Thoughts as I watch:

  • So, I'm wondering: is Cayuga a reference to Rod Serling? He named his production company that in reference to the lake in New York.

  • Relationships suck when you are a Starfleet captain who knows your destiny to one day be in a beepie chair.

  • Rigel 7, a deep cut!

  • We have gone (ZERO) days without some sort of Starfleet prime directive problem.

  • Finally, some Ortegas action!

  • "THE HAT IS SUPREME." I'm going to have to use that in conversation.

  • Oh man, at least she keeps the hat.

  • "Subdermal universal translators" are the new translation microbes

  • Oh boy, they have starfleet tech.

  • Ah, we've got a good old-fashioned "Federation citizen takes over a world" episode!

  • "This is a cage." Heh.

  • Forgetting is a scary side effect for a planet.

  • I get that they were only on there for like four hours, but shouldn't they have noticed stuff like this their last visit? Or maybe... THEY LOST

  • "Welcome to Memento/50 First Dates Planet"

  • Can still remember how to fight!

  • So I'm guessing Spock is probably one of the more resistant to all of this due to his Vulcan-ness.

  • Man, La'An is having a REALLY bad pair of weeks.

  • Captain Pike even without his memories is still Captain Pike. Makes sense.

  • Okay, I guess Spock isn't immune.

  • Glad to see the Connie class had GPS.

  • I gotta admit, I feel like Pelia would be good in this episode given just how many memories she has to lose and how many skills she has.

  • SHE FLIES THE SHIP

  • The ship's computer is great this week.

  • Damn, that is some tough silverware, standing up to phaser blasts.

  • Is it just me or is that a fresco or whatever of Alexander the Great... Zac-ized?

  • Okay, that logic doesn't quite seem sound, but whatever.

  • So, uhm, be careful about telling her about the Beepy-chair, Chris.

The platter cracked me up.

Ensign — “captain…sir…this directive says all away teams will be issued a Pfaltzgraff serving set for protection?”

Pike — “trust me on that one.”
