The Spock/Chapel stuff is one of the things that will be hard to square with TOS. How do they thread the needle between the current passionate connection and a future situation where they're acquaintances with one playfully crushing on the other?

<!-- (First watched YYYY-MM-DD) Thoughts. -->
(First watched 2023-07-20) So they made sure to give Pike a temporary minor rank change to line up with how Kirk said he met him back in [[Star Trek: The Original Series Season 1|TOS]]. But now that's spent. We've seen two alternate reality James Kirks and now the real one for an episode, do they really have the restraint to keep him away from the show? Or find more ways that somehow don't involve him running across Pike.
 
Kind of interesting how for this Kirk appearance they don't go to the big obviouses. No captain-on-captain big deal with Pike. Spock meeting Kirk is a mostly subdued moment kept for the ending fadeout. Instead, he just happens to be at the right place at the right time when Uhura needs some help.
 
The rest of the story worked well enough, though "some people can hear/see things others can't and it's not just hallucination" and "we're accidentally harming unseen aliens" are both things I feel like I've seen many times.
