I thought the episode was good up until baby Khan's room, with his name scribbled on the name plate. That was dumb on the nose poo poo. So I guess even if we had the ability, we really can't and shouldn't go back in time and kill baby Hitler.

Everyone knows that if you go back in time and assassinate Hitler, the Soviets will invade Europe with their Tesla tanks.

You fools, you can prevent all 20th century warfare just by going back in time to find the Rubayat, the necklace, and the painting before the Titanic sinks.

Super Deuce posted:I also found the actress playing the future Romulan vampire or whatever the hell she was really sucked at the role. Maybe I looked away or blinked, but why did she die like a Blade vampire? Her personality was nothing like a Romulan at all, also perhaps a pedantic complaint. Romulan acting has been traditionally all over the map, plus she's been pretending to be Canadian for 30 years and developed the accent. I dunno, it was pretty much out of left field. Enough Romulans guys, they're not supposed to be around yet! La'an shouldn't have even recognized the warbird, though I guess in Kirk's reality they've been more visible what with killing Vulcan. as for her turning to dust, she did that herself after being shot by hitting some switch on her shoulder, presumably to avoid her nonhuman corpse being autopsied. Also, Canada starting the Eugenic Wars is now canon. Lum_ fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Jun 29, 2023 |

Parkingtigers posted:As a non-American, part of me was wondering if the location being Toronto was an injoke about how they always film US shows in Toronto and pretend it's America. The whole "we're in New York" followed by "no, Toronto" is a fun way of lampshading that. If that's what they were doing, and I thought it was what they were doing. According to an interview with Paul Wesley that was intentionally the joke.

The actor is Australian, so she presumably was covering that accent with a Canadian one, one that I barely noticed and would be fine for a Romulan trying to fit in. I thought she was good, especially the frustration that came out with the "it was supposed to be done in 1992" line. I am going to guess that scene, about time fixing itself and bending back against temporal agents efforts is the writers way of waving away any small details from Star Trek canon that runs into the modern timeline. Overall, I have really enjoyed this season, the last two episodes in particular. It also reaffirms my theory that Enterprise is never leaving Space Dock/the Solar System and all adventures take place on the ship or Earth or a shuttlecraft ride away. One episode closer to Lower Decks crossover.

Wait what haven't had a chance to watch the EP yet but is the Kirk in this episode supposed to be the jjtrek Kirk? or is there now another alternate timeline in which Vulcan bites it? lmao to either. also I thought we'd be getting more Kirk this season, so I hope alt-timeline Kirk isn't the only one we get. although that might be their deal with not having Kirk/Pike interaction because of the line "I met him once" in TOS

I have never been a fan of trek episodes with time travel to our time, but this episode was great. What is it about SNW that makes it so much better than all the other recent treks? It's all the same tropes and similar writing. Some of the actors are better but not all of them. I just can't put my finger on why SNW is TNG level trek and just soooo good when so many things are very similar to all the bad recent trek. Too bad they don't have money in the future, an authentic brand new 21st century leather jacket and a dive watch from the 80s would probably be worth quite a bit on the ebay of the future.

As for all the Kirk appearances being timey-wimey stuff, I think it's a pretty neat callback to the fact that it's one of the TOS characters *not* rebooted in this series. Wouldn't be surprised if we see McCoy or Sulu at some point.

As for more Kirk this season, the trailer showed at least one more Kirk appearance as an Lt. so maybe mainstream Kirk has more than a Skype call this season

that episode was great, i think it was probably the best of the series so far not much to comment on that hasn't already been brought up i guess, really good writing for a change. the whole thing had "the city on the edge of forever" vibes, right down to the musical interlude right before kirk dies. maybe it was just me but it seemed extremely similar to "goodnight sweetheart", which made me think kirk wasn't going to survive. is there a teaser for next week anywhere? i definitely enjoyed this one but i'd also like them to actually go somewhere else next week
