The costuming was so good in this one, I really love Batel's dress in particular.

They're debating on it lol
Q and Trelane
memory-alpha.fandom.com
Because it's never actually said *in* the actual episode that he's a Q, it necessitated a debate to take it from the comments from the producers.

That was Una talking to her with Pike, not Batel.
No thanks. I want to see a good trek story not threesomes.
Those things aren't mutually exclusive.
also they didn't suggest we would see it.
Well, I'm glad you're not a writing it then.
I'm glad you aren't either.
Nice Peter David tribute, he had Trelane as Q's son waaaaaaaaaay back in Q-Squared.
That was thoroughly stupid.
I'm utterly sick of the only idea the SNW writers having for Spock is having him act emotional & doing a comedy episode. With each repetition, it becomes more annoying and mundane. Do something else, ANYTHING else with the character. Please.
I'm also annoyed at SNW's tendency to retroactively fuck up Trek continuity by doing prequels to episodes that obviously depicted first encounters on TOS. First Harry Mudd on DSC, then the Gorn, and now Trelane. And probably a few more I'm forgetting.
And really, what is the point in explicitly connecting Trelane to Q, other than injecting more Small Universe Syndrome into Trek and making Spock look like an absolute idiot in "The Squire of Gothos" for not mentioning he'd encountered Trelane before? Sure, casting John de Lancie as Trelane's dad was a cute in-joke, but what does it actually ADD to the Star Trek Universe to imply that Q is actually Trelane's father?
And since we know from the beginning that what we're seeing in the episode is essentially a dream, it's tough to care about anything that follows.
I enjoyed Rhys Darby, the bit with the Edosian bartender was cute, and some of the costumes were spectacular, but this was NOT a good episode. 3/10 or me.

Seems generous given what I read.
"Fucked up continuity! Eh, a 3".
That's not a bad fuck up then.
Agreed. I gave it a 4 though.Tired of Spock/Chapel and Spock's emotions. When do we get Spock the TOS Vulcan? Is it this breakup/Chapel's slap in his face that causes him to fight emotions? But then TOS didn't really reflect this depth of that relationship or such a tight bond between them.
Never liked the Q, and a little annoyed at this retcon of Q being Trelane's parent. Trelane's parents seemed kind and concerned about the humans T was toying with. That's not Q's approach.
I suspect Peter would not see it as a tribute, and he'd be a bit grumpy that he wasn't thanked in the credits (like a Marvel show) nor was he even given a token amount of money (which he needed at the end).
Spock didn't see Trelane's true appearance.
Yup. It's getting to much. I'm honestly expecting cameos from the doomsday machine or Balok. It's just too much.
One thing is Spock didn't see Trelane the way he appeared in TOS. He saw him as different people. That's something at least.
I wish they would have kept Trelane as he was.
Trelane was disguising his look. There's a couple shots where you can see what he really looked like in a reflection.
That's why Spock called him a Vulcan at the Bar, and later everyone was referring to him as an Andorian when he was the Wedding Planner.
His name is also never said in the episode.
It still effected everyone, they didn't lose their memories.
Trelane is a noncorporeal being. He doesn't have just one look.
The writers already confirmed. Trelane is a Q.
On screen or doesn't count.
