What? What?? What?!

If that's supposed to look like anything it has failed.

-ZacWilliam, hint?

Let's just say M'Benga wasn't the only doctor on board the Enterprise.

Oh it's the Tardis. What ep and what part is that from?

That wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey Easter Egg is at approximately 11 minutes, 30 seconds (if you're watching ad-free) into the newest episode, when all the cables are connecting to the Enterprise in the first shot we see of her inside the scavenger ship. My wife saw it on TikTok and shared it with me, so I fired up the episode and started scrubbing till I found it. If you don't know where it's at and what you're looking for, the TARDIS is very hard to see. I had to zoom in with my camera to see that it was really there. (to the left of the port nacelle as the camera is moving in towards the saucer section.)

So at the end of the episode I have some gripes and quizzical thoughts. First, the tail of the episode where we learn and talk about the scavengers being descendants of a human mission: it has a superficial feel of Star Trek dealing with a big idea, but it doesn't have the bones of it. That was unneeded and nonvaluable. It was intriguing several times in the episode and once quite explicitly Pelia identifying herself with humans. And...I'm just not getting used to Scotty. I forgive this show for a lot because it does some really great things. It also does some dumb things. I don't know how who this man is. Scotty is older than Kirk, taller than Kirk, and speaks with a light (actually fake) Scottish accent. His demeanor is entirely separate from this little, young man who speaks with a genuine and sometimes very difficult to understand accent. This guy is quippy and sarcastic and rolls his eyes at people. It's just not him at all. I forgave them for giving Christine a personality because it is a pretty good one, but that was just putting one into an empty vessel. They've taken Scotty OUT and replaced him.

Good find but dang, how are people suppose to find these things?

I didn't bond with TOS so I'm fine with changes in the new classic characters cuz I don't notice them.

Except the hair. What's up with the hair in the ep? Uhura and Una had different hair, whaaa
