proper middle name/initial.
Don't be, it was nova.
I don't even recall her line. that's how much it "jumped out" to me.
Oh, I know! I was addressing those who think medical caregivers ought to be stoic, unsmiling automatons.I wasn't being serious.
So, no martinis?
The ones I worked with were more inclined toward tequila shots.
Well, no warm martinis.
Those people must really hate M*A*S*H and Scrubs.
Well, I gave it a 9.5 if we're still talking about ratings.
A great space battle episode and a great disaster episode rolled into one, with lots of good character development, a setting that really sells the cat-and-mouse submarine analogy, and plenty of opportunities to see the core cast at their best. I loved the mind-meld sequence with Spock and La'an (and the nice little bonus Michael Burnham cameo that comes with it), and it was a good call to leave the Gorn off-screen save for their ships. The Gorn semaphore thing was a bit odd and I was a little confused by the optical-illusion premise of the Pike Maneuver (and it was a wee bit dramatically convenient for the brown dwarf to be in the process of consumption by a black hole right at the time of this encounter), but these are relatively minor gripes given how well everything else works.

I worked 40+ years with RN's in a hospital.
Snark and kidding around with each other during our shifts, was usually the best way to handle what we see and have to do on a daily basis.
Better to relieve the strain and go off on each other joking around, than lose it with a patient.
Plus the chit and nonsense we have to deal with day-in/day-out, would make most folks quit.
Takes a certain type to deal with nursing care as a lifelong profession.

When the Gorn ships leave the black hole, somebody should have said
"Enemy vessels have Gorn Orff, captain."
LOVE the Gorn ships, BTW!
M'Benga said something about how Christine is interested in "archaeological medicine". Korby is an archaeologist, isn't he?
I believe he was.
Spock describes Korby as the "Pasteur of archaeological medicine". He is also a former professor.
