You and I had a mind meld, because I was thinking exactly that

Not a big fan of this episode, I feel that you don't have the time to develop a friendship between two enemy sworn races, you shouldn't try to do it.
If you are into Metrons and super powerful entities, just go all the way in, and make time go slower, like the Picard-Flute episode, you can't have two women playing Heroscape and Chess in two days and being friends forever. Too close to Enemy of Mine, a movie I love, and this fell a bit short.
Yeah, I was wondering if the gorn was gonna be pregnant, called Zammis the newborn, and if Ortegas will have to go to the Gorn home world to recite the Jeriba lineage :P
"Four-and-a-Half-Vulcans" ready to beam up xD
the intro with the Pike monotonous/vulcan voice was fun also.
Too much docudrama for my taste, I really enjoyed Uhura and how she sees trough Beto.
The ending was emotive, and that for me was the best part, people are in Starfleet, they have their reasons, but the main one is that the like the Federation and they fight to preserve it, even die if needed.
I had a problem with sendmail about 20 years ago, for several days I tried ro fix it, the only way I fixed it was reading the manual, not the whole manual because about half I read what was i doing wrong.
If everything else fails, read the manual
It wasn't a silly question after reading the OP answer xD
I can't be the only one with goosebumps when they say to Kirk that now he was now the captain? He looked at the chair with a little fear. That was good
that is my only concern as well, in a 10 episode season if already 2 has been on the "frivolous side" there's not much left for actual scifi-exploration stuff.
In the other tv series you had 24 episodes each season, you can go around on 2 or 3 episodes each season with silly stuff that was welcome to change the tone from the more serious episodes, here I'm worried. I liked the episode thou, so I'm complaining, but I liked it.
yeah, the ending was too hot, and it's not even August yet :P
Uhura speech it was very meta and was really emotional, it was a speech straight from a ST fan, nice writing and performing there Edit: bloopers were hilarious, and with Frakes directing the blooper of "Kirk" doing the Riker manouver was so funny
Didn't liked much the episode, best parts the Kirk-Spock interactions, and Im not a TOS guy.
The Pike finale with Batel was bad, also it was annunciated before, so no surprise when it happens which does it worst.
Worst SNW season so far. Not terribly bad, ,but definitely not good
