Great finale. Did a far better alternate timeline/time travel story in one hour than Picard season 2 managed in ten.

Loved the Romulan ship and its plasma weapon. And the TOS music when the Romulan was revealed.

I vaguely thought there was maybe supposed to have been something between Pike and La'an after she hugged him but I guess it was just to show how she softens in the next seven years.

Ortegas apparently goes from being "happy go lucky pilot" to "a bit of a racist" in seven years!

Scotty's voice made me lol.

Not really sold on Kirk's actor yet: Sam says he "gets by on charm" but he didn't seem all that charming? A bit stony faced. And it's not just that he's different from Shatner; Ethan Peck as Spock doesn't do a Nimoy impersonation but when he raises his eyebrow in that certain way he's recognisably Spock (but different!) Anyway, he was fine for this story.

I trust you all stayed for the post credit scene of Hemmer and his baby Gorn "children"? Huge twist!

WYNONNA!

Future Pike STILL HOT.

Yeah, this Captain Kirk was not good. He doesn't have the spirit of Captain Kirk. Also, not hot, and too nerdy.

I like how they got the lighting on the characters' eyes, like in TOS.

I'm an engineer, not a miracle worker, Mr Spock. lol

grrrr, Wynonna.

She was getting revenge for Pike sleeping with that child-killing alien woman.

They must have cut it from the version you watched.
