I don't think it's the most grindy thing in the world. The F2P model is mostly pretty fair, though absurdly-priced bundles have become normalized over the last few years.
But it's not overly difficult to play, even if you choose not spend a dime. And the story is fun.
See, I meant what I said last week about being bad at listening to podcasts!
That's an interesting question. Kirk seemed pretty determined to let Khan and his people have a real chance on Ceti Alpha V, so it makes sense that he'd allow them some tools, and even weapons.
But this episode also makes a bit of a big deal out of Khan's reaction to Starfleet technology that's much more advanced that what he's used to. Some kind of throwback/antique weapon would make sense.
I thought this was a decent one. They continue to walk the line of adding depth to Khan without necessarily casting him in a positive light.
I'm a little surprised they dropped the Sulu/Tuvok framing device, but I didn't really miss it.
RIP Joaquin, I guess the guy in TWOK is your kid.

the fanatasy/hallucination wss made by Batel
Yeah, I think you're right - that's the only anwer that makes any kind of sense. I was just thrown by the fact that Real Batel showed absolutely no awareness of, or interest in, what had happened when Pike snapped out of it. At least, that's what I remember - I haven't gone back to double-check.
How are things looking in TO? Do we have a bona fide quarterback controversy brewing?
I'm glad we're finally dispensing with, "this was always the plan."
It does beg the question of what about the project "requires further development" - it seemed like a pretty comprehensive plan when I looked at it.
He's reportedly on the one-game injured list, so I guess it couldn't been worse.
She sort of sidestepped the question in the interview...my answer would be "no, but who cares if the story's any good?"
Interestingly, I see someone at Memory Alpha has been incorporating stuff from the first two episodes into related pages...we'll see if that sticks.
