i would absolutely buy an official one of these

FormerGameDev ,

yea, I think this really does just fill in his arc, where he’s still learning how to be the Logical Vulcan, and he pushes farther and farther until you get to where he was in TMP, at the complete opposite, attempting to completely abandon all emotion.

Then the rest of his arc after TMP is finding the balance.

FormerGameDev ,

If I remember correctly, the very first scene of S1E1 was Batel waking up in Pike’s bed, so… yeah :D

FormerGameDev ,

hmm. This makes me wonder. Is there a way to link to a specific message thread, that is universal across instances?

If not, it seems like it’s a feature that is sorely needed.

FormerGameDev ,

Outside of Pike and Batel’s relationship, are there any points in this episode that look to connect to anything else in the currently ongoing plotline in SNW? I didn’t really notice anything, it seems like this might be the most standalone episode.

FormerGameDev ,

I thought it was Cuyahoga? correct me if i’m wrong pls

FormerGameDev ,

Thank you!

FormerGameDev ,

I’d like to know what Bones was up to between TOS and TMP

FormerGameDev ,

Someone greatly overestimates the capabilities of 8-bit hardware :D

::: spoiler Logline La’An travels back in time to twenty-first-century Earth to prevent an attack which will alter humanity’s future history—and bring her face to face with her own contentious legacy. :::...

FormerGameDev ,

So… La’an goes back in time to bootstrap paradox Pelia into becoming the engineer she is in the current timeline, and saves Earth’s next Hitler from being killed, because without that, humanity never really gets it’s shit together. And ::speculation alert!!:: maybe her leaving that gun there begins his murderous spree, so maybe she bootstrap paradoxed Khan into being the tyrant he becomes, too.

What a wild ride.

I just … this series… is just so consistently enjoyable. I love it.

FormerGameDev ,

Pelia remembers it, that meeting was before the timelines diverged, so it happened in the current timeline.

FormerGameDev ,

La’An fell head over heels for someone who had never heard of her. Absolutely makes sense. An entire lifetime of being treated differently, because everyone knows. Even if they don’t treat her negatively, they still know.

This Kirk was the first person since grade school that she met someone who didn’t know.

Absolutely makes sense.

FormerGameDev ,

I think they broke into that facility pretty easily. Why did the door open in response to La’an’s DNA? Isn’t Khan just a little kid? Can he enter and leave as he pleases? I thought he was like an experiment they are trying to keep under wraps.

Seems Khan and all the other kids are probably derived from older Noonien-Singh DNA, considering the name of the facility.

and subverting the “hero goes back in time to kill a mass murderer” trope, with “hero goes back in time to save a mass murderer”

FormerGameDev ,

One time to refresh everyone’s memory of how SNW does things, here are the stardates mentioned in season one:

so… how do we reconcile figuring out how stardates work here? it would seem to not be linear.

FormerGameDev ,

Splinter the community, I’m going to stay with the people who went through the mess of setting up a new place that isn’t beholden to Reddit. It may be forever smaller, but of the 600,000 subscribers, how many of them contribute?

FormerGameDev ,

eh, it is what it is, and i’d say not really either. For now, probably nearly everyone that’s staying here is probably a contributing member, but if we continue building and promoting this community, then it will get to a sizeable number of lurkers. As long as we don’t attract bad actors, or bad actors are dealt with swiftly, it’s all good.

FormerGameDev ,

For sure. If this community stagnates, it will eventually die of attrition.

FormerGameDev ,

My thought is that his plotline this season might include some resolution of Klingon War era trauma, of which we’ve been told just a little bit in this episode, and which brings him to carry the super soldier serum on him.
