Great episode. Loved the whole Pike storyline this episode. It's a great series to have him see the future we know he has and chose it anyway.
The secondary story with the crew was great, It was so refreshing.
Strong setup for the next episode.

Another great podcast. Y'all helped my grouchy self enjoy some bits of the episode that I missed amid the things that bothered me. So, that's cool!
So I rewatched Voyager End Game tonight after seeing some mentions about Adm. Janeway getting a chroniton deflector from the Klingons. I had totally forgotten about this. So I wonder if this is the genesis of the idea that Klingons are the keepers. It does beam green as well. I’d also forgotten how much I love that finale. I don’t know why people hate it. I think it’s about the best show finale of all the series. (But I am NOT a fan of All Good Things. Heresy, I know. )
I can’t find it! I went to the page here and only see Glenn pouring a drink.
Besides the reaction of current Pike, I have to wonder what future Pike was thinking when confronted with the apparition of himself at the moment of decision. Was he screaming No with a voice that no longer exists or was he accepting of what happened. I like to think he was rolling out the door on his way to be transported to Talos IV and one second later Spock came through that door.
Podcast response: Re: privacy. Lol. In my family no one would but my BFFs family barely let’s someone leave the room before they are on the horn to the rest of the family.
Yes! Someone else who loved the Kirk in a cave feel!
Wait. WHERE IS THE PHOTO?????!
I love the action of Pike immediately feeling for his badge. His tether and then reciting what amounts to a mantra for him. So touching.
I guess I figured it was that the person wanting to remove the crystal had to pay the price. So I therefore like the idea it applies specifically to that person. I think the same would be for whoever actually took the time suit crystal.
I guess I like that monastery being different because it’s a place unto
it’s own. Boreth is special and so is this Klingon monk And the Time chapel. (See everything does sound cooler with time in front of it. ) We’ve always known not all Klingons can be equally warrior like. It’s kind of nice seeing one of the sub-cultures.
I got a little bored today and made this. Lol. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv5DNAEFzaS/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=1vngilb84h4e9
He’s my hero. I mean how did they take a famous Captain from 50 years who we really didn’t know THAT much about and seriously propel him to. The. Top? Did you notice his hair is greyer??
I really enjoyed the episode, but If Memory Serves is still probably my favorite. Loved Reno. Loved her scene with Culber. She really snuck in drawing him out about weddings and then just turned into no nonsense Jett and brought it home. “I didnt get A second chance. You do. Don’t mess it up.”
Anyone who tells me Time crystals are magical I’m just going to say yeah so are Orbs and everyone loves them. Lol. I know it has its weaknesses but the character stories are not one of them and they are bringing me along fine. They’d just better not pull a Kern in order to “explain whybSpick never mentioned Burnham (as though we were with Spock every hour and year) and wipe his memory or something. It’s the one thing that makes me nervous is that continual “promise” To fans who probably won’t be happy no matter what they do.
