[Enterprise is Great]

His future self explains it with just beeps?

 

[Dukhat]

His future self explains it with just beeps?

Or his illusionary self from Talos IV.

 

[Photoman15]

His future self explains it with just beeps?

Naa. If it was, then he wouldn't have been so "animated" when Spock kidnapped him to bring "Beepy" to Talos IV (in TOS).

 

[marillion]

Que Veruca Salt - "I WANT IT NOW!!"

 

[yenny]

Or his illusionary self from Talos IV.

I thought the same thing. That it was all in Pike head and the Talosians has something to do with it.

 

[shapeshifter]

His future self explains it with just beeps?

ETA . OMG! OMG! OMG! 10++

 

[Yistaan]

Even Pike's future self hates him. I find it very hard to believe that a future Pike, who presumably can time travel anywhere and anytime he wants, has literally no other option to avert the galaxy ending bad future he's from other than telling his past self to go get fried. It's like Picard taking Kirk right up to Soran to die, instead of going back in time to the Enterprise when Soran was onboard and taking him into custody.

Since the former is what actually happened, I don't put too much faith in the thought processes of Starfleet officers.

 

[Rahul]

I'm not ready yet for this season to end!

 

[TRON JA307020]

I can't believe this is the last episode of the season. Its going to be a year until we see more. They need to up the episode count to maybe 13. Well at least we got 10 wholly individual adventures to think about unlike other shows that only have one adventure per 10 or 13 episode season.

So excited for people to see #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds finale, cause I loved it when I saw it. And, no spoilers, but folks may wish to catch up on some of the best early episodes of The Original Series… for no particular reason.

So maybe they'll show more 'reimagined' TOS events than just Balance of Terror?

 

[Airmandan]

What I want to know is how does Pike being there make the events of BOT worse? Somehow it has gone from one Romulan vessel attacking border outposts to what apparently is a full-on engagement with multiple vessels.

 

[Tuskin38]

IMDb credits a Megha Sandhu in this episode (No character name), and she posted on Instagram 6 weeks ago that she has a small part in SNW.

No idea if she's related to Gia Sandhu, can't find anything connection on google. It's possible it just isn't widely known.

Tune in tomorrow.

My thinking is that it's to show that in trying to screw with an immovable fate, it's best to just leave things as is and let life take its course. He may end up affecting more lives and more people dying from his own interests, which may be a slap in the face to him and he may reckon a little more with his fate.

 

[IMC Headquarters]

So Pike is Future Guy!!! Whodathunkit?

 

[Airmandan]

Tune in tomorrow.

tomorrow, hell, I'm going to be up all night waiting for this episode to drop

Oh my gosh I thought today was Tuesday. Cool. I might stay up all night. What time do they usually drop the ep?
