Hegemony, Part II
I appreciated the continued exploration of the Gorn as a truly alien alien species. All the stuff with their different sensory modes, and solar-associated life cycles, is a lot of fun to me.
It also seems like they've written the Gorn off as a going concern, which I think is fine. This is a good place to leave it until "Arena" - they even added some dialogue about the various Gorn stories being somewhat vague, so there's some wiggle room for them to seem a little different when they're encountered again in the future.
They managed to film the AR wall in a way that didn't just seem like a round room, which I appreciate.
Wedding Bell Blues
Give this show all the makeup and costuming awards immediately.
It was a fun romp, and I always like it when two opposing characters have to team up against the universe. I could have done with more dancing at the end - it seems like the actors put in a lot of work for a fairly brief scene.
I've never been a big fan of drawing a connection between Trelane and the Q, so I'm glad neither was mentioned by name (Edit: I think...?).
Please give me a Sam Kirk spinoff that runs for 50 years.
Nothing here has disprove my theory that Batel has died and Pike is hallucinating.
The entire series is set in a snow globe on Sam Kirk's mantle, in the home where he lives to be 147.
And he moves into a nursing home with McCoy, right?
