Damn I read the ideas for Star Trek: The Beginning. Besides the stupid name it sounds like an awesome idea to see the first Earth - Romulan war and have something bridge the gap between ENT and TOS

This episode had me crying, it was so beautiful and strong. Especially the part where La’an is told that she isn’t a monster. The thing is while yes this is a fictional case, as someone that is trans irl, it hits home strong…

Adding to green drug thing, as I don’t know how to edit here. I could see it being something created maybe by M’benga or some angry, traumatized federation soldiers during the war to get back at the Klingon’s, potentially being illegal in the federation but very localized here.

WE ARE BACK!!! :D

I feel like I have waited so long and it was worth it, while at first I wasn’t bought entirely on the action, it really came together at the end.

I loved the entire part of Spock stealing the Enterprize for the first time of many and April’s unintentional implications for the future. SNW keeps proving it has the Trek energy, yes it might stumble some, I can understand questions about magic steroids (it’s a bit out there even for me but I am also surprised it took this long to have it, but maybe its not meant for combat actually but some medical thing?)

But it doesn’t change that the quality of this show is so high, this really manages to capture the feelings of the older series, DS9 and TNG but also with a certain high quality to it.

Loved seeing the Crossfield get another showing and how the D7 has become the mainstay. I like that we get some more traditional trek ships out there. That feel like the older ones.

Klingon blood wine drinking with Spock was amazing.

I also loved Pellia and haven’t heard of the lanthenians before but something about the half crazy old lady character is just amazing.

I laughed so much, felt so much heart warming. But then also feeling my heart ripped out with the memory to Nichelle and seeing that she has passed. I remember reading it but had kinda lost track of it.

I am so looking forward to more episodes of this <3
