You and me both though I think Open Circle is great too.

Is Pelia gone for Season 3?
No idea, but Martin Quinn has been in Toronto a lot the last couple months, so we're definitely getting plenty of Scotty.
Now is it Scotty as Chief Engineer? Or Scotty has an underling to Pelia?
We'll have to wait and see!
Curious as to what made them "unwatchable". Both feature well trod Trek tropes (anomaly that makes people do odd things and time travelers are out place in the period they're stuck in) The performances and writing was on point and the comedy worked.

I would guess that he stays with the crew as an underling and advances through the ranks to become chief at a later date. He's a Lieutenant now, and a Lieutenant Commander in TOS...
Those Old Scientists is completely watchable. Fun even.
"Those Old Scientists" is some of the most carefree, fun Star Trek I've ever seen.
M'Benga's soft, confused "explode, you say" when Boimler tells him that some tricorders of this era were prone to exploding is one of the biggest laughs I've let out watching Trek in years. That episode is just golden.

Probably an Easter egg reference toTOS S1 Arena
( And I say that because that's the only TOS episode where I remember a tricorder exploding.)
He's a Lt JG so barely above an ensign. He's got a ways to go. And I hope he has to suffer Pelia because - comedy!
For my money, these eps are classic Trek:
Tier 1: Classic: Momento Mori; Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach; A Quality of Mercy; Ad Astra per Aspera; Those Old Scientists; Under The Cloak of War, Hegemony.
Tier 2: Near Classics: Spock Amok; All Those Who Wander, Charades.
Srltrange New Worlds, Comet, Ghosts of Ilyria, Tomorrow, Lotus Eaters, Lost In Translation & Subspace Rhapsody are all very good. YMMV, of course.
The musical was tough for me the first time. Better the second.

Yeah, it was the second of the two episodes shown a week early at the NYC Paley Center. My immediate reaction was "Why did y'all do all that other stuff after 1970 instead of going straight to this?"
Because there was a time travel accident involving Red Matter in 2233 that destroyed the U.S.S. Kelvin.
