I'm all about these Short Treks, but 7 minutes of story time? .... come on, I'm paying for this damn subscription ... waiting for January (season 3 of Discovery and Star Trek Picard) and this is all I get?
The story here is really simple which is to be expected in these shorts, but this one is REALLY simple.
It's a "woke" short. One which I really don't think the cadet was acted very well (Amrit Kaur). Hell, I would have just stunned Pike to shut him up.
But Anson Mount just makes this thing palatable. His performance as Pike never disappoints, not even when the script is sub-par.
Nothing gained or lost here. It's just a little blip (really little) in the Star Trek universe.
I'm not unhappy I watched it. I did think 1701's warp core looked pretty cool.
Pike, #1, Spock... new series... make it so!!
