 So after two episodes with a large amount of ~alternate reality versions of James Kirk, we finally see the real deal very briefly at the end.

-<!-- (First watched YYYY-MM-DD) Thoughts. -->
+(First watched 2023-07-06) Watch enough sci-fi TV, you're gonna see a few "lost our memory" episodes. This one did enough its own way to not just feel like retread. The lower class essentially having no long-term memory but being convinced that's a good thing, with a system of symbols to keep track of where they live. Closely following Ortegas, getting a front-row seat to how a confused person on a starship ends up in their quarters and ends up back out of their quarters realizing they have to act even if they don't know exactly what they're doing.
+Revisiting Rigel VII is interesting. A few years back we saw Talos IV, and here we see another planet from the early Pike era that ~60 years ago was just viewed as a short memory. They kept the style reasonably similar, though the building we saw was much larger. And the native warriors less... animalistic?
+A low level Enterprise crew member being lost and contaminating the local population is a lot like the backstory to one of the better [[Star Trek: Prodigy Season 1]] episodes.
+Pike's bending of the Prime Directive this time was... a pretty big bend. "An asteroid influencing the culture can't count as its natural evolution". Come on, that's bullshit. That's... literally nature! Can they go around beaming people from deserts to oases without anyone calling foul?
