    Thoughts as I watch:

    • So, I’m wondering: is Cayuga a reference to Rod Serling? He named his production company that in reference to the lake in New York.

    • Relationships suck when you are a Starfleet captain who knows your destiny to one day be in a beepie chair.

    • Rigel 7, a deep cut!

    • We have gone (ZERO) days without some sort of Starfleet prime directive problem.

    • Finally, some Ortegas action!

    • “THE HAT IS SUPREME.” I’m going to have to use that in conversation.

    • Oh man, at least she keeps the hat.

    • “Subdermal universal translators” are the new translation microbes

    • Oh boy, they have starfleet tech.

    • Ah, we’ve got a good old-fashioned “Federation citizen takes over a world” episode!

    • “This is a cage.” Heh.

    • Forgetting is a scary side effect for a planet.

    • I get that they were only on there for like four hours, but shouldn’t they have noticed stuff like this their last visit? Or maybe… THEY LOST

    • “Welcome to Memento/50 First Dates Planet”

    • Can still remember how to fight!

    • So I’m guessing Spock is probably one of the more resistant to all of this due to his Vulcan-ness.

    • Man, La’An is having a REALLY bad pair of weeks.

    • Captain Pike even without his memories is still Captain Pike. Makes sense.

    • Okay, I guess Spock isn’t immune.

    • Glad to see the Connie class had GPS.

    • I gotta admit, I feel like Pelia would be good in this episode given just how many memories she has to lose and how many skills she has.

    • SHE FLIES THE SHIP

    • The ship’s computer is great this week.

    • Damn, that is some tough silverware, standing up to phaser blasts.

    • Is it just me or is that a fresco or whatever of Alexander the Great… Zac-ized?

    • Okay, that logic doesn’t quite seem sound, but whatever.

    • So, uhm, be careful about telling her about the Beepy-chair, Chris.
