Darmok, his spear thrown too early.

One of my viewing partners said "They only know humanity from call centers."

So... what was up with the door in the transporter room slamming shut in Pike's face when he turned to leave Amanda and Spock? lol

SpaceX pretty much kept US Spaceflight alive between the time of the Space Shuttle, and... whatever comes out next. Tesla corporation has proven to the rest of the car manufacturers, and other startups, that the way of the future is not via burning fossil fuels.

Elon showed the world what a shitheel he was after that.

So, I'm pretty sure that this dialogue was written before Elon became the obvious shitheel that he is now. And, as many point out, mirror universe Elon Musk might've been even more instrumental to their world, than ours.

If I remember correctly, the very first scene of S1E1 was Batel waking up in Pike's bed, so.. yeah :D

and subverting the "hero goes back in time to kill a mass murderer" trope, with "hero goes back in time to save a mass murderer"

I think they broke into that facility pretty easily. Why did the door open in response to La’an’s DNA? Isn’t Khan just a little kid? Can he enter and leave as he pleases? I thought he was like an experiment they are trying to keep under wraps.

Seems Khan and all the other kids are probably derived from older Noonien-Singh DNA, considering the name of the facility.

La'An fell head over heels for someone who had never heard of her. Absolutely makes sense. An entire lifetime of being treated differently, because everyone knows. Even if they don't treat her negatively, they still know.

This Kirk was the first person since grade school that she met someone who didn't know.

Absolutely makes sense.

Pelia remembers it, that meeting was before the timelines diverged, so it happened in the current timeline.

I own 2 98's and a 97, the first 98 is now a parts car. Here's my most recent acquisition, I've had it about a year now.

Just grabbed the first part on DVD, as everyone's sold out of Blu-Rays, and I don't even own a functional BR player... plenty of third-party sellers on Amazon seem to have it in stock, whereas Amazon's got it marked as "shipping in 1-2 months" which likely means they are out of stock and hoping to get more, which might not happen.

I'd like to have the rest of it, but I suppose there's always sailing the seas for it.

I'm here, and as long as this community keeps going, I think I probably will remain. Especially since my login is through a community that I am trying to actively participate in growth of.

I’m not seeing much activity from any Michigan SRA. And none in or around Kalamazoo area.

Does anyone know if there is any active groups?
