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!
