Logline
Returning to a planet that dredges up tragic memories, Captain Pike and his landing party find themselves forgetting everything, including their own identities as he confronts a ghost from his past.
I wrote this as I was watching:
- Since when have Batel and Pike have a history? Was she in season 1?
- I wish they had a tone warning at the beginning of the episode, also I thought the tones went for a little too long each time.
- Lol this is the anti-Spock world. “Your emotions are your truth.” Maybe Spock should have been on the planet surface as well.
- Did Spock forget how to read?
- Did the Enterprise not feel the effects in the previous mission? Did they forget to record it or make personal logs?
If I remember right, she’s in the very first scene of SNW. A bearded Pike in Alaska riding a horse to a cabin where they’re staying together. She’s gently needling him about whether he should go back to a command. I think she’s about to leave to go back to her ship after a vacation together. Something like that.
Good Lord they established that Pike and Batel have a relationship in the first episode.
@cyberic @ValueSubtracted She was in S1E1, scene 1. She was trying to get him to leave his cabin and get back to work.
I rewatched the beginning and around 10:17 Spock mentioned that the collision was hundreds of years ago, so they should have felt the effects on the previous mission. Then in the shuttle they mention that the meteor was already there for thousands of years… So I’m just more confused why the memory effects weren’t there before.
They said in the episode that the original mission had been so short (4 hours if I recall correctly), Pike’s crew had not felt the effects.
