Thoughts as I watch:

  • So, I’m wondering: is Cayuga a reference to Rod Serling? He named his production company that in reference to the lake in New York.
  • Relationships suck when you are a Starfleet captain who knows your destiny to one day be in a beepie chair.
  • Rigel 7, a deep cut!
  • We have gone (ZERO) days without some sort of Starfleet prime directive problem.
  • Finally, some Ortegas action!
  • “THE HAT IS SUPREME.” I’m going to have to use that in conversation.
  • Oh man, at least she keeps the hat.
  • “Subdermal universal translators” are the new translation microbes
  • Oh boy, they have starfleet tech.
  • Ah, we’ve got a good old-fashioned “Federation citizen takes over a world” episode!
  • “This is a cage.” Heh.
  • Forgetting is a scary side effect for a planet.
  • I get that they were only on there for like four hours, but shouldn’t they have noticed stuff like this their last visit? Or maybe… THEY LOST
  • “Welcome to Memento/50 First Dates Planet”
  • Can still remember how to fight!
  • So I’m guessing Spock is probably one of the more resistant to all of this due to his Vulcan-ness.
  • Man, La’An is having a REALLY bad pair of weeks.
  • Captain Pike even without his memories is still Captain Pike. Makes sense.
  • Okay, I guess Spock isn’t immune.
  • Glad to see the Connie class had GPS.
  • I gotta admit, I feel like Pelia would be good in this episode given just how many memories she has to lose and how many skills she has.
  • SHE FLIES THE SHIP
  • The ship’s computer is great this week.
  • Damn, that is some tough silverware, standing up to phaser blasts.
  • Is it just me or is that a fresco or whatever of Alexander the Great… Zac-ized?
  • Okay, that logic doesn’t quite seem sound, but whatever.
  • So, uhm, be careful about telling her about the Beepy-chair, Chris.

It’s Cayuga, as per the closed captioning, and it’s likely no coincidence. As I noted in my annotations, the Cayuga first appeared in “A Quality of Mercy”, which shares a title with a 1961 Twilight Zone episode starring Leonard Nimoy. And TZ was produced by Serling’s production company, Cayuga Productions.

Thank you!

For better or worse, I’m not sure “starring” is quite the right description. Nimoy has like three lines and a couple minutes of screen time. I found it rather jarring to recognize Nimoy early in the episode and then see so little of him after.

Featuring, perhaps.

Continuumguy ,

Yes, I noticed that in your annotations over at… the other place. Interestingly enough, Roddenberry spoke at a memorial for Serling in 1975

“This is a cage.” Heh.

I hope that one day Captain Pike visits a zoo and says “this is a menagerie”.

autojourno ,

The platter cracked me up.

Ensign — “captain…sir…this directive says all away teams will be issued a Pfaltzgraff serving set for protection?”

Pike — “trust me on that one.”
