I liked this better than the first teaser that implied that Vulcans are logical because of genetics which is 100% not the case and undercuts every Vulcan character to date. ---

And it’s back! I liked lighter episode 2 more than serious episode 1. And we get a SDMB-adjacent reference to North American cereal farming! ---

Rhys Darby is really channeling Trelane, the Squire of Gothos, even in dress. Love the Twilight Zone reference, especially as so beloved here on the SDMB. OK, so he was playing Trelane, weird. But we finally have canonical confirmation that Trelane is a Q. ---

Retcon headache, though. When we see Trelane “later” (38 years ago), his daddy was voiced by [Bart La Rue](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Bart_La_Rue). Unless we’re going to get a remastered remaster to change that to John DeLancie’s voice? ---

It was a fun episode but there is no way it fits continuity. Even going back to when Peter David wrote (a really good) book about it. Trelane used technology to aid his powers. The Q have said they couldn’t reproduce until they did so in Voyager (although the Voyager stuff was after the book was published). Really all Trelane had in common with Q were vast powers and being a pain in the ass and there are plenty of alien races in Star Trek that fit that criteria. And that doesn’t even cover why Spock et al. would have no memory of dealing with him here when they meet him “again” in the Squire of Gothos. ---

Spock learned his power set. Would it not jog his memory? ---
