The writers seem to be very cognizant of the timeline. The whole Carol Marcus thing didn't even come up in my mind so I wouldn't be surprised now if they reference Leila. Chapel should be engaged with Dr Korby by the time of we come back.

The only issue is that the short episode order means that there's not a lot of space to devote to something like this. It could be that the whole Leila thing happens offscreen.

In case you are wondering, the Koala says "It's not your time, Bradward Boimler" in reverse.

Is Jerry allowed to do this while on strike?

E: Watching the trailer, they definitely pre-recorded the segments because no way Eugene and Tawny would do this.

Just amazed at how far ahead they planned for the strike, but maybe that's the result of how poorly it went the last time it happened.

Guinan only appears in 29/176 episodes. Yar was in 28/17 6 episodes. So for the majority of the run there's essentially only two main cast.

In Spock's defense... T'Pring was just saying that her mom would cancel the wedding if she found any deviations. Would T'Pring have been able to hide Spock's situation during the mind meld?

I've enjoyed what I've watched from him. It's just so strange that someone who claimed to be a lifelong Trek fan could be a conservative Trump supporter.

I really like the look fo the dress uniforms. Surprised that they never got Pike to the stand, especially after Una confessing that she told Pike 4 months ago.

Now that the cast has been reset, I'm ready for them to explore some strange new worlds.
