I remember years ago during TNG and than DS9 some people would get irritated with time travel episodes. Saying they had done too much etc. But it's a part of Trek that will probably be revisted and revisted until the franchise ceases to tell stories. It's an integral part of the franchise. I just hope this is a good one. Sadly once again it looks like Kirk keeps being introduced after time has been altered...lol

It has.

It's stupid, tired and contrived. Being "a part of Trek " doesn't make it more palatable. It just makes it a painful inevitability.

Yep just watched it. Gave it a 4. Yes I was kind. Must be the writers strike.

Wasn't in place when the episode was filmed.

 

[Commander Richard]

^ That's time travel for ya.

 

[Racefuel]

Apparently the alternative Enterprise we see Kirk on is going to have straight nacelle pylons? Thats the rumor anyway

 

[Commander Richard]

The episode title reminds me of Farscape's "Back and Back and Back to the Future".

Seems more Shakespeare, potentially.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

The season finished filming last July.

Try harder.

I mean I'd watch it now, but I'm worried about messing with my Paramount account because I'd have to sign up for another Paramount Plus account under Amazon (outside of the one I have with Paramount directly) just to watch this now, even under trial, and I can see having 2 accounts under the same email causing all sorts of hellish account (and possibly credit card) issues that I'd rather not face.

No one's willing to summarize under a spoiler tag?

Temporal prime directive.

Saw it on Amazon Prime. Liked it, even though I generally dislike time travel stories. I'll stay away from spoilers for now, but... the issue with Capt. Kirk being from Iowa or from space is resolved.

In keeping with last week's episode and no longer hiding my Roman ancestry... IIX.

as far as the trial for Paramount+ thru Amazon Prime, I have the P+ account, I clicked the free P+ trial for Amazon, watched the show, then unsubscribed in the A-Prime subscription settings. Easy Peazy, no issues with a second account.

 

[Timelord79 (he/him)]

I wonder if the time travel shenanigans here are going to play into the Lower Decks crossover.

We don't see the ship from the exterior, but the graphics on the bridge depict it as looking just like Pike's.

I thought the fact

Spoiler

that he was born on the USS Iowa

was a little bit too on the nose.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Eh?

Spoiler

Kirk's parents transferred from the Kelvin to the Iowa?

I mean, it's clear that Nero's attack on the Kelvin somehow managed to spark Winona's pregnancy a bit early. But the Kelvin itself (and the Kirks' presence on it) predates the timeline divergence.

 

[Tiberius Jim]

So what does that mean?

Spoiler

In this scenario, the timeline changes in the 21st century. The Federation and Starfleet never forms.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

So what kind of ship is the Iowa?

100% havent't seen it yet, but I don't mind spoilers - they raise anticipation for me.

That said....

Spoiler

How does the ship apparently look exactly like the prime universe model then? Is that explained?
