(First watched 2023-06-29) Son of a bitch. At the end of [[Star Trek: Picard Season 2|Picard season 2]] I thought it was pretty dumb that they were retconning Khan to be several decades later than the 90s... and here that is explained away. I'm still not totally on board with the decision, but the ability to provide an in-universe explanation for such a thing in a totally separate branch is kind of the beauty of a megafranchise. | (First watched 2023-06-29) Son of a bitch.

There are probably more connections to Picard season 2 that really eagle-eyed people like Jorg will notice but that went by me. Like... logos or wording or something that would be familiar from [[Adam Soong|Bob Soong]]. | There are probably more connections to Picard season 2 that really eagle-eyed people like Jorg will notice but that went by me. Like... logos or wording or something that would be familiar from [[Adam Soong|Bob Soong]]. This is also I'm almost certain the closest we've seen Star Trek do two "trip to the near-present" episodes, with Picard season 2 being just over a year ago. | ||
The rest of the episode worked well enough. With it being set up very early on that Kirk was from a timeline that shouldn't be, I had a pretty strong feeling he would have an "Edith Keeler moment". Close enough. | The rest of the episode worked well enough.
