I thought Ortegas was going out for a bit. With a prequel show like this you really look at different characters different ways. Like, I know M'benga and Sam Kirk are going to survive this situation. But Ortegas's future (or lack thereof) is still shrouded in mystery so she's always in danger. And for all of these new-to-SNW characters, dying is the easiest way to explain why they never interacted with TOS characters on-screen in later days. | I thought Ortegas was going out for a bit.

Telling the Gorn to hibernate of course reminds us of how the Borg were dealt with in The Best of Both Worlds. I'm surprised the Gorn are so... easily fooled, though. They all see a pseudo-star emitting a certain type of light for a few seconds and are like "Forget that invasion, time to go sleep!" Anyway, if they're hibernating for a fairly long time... is that the last of the Gorn we'll be seeing here on SNW?}} | Telling the Gorn to hibernate of course reminds us of how the Borg were dealt with in The Best of Both Worlds.

Uhura's head looked a bit funny in this episode. I've seen pictures from this season where she has bigger hair; I'm supposing this oddity is the result of them tamping it down to try to match the look from the end of last season?}} | |||

|thoughts = }} | |thoughts = Interesting premise and forced pairing for people to solve the problem... but the whole thing just felt so cruel to Spock that it was hard to properly enjoy the goofiness. His relationship with Chapel has gone down fast, a magic weirdness makes them a couple again, and then he's forced to be the responsible one trying to tell everyone that no, that's not really the case. | ||
So was that Trelane? Sure looked similar and played out very similarly. That the crew of the Enterprise only saw him in other forms would preserve them not recognizing him when meeting him years down the road. But it makes the ending with the parents all too repetitive. Also, interesting casting for [[John de Lancie]] as one of the parents. Whether it's just a fun casting trick or meant to be more meaningful in tying Q and Trelane together.}} | |||
