A note about episode discussions on startrek.website
Right now, the plan is to post the /c/startrek discussion when the episode drops on Thursdays. Once the global community has had some time to watch and digest what they’ve seen, the /c/daystrominstitute discussion will go live on Sundays for a more in-depth analysis. This is subject to change as we evaluate what works best for the community as a whole.
I really enjoyed this one. It felt fun. Who doesn’t love a good “steal the Enterprise” plot?
They’re clearly gonna push the Chapel/Spock ship. I’m broadly fine with this but I do wonder how they will reconcile it with canon Spock/Chapel (or if they’ll just abandon it - which I’m also fine with).
I don’t really have an issue with the green super drug. I hope we get to hear more about their time together during the Klingon War. Guessing we will based on this. But it was a cool sequence and I’m good with it.
I’m curious if that fake Federation ship was a variant of the Crossfield or just something cobbled together by those folks. I imagine we’ll get some clarification from the design people at some point.
Loving the current Klingon design. I didn’t really mind the Disco re-imagining but this feels like a good compromise. And that Spock made peace over bloodwine. And ended up with a hangover.
And, for me, I’m fine with The Joke. I like Ortegas’ and the background that some Captain says “Zoom!” Spock’s left a bit to be desired, but I laughed.

I think they were setting Chapel up to go off for a couple of months, which is probably where she’ll meet her future fiance.
