Thanks for getting this started Tracey.

No worries Chris

Quite a good episode, glad that M'Benga got a storyline and backstory..

- Some of the Enterprise crew are feeling it regarding the Klingon being on board..
- Good to see how M'Benga and Chapel met..
- Ortegas not burying her feelings about it
- Pike doing the Captain thing, I can understand why, but I think he's slightly misjudged his crew here..
- Chapel and M'Benga sticking together in the present and the past...
- Did like Uhura though stepping one positive step forward in regards to the Klingon on board..
- Spock trying to be the helpful boyfriend
- Glad Una told Pike that they need to get the Klingon off the ship, Una could read the room.
- M'Benga is holding a big secret back there and the Klingon taking the credit..
- Good to see Pike and M'Benga telling the audience that they have know each other a long time..

With what happened, I wonder if, down the road, this will come back to haunt M'Benga...

So weird seeing Nurse Chapel in some black clothing in the pic above.

Didn't get him off the ship quick enough.
Didn't expect the Klingon to end up dead.

What was that System Alarm at the end there?

I think it was regarding the bio bed faulting again

Chris

While it was nice to get the backstory for Christine and M'Benga, I didn't really care for all the war scenes.

Great honesty amongst the crew regarding not being able to just forget about the atrocities and move on. Glad Una finally got Pike to realize that he was asking too much of the crew members who had first hand experience of the war.

Not an episode I'm likely to watch again.

Yeah wish we had a bit more seeing the division of the crew regarding the visitor than the war scenes

Chris

Me too. There was a little bit of that, but not much.

Found it odd that Pike didn't seem to have more personal experience with the war. Or at least have lost very close friends.

Me too..

Chris

Terrific acting from Babs Olusanmokun and Jess Bush showing their characters inner struggles.

crazy_diamond

great episode for them

wickedrum

a serious episode was way overdue but it was a rather jarring change of tone after all the funnies.

Chris

the serious tone was quite the departure after all the more light hearted episodes.

crazy_diamond

think it should have been a couple of episode before..
