Possibly it's just Halloween and M’Benga is being appropriately metal about it?

Alright, when you toss Skull Dukat on there, he really fits with what appears to be the vial of Austin Powers' stolen mojo, up on the second shelf.

Pike and Ortegas are having too much fun. lol even La'an's dog has an outfit. Hey, Hemmer is still alive and around. And also having a blast. Haha M'Benga's daughter is shipping chars / writing space fanfic. That was a nice, bittersweet ending. I'm glad they wrapped up that plotline but idk it seemed too soon and a bit unsatisfying. Still a really fun episode.

I'd be lying if I said my eyes weren't wet when it became obvious he'd leave the daughter behind. I'd be lying if I said it didn't get worse when she came back to tell him he did the right thing. Decent episode but I had a couple of problems. Firstly, the incredible closeness to "gently caress yeah science" or "I loving love science." Any time something resembles Discovery writing, I start to recoil like I smelled vomit. Secondly, I don't know what combination of director/editor/cinematographer/showrunner caused it to happen, but there were a lot of really lovely cuts in the episode. The fight scenes had 400% more cuts than necessary which made none of the action look cohesive and there were numerous times where someone was making a face or looking in a direction and the next cut had them giving a different expression and looking in a different direction. This must have been a really rough episode to produce. I want to know what M'Benga's face looks like shaved. He has the most intense cheek bones I've ever seen and I bet he's an Adonis w/o the beard. It was nice seeing everyone stretch their acting chops a bit but Anson Mount ate every loving scene he was in. Edit: gently caress, I was right.

Carry On Pike was pretty fun, but I think I preferred how Spock/Uhura/Ortegas were playing the whole thing completely straight. You have professional star fleet officers pretending to be fairytale characters, you don't need jokes on top of that, it's already funny!

Picard S2E1 and E2 feel like a completely different, much better show than the rest of the season, it was extremely disappointing to realize the bulk of the season would be everybody pairing off and wandering around modern LA and a French basement

That episode was amazing. It felt like some unused script from TOS that got dusted off and a few details changed. I'm glad they resolved the daughter in the buffer plot because it really tied the writers' hands to never be able to have the ship completely lose power or suffer major systems-wide failures. It did feel like they sort of speedran that plot thread by having three of the first eight episodes directly relate to it. As much as I absolutely love the serialized plot of later DS9 whatever allows SNW to continue having stand-alone adventures without ten minutes of "previously on" is okay in my book.

That was one of my favorite Trek episodes of all time. I usually don't really care for the weird "stuck in a fantasy land/holodeck" type episodes, but this one was just so good. The crew hamming it up was amazing, especially Pike, you could just feel how much fun he was having. It seemed like everybody was on the verge of laughing at any moment and I really really hope we get a bloopers reel of this episode as I bet it is epic. Best Trek show since TNG by far.

They managed to balance broad comedy and tragedy while tacking it to bizarre sci-fi shenanigans (is this the first Boltzmann Brain in Trek?). This show is something special.

I'm very impressed with the tonal line walked here. Based on the premise alone I thought I was gonna be really bored and maybe even not enjoy that episode, but they pulled every aspect of it off surprisingly well.

I was glad to see a little bit of wiggle in Hemmer's antennae, but I wish they were as expressive as they made them on Enterprise. They were always squirming all over the place in that show... animatronics? I'm glad to see Hemmer isn't just a curmudgeon but he has a fun side, too.

Ortega's haircut reminds me of a guy when I was in tech school who didn't have a haircut when we needed to do formation, so he just took clippers around his ears and didn't fade it into the rest of his hair. Anyways, this was a great episode. I love this show.

What an absolutely exceptional episode. This show owns. Glad they got some good quality time with Hemmer on this one too, although I do echo the sentiment that Enterprise's Andorians were and still are the best looking version of that species, largely because of yeah, the antenna movements they did really accentuated Shran and company's expressions.
