A note about episode discussions on startrek.website

Right now, the plan is to post the /c/startrek discussion when the episode drops on Thursdays. Once the global community has had some time to watch and digest what they've seen, the /c/daystrominstitute discussion will go live on Sundays for a more in-depth analysis. This is subject to change as we evaluate what works best for the community as a whole.

I thought the fight scene was kinda out-of-character for a doctor and a nurse. If anyone would have an inherent respect for life and health of other beings, you'd expect it to be medical workers: beating them up is just highly unethical. Why couldn't they have used subterfuge to achieve the same goals?

He might be doctor, but he also served in the war and from what it looks like the front lines. Same goes for the nurse.

That confused me a bit, were M'benga and Chapel not serving in the Enterprise during its last five year mission, which we were told they were not called back from to fight?

In the season one premiere, it was clear that both M’Benga and Chapel had just rotated onto the Enterprise while she was under repair.

Pike knew M’Benga and was please to see him, but didn’t expect to find him in sickbay. Chapel was introduced to Pike as a civilian on assignment.

Fair dos, that must have slipped my memory.

I thought that too - even moreso how much it took me out of the show to see them take on three klingons per person. Still a great show and decent episode, but that bit did take me out a bit

those were klingons. they basically did them a favor, engaging in a fight
