re: #168 Kilroy was here

Captain Pike is a ray of sunshine. I had hope until the episode three of this season. It was a hot mess. I think the worst Star Trek Episode.. in history. That covers a lot of ground.

The third episode was sort of the distillation of all that was bad about the first season: the horrible “new look” of the Klingons, the fourth-wall breaking efforts to address the total disconnect between this series and prevailing Trek canon, the whole Mirror Universe BS, Section 31, etc.

The first two episodes felt like classic Trek. The third? Felt like bad fanfiction.
