I wonder if they could follow him into the TOS timeline and manage not to conflict with anything in the original show (save the actors and production values). The day after or before some of those old stories might be…fascinating.
As a Torontonian, I have to say there is not NEARLY enough road construction to be real.
That’s the part that really stands out to me. He was a huge part in getting this show going in the first place, and making Season 1 work so well. Now, he’s barely been in half an episode or so.
Star Trek: Down Time.
Every episode is just a few of the crew having drinks, and talking about what happened. “So Kirk opens the hatch to the grain storage, and thousands of tribbles just fall right on his head!”
“No way!”
“Yes way! I swear, it’s like there was someone in there just throwing tribbles at him!”
“traveling through time and killing a guy worse than Hitler.”
Enjoyed it - laughed alot at Peila “Archeology Department” - worth the entire episode.
Did she just leave the gun on the kid’s nightstand?
Definitely the first stand-out episode of this season.
Lower Decks (the series, not the episode) has one possible explanation.
That’s what I kept thinking!
and so it begins…
So while I loved this episode, I am also aware that there is more time travel to come, what with Lower Decks crossover to be and all. That worries me. Star Trek has done one small time travel bits fine … but temporal wars and time agents? That’s where Enterprise went off the rails for me.
Fingers crossed this show pulls it off better.
I thought of that, but I assume security snatched it up immediately after.
-
Alarms were going off everywhere.
-
A guard had been shot, you even hear someone yell something like, “We have a man down!”
-
Unauthorized access to secure areas, including Khan’s room, where the door was standing wide open.
I figure that the guards were seconds away from encountering La’an just before she jumped back to her own time. They came in, Khan told some story about some weird lady that vanished, they confiscated the gun and maybe changed some security protocols afterward.
My personal favorite line, which I caught as soon as he said it, was when Kirk mispronounced La’an’s surname as Noonien-Soong. Because that always confused the fuck out of me, too. Come on, TNG writers!!! (I know that Enterprise tried to retcon an explanation but meh.)
The take on Kirk in episode 3 felt like Kirk and not the cliche of Kirk (most of which comes from the movies and not the series).
I really liked this version of Kirk more than the last portrayal. To the point where I would be cool if he was a regular.
I did notice that they fixed the continuity problem with the original Khan insurrection happening in 1993. It was supposed to happen then, but something got screwed up and it wound up getting delayed a few decades.
Paramount+ only $5.99 for 2 months through Prime until Jul 12th.
I signed up today and set a reminder for August 15th to cancel my Paramount+ subscription then.
So tomorrow I will start catching up on Strange New Worlds finally.
Cool. You’ll love the one with the backstory of how Q made the tribbles. (Although it was an odd choice to recast Justin Bieber as Q.)
”Baby, baby, baby Q…”
Episode 4 was another strong one, I think.
Haven’t finished ep4 yet, and I know there’s a limited number of syllables in English, but aren’t the Kaylon the robot race from The Orville?
ETA oh Kaylar…so different.
