I’m not happy with how the episode with the gorn ended. I really really liked Hemmer as a character and his arc was cut short way too early.

I don’t normally get upset about character deaths as I know they happen, but they don’t usually happen to a “main character” and I feel like he got the Tasha Yar end of the stick.

I found myself upset saying that’s bullshit at the end when they killed the last Gorn :/

But at least we got more Kirk, right?! Right guys?

Yea ...

I really liked the first two episodes (alternative timeline episodes) with Kirk. But more Kirk, that isn't sporadic or kinda in the background, is essentially a distraction from the SNW crew IMO.

Something I can't unsee with Kirk being prominent in SNW is the Riker/Troi appearance in the last episode of Enterprise ... this sort of fan-servicy cameo that kinda makes sense but in reality is an invasion of a series by the bigger starts of another series. That scene in the last Kirk episode where it paused on Uhura, Spock and Kirk sitting around a table together for the first time, while wonderful, really felt like an insult to SNW, not to mention that it didn't actually contribute anything to their relationships/characters in TOS.
