We are not ready for First Contact yet.

The real Vulcan was the friends that we made along the way.

well yeah, but come on! Don’t you realize the cloaking device was probably on?  It’s there.  We know it, you know it, we all know it.

It’s a Vulcan deception. They distorted the data so we wouldn’t keep watching and notice them.

Or they have a cloaking device.

That’s just because Nero went back further in time and destroyed it.

Logical.

Really enjoyed it tbh, my favorite episode of Who in the last several years. You're right that the specifics kinda fall apart under closer examination, but I'm glad we got this over a version where they felt like they had to explain every aspect of the horror/monster story they were essentially telling.

And I have pretty much everything you could want from a service, including basic…

Thanks! I forgot about Bryce transferring out. I was definitely thinking mostly about Owosekun and Detmer, both of whom did great with what they were given, I’d just like to see them get a lot more.

Takes me back to my high school days where I’d practice my sax every day to Phantom Menace sheet music

Legit chills. Beautiful.

I applaud anyone who learns to play a musical instrument. Bravo.
