    A very TOS episode that I thoroughly enjoyed!

    Can we let La’an have a few happy moments in this season? That woman must be riddled with PTSD by now.

    It was great to finally get Pike back! Has he ever told his girlfriend that he’s almost certainly going to be disabled? What a pickle he’s in. I think if I were in his shoes I would have let the relationship end. The guilt must be driving him insane.

    I feel like they might be messing around with the timelines so that they can save Pike from his horrendous fate and just say it’s an alternate timeline compared to TOS. Normally I’d be against that, but it’s Pike and I love him so much that I almost want them to do it.

      The nature of a time crystal is that it’s a fixed event in every timeline forward.

      Once Pike drew the crystal on Borath, it was locked in.

        Thanks, I should know that, I’ve seen every episode!

        In a kind of sad way he does have a happy ending. I just don’t want it to happen to him. Poor old Pike!
