I am so late to this. I was up at the cottage for the long weekend and missed the episode until today.
Khan could be my neighbour.
This was a classic Star Trek episode.
Out of all the time travel episodes Star Trek has ever done, in how many of them have they gone back in time to when the episode first aired.
I can remember two where they didn't.
Hold up.
The ~~Klingons~~ Romulans go back in time to ~~save~~ ~~JFK~~ kill Khan? And ~~Spock~~ La'an has to ~~kill~~ save him?
Wasn't this the original plot of Star Trek II?
A little late to the game but I really loved this episode.
Only thing that didn’t quite make sense to me was the romantic connection between La’an and Kirk. It felt forced - and I feel like the episode would’ve been just as strong without it. Just them bonding as friends, who are going through this deeply traumatic time travel experience together - would’ve been more than enough.
I can appreciate that La’an would be more vulnerable as a result Kirk not knowing her family name, but she oggled him in the changing room before that was revealed. Seemed out of character.
Otherwise, I’m really curious to see what kind of timeline implication all of this will have - and if the watch will make way back in the series somehow.
