Logline

La’An travels back in time to twenty-first-century Earth to prevent an attack which will alter humanity’s future history—and bring her face to face with her own contentious legacy.

  • Random thoughts as I watch (cross-posted from the old place):

    • Wow, first that outburst, and then Spock jams too much. Truly in his wild child phase.

    • BTW, was that a Denobulan?

    • Pelia totally worried that this whole utopia thing just a passing trend. And hilariously having to prove (?) she isn’t a thief.

    • They really are taking advantage of Babs O’s Jiu-Jitsu training this year, aren’t they?

    • Captain James T. Kirk, the greatest menace of Temporal Investigations!

    • Oh boy, alternate timeline where the Federation doesn’t exist time!

    • “Maple leaves, politeness, poutine.”

    • Clever distraction.

    • I wonder if 3D chess is a thing in the United Earth Fleet timeline, because Kirk is good at the 2D in it.

    • Okay, I guess they do have 3D Chess.

    • I generally try not to be like this… but goddamn I’d like to thank them for having Christina Chong in various states of tight clothing and undress.

    • Good thing the time travel guy went to the ship Sam Kirk was on.

    • Oh man, I was looking forward to driving across Lake Ontario to Toronto (presumably from Rochester or Buffalo or something, right?), which totally would be a logical economic and engineering choice, I’m sure!

    • Mildly annoyed that Kirk doesn’t drive to Beastie Boys.

    • James Discreet Kirk

    • Soongs gonna break in even to the timelines and series they aren’t in.

    • Jim Discretion Kirk

    • OH FUCK ROMULANS

    • We have gone (zero) days without Romulans trying to screw up the timeline.

    • Probably the first time that DuckDuckGo has been mentioned in Star Trek.

    • Yeah, Pythagoras is the worst, Pelia.

    • Oh, so this is a predestination paradox where they make her become an engineer and as a result she is there to inspire La’An to go look for her later.

    • KHAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! KHAAAAANNNNNNNNN! (Or at least the institute for him)

    • To be fair, this is like the third face that Captain Kirk has had.

    • We have gone (ZERO) days without a time-travelling Romulan that had to ditch the ears.

    • We have gone (ZERO) days without (a) Captain Kirk dying. We’re three-for-three on Kirk actor deaths, folks!

    • KHAAAAAAAAAANNNN! KHAAAAAAANNNN! KHAAAAAAANNNNNN!

    • THEY CAME UP WITH AN EXPLANATION WHY THE EUGENICS WARS DIDN’T HAPPEN IN THE 90’S! THE MAD LADS DID IT!

    • Face to face with great-great-great-great grandpa Baby Genetics-Hitler.

    • Oh, great, temporal investigations. No wonder they hate Kirk so much, even his alternate versions screw stuff around.

    • Good ep. Way better than it sounded when I first heard about it.
