Logline

Written by Henry Alonso Myers & Akiva Goldsman

Directed by Chris Fisher

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.

Fun episode, but bits and pieces always felt a little off. Pelia was fantastic - love seeing competent non-main-characters in any sort of fiction.

Chapel/Spock... ugh. Not so much.

Whats with the wierd "Crossfield" class?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

I'm going with the thought that others have posted, since it's probably quite unlikely that the Klingons just stole an entire ship, that this ship must've been hacked together out of salvage from the War.

I bet we're going to see that Pelia was involved in things during the ENT era, and possibly also that she might connect to Scotty too.

Might be the standard Crossfield, with Discovery and Glenn being modified variants to support the spore drive.

Oh my gosh, I agree about Chapel/Spock! I thought I was the only person in the world.
