    Why did the subtitles always spell it as “high jinks” instead of hijinks? Is that some dialectal variant I was unaware of?

    29k km didn’t seem that far in terms of “more than two days away” space travel.

    I liked Pelia’s noodle hair. I also guess I never particularly noticed her bare feet before, now that Starfleet Academy started emphasizing it as a Lanthanite trait or quirk. Or was it not a thing before and they made it a thing for this season?

    When Scotty got free from the weight, I thought the answer would have been Looney Tunes style cartoon physics. Like they can win, but so long as it’s a gag / funny. Maybe they tried doing that and it didn’t quite land.

    I liked the insight into Orion culture, and the way the second in command acted. Sometimes I too just want to be told what to do. Like a vacation for my brain.

    The “it was all a dream” felt like a betrayal. Just kind of wasting my time. At least Spock was developing a little bit.

      Yeah, I think there was a degree of that in the final solution, with La’An running across the walls and making a perfect three-point landing and the like, but they didn’t quite commit to it.

      Puppet Pelia threw her shoes at one of the Orions early on.
