Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x01 - "Hegemony, Part II"

[indranee]

I dunno about Pike starting to say the “our father” before Batel woke up. I know they established he’s somewhat religious back on Disco but it kinda stuck out to me here.

I took it as Pike doing the whole thing kind of reluctantly when he said "okay dad, you win."

I thought it was okay. I do hope the Gorn are gone for good though. They just can't do anything interesting with them given where they have to end up, unless they're willing to just retcon and shoehorn in something different. Like some B5 thing where Batel has to go to the Gorn planet because she has some Gorn DNA in her and is the only one that can try to talk to them ala Sinclair.

I did think it was funny that suddenly Mitchell was a character for a fleeting moment. It felt like her name was said more in this episode than the last two seasons, but I could just be forgetting. It's weird that she's there most of the time, but she's not a main character... it's the Discovery problem, although obviously not as bad.

I gave it a 7/10.
Episode overall was good but the way they broke canon with the Gorn is really an insult to long time fans.

Too many people pulling convenient approaches and solutions out of their hats without any setup. We don't get to see the crew put two and two together. Setup then payoff is something these shows are rotten at.

See....I don't get this critique of both Mitchell and DSC's Detmer, Rhys etc. They're background characters. O'Brien didn't get a first name until Season 4 of TNG and that same show had a rotating cast of helm officers that often appeared in more than 1 episode and no one gives the show the same level of grief.
