That doesn't make it right. They were just too tight to give the helmsman lines... ;-p
And that's okay, there's 800+ episodes of Trek out there! But for me personally, who apparently has mind like a steel trap for all things Trek, it was far too familiar to be enveloping.
The next episode will just be an hour of nothing but Pelia and M'Benga talking to each other.
Also I just now realized the absurdity of M'Benga being a killer jiu-jitsu fighter in just about every scenario... except people escaping from his own sickbay.
Fair point! Where were M'Benga's killer skills in that scenario!
Oh, and I edited my post to make more sense... I meant to say that Pelia's accent is so thick that I can't always understand what she's saying. Weirdly, I can always understand M'Benga!
I don't often watch the old shows. TOS, if Michelle finds it on MeTV or something. She remains highly amused at my picking out an episode from the next room based on a couple of opening chords on the audio. SNW has inspired me to seek out some of it this year, though. I showed her "Amok Time" after we watched "Spock Amok," and "Balance of Terror" after "A Quality of Mercy."
TNG, I only remember watching "The Best of Both Worlds" in recent years. That one had to do with the final episode of Picard, of course.
Michelle will watch the Abrams movies without end. She's got them on DVR. She will watch anything with Chris Pine in it.

A lot of people on here have said they have trouble understanding M'Benga. Even more puzzling since M'Benga's accent isn't how Babs Olusanmokun actually talks (there are videos of him in interviews, jiu-jitsu speeches, etc.)Fair point! Where were M'Benga's killer skills in that scenario!

Of all the 1966-2005 shows the two I revisit the least often are VOY and TAS. TOS, DS9 and ENT get the most revisits with TNG smack down in the comfortable middle. Not too dull, not so exciting to me that I need to rewatch batches of episodes in binging sprees.
I don't quite get "rewatches." I tried a Farscape rewatch to introduce Michelle to it, and we didn't make it out of the first year.
Movies I'll rewatch. Individual episodes of lots of shows. Okay, Frasier gets a workout in this household. Its on...Cosi, I believe.
But watch whole seasons of old Star Trek? Can't do it. For one thing it's repetitious - same thing, same tone, week after week after week. One out of dozens is worth the forty minutes. I could pick maybe ten or twelve episodes of TNG to save from the woodchipper.*
I've rewatched the first year of Westworld. I might do it again. But only the first year.
*Not necessarily mine, no.

The most compelling parts of the episode were Uhura & Hemmer, the Kirk brothers at the bar, Pelia & Una, and that scene with Spock and Chapel.
Though the whole theory regarding extradimensional aliens might have been another nod to ENT, I did not care for it.
The episode is basically DIS S4 in reverse, with Starfleet playing the role of Species 10-C.
I am also noticing that these shows continue to borrow from each other and reuse the same plot points. Hmm.
7/10

What the actual fuck is this?
I...get the lines of logic. Sort of. But I don't agree.
It was only a few days ago I realized he was the same guy from Dune. ( In my defense I haven't seen SNW. )
Gibberish.
Yeah, the episode title did tend to give everything away, but there was a lot more going on here than the alien of the week, which sounded like those adult Charlie Brown adult voices on a much deeper register. It was nice to see both zombie and regular Hemmer again... I sure wish he would've continued in his role, because I'm not warming up to the Chief Witch engineer at all so far... and her scenes with Una left me unmoved. I liked the way Kirk took one on the chin and let it slide given the hallucinatory circumstances Uhura was battling. The Sam-Jim sibling rivalry scenes also seemed kind of juvenile and flat, but at least there was that first meeting between Spock and Kirk, which played out perfectly. The Kirk and Uhura scenes about battling fear and death were very Kirkian and well delivered by Wesley... can't help but wonder if there will be an actual TOS spinoff down the road. And then there was the obligatory Redshirt Ramone thread, of course. Nice character development overall, not as well directed IMO as last episode, and the contrast between Hemmer and the Hippy engineer make me give this a high 8... but without the latter, could've been a low 9.
So Episode 6
Lovely nebula shot at the start of this week.
They still know what a gas station is?
Nice to see the buzzard collectors in use.
Why is an Ensign doing heavy duty recalibration? Though fun that Uhura does YouTube like the rest of us!
Nice to see Hemner back! He should never have gone IMHO.
Una needs to listen to advice one thinks.
11 mins in: calling it as Aliens in the Nebula trying to communicate.
Kirk brothers on screen is nice. Decent interaction between them. Like the history.
Youngest first officer in the fleet for Jimmy? Nice.
Chapel and Spock- good 'small' moment in a series of 10 episodes.
Uhura not have any off duty clothes?
Blue skinned bartender? Andorian?
Good punch Uhura!
Those quarters are still oversized and stupid.
"Damage to speech and auditory centres of his brain" - time for a telepath?
Starfleet security are terrible shots!
Why not call Engineering and ask why the emergency lighting kicked in?
"I'll go back to sickbay" - alone - more horror cliche.
"All teams?" seems like only three people?
If they can do 'emergency beam out' - why could they not beam Ramon to the brig from nacelle control?
"Space Hippy?" They still remember hippies?
Shuttle crash site- that explains the burning wood.
Hemmer saves the day!
Destroying the station on a hunch from a junior officer? That is going to be one heck of a report for Starfleet Command - that station must of been expensive.
Even if Pike can overwrite M'Benga Uhura should still be off duty as she still has not rested.
Una and Pelia - I like that shared history.
Good jazz there.
Confirmation that Enterprise is the flagship.
Kirk, Spock, and Uhura together? We see what you did there.
Tellerite in the bar at the end.
Celia Rose Gooding is really good in this.

Well the Enterprise sure was lucky that the aliens they saved ultimately seemed to be benevolent after the station was destroyed, which was not a given considering they basically fried a guy's brain into suicide. Would've been unfortunate if after destroying the station, a whole army of crystalline entities, cloud creatures, alien jellyfish or whoever appeared and were like "Thanks you fools, now we're free to conquer the galaxy!" and Pike and Uhura would be all like 'What have I done????"

Well, yeah, because I doubt most of the crew of the Enterprise are xenophobes.
Optimism.
"Yes, Admiral, I believe we've witnessed a birth."
