Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x05 - "Through the Lens of Time"

[Ovation]

I'm sorry, what? This episode is now many years after The Cage. And Pike met Vina AGAIN in Discovery. (Or other crew did. It's been a long time since I've seen the Talos IV episode.)

Burnham, Spock, and Pike met Vina in that episode.

True, plus SNW has also done a a follow-up episode regarding the Enterprise's mission to Rigel, the disastrous mission which happened just prior to The Cage which resulted in heavy losses, among them Pike's Yeoman, who we actually survived in S2's Among the Lotus Eaters.

And yes, Pike did reunite with Vina in that Disco episode.

Ahh okay thanks for the reminder. This also makes me wonder if despite the regeneration Dr. M'Benga was attempting -- even without the issue of the malevolent being pretty much inhabiting that poor guy's dead carcass (in the most basic way -- I mean, his BRAIN was gone) -- was more or less an experimental treatment at that point. Maybe it became like Holodeck tech... shelved until a future date.

"Brain and brain! What is brain?!"

We need it for many science reasons.

Solid 9. Nice and creepy.

The "Curiouser and Curiouser" line by Spock was a nice throwback to Discovery and Spock and Michael having their mom read Alice in Wonderland to them. I like little touches like that.

The "we're going to need a bigger boat" reference was good too.

Burnham, Spock, and Pike met Vina in that episode.

Me too. I goofed on how recent that was. Mea culpa (beats back with thorny vines) It was 13 years ago in The Menagerie. It all seemed sooner to me because Nimoy didn't really age between The Cage and The Menagerie.

I haven't watched much of Discovery, life got in the way, I didn't even own a TV in the decade it came out. The few episodes I saw were at friend's houses or Trek parties.
