I’m not happy with how the episode with the gorn ended. I really really liked Hemmer as a character and his arc was cut short way too early.

I don’t normally get upset about character deaths as I know they happen, but they don’t usually happen to a “main character” and I feel like he got the Tasha Yar end of the stick.

I found myself upset saying that’s bullshit at the end when they killed the last Gorn :/

☹️😢

      Do you mean Scotty? Bones is the doctor.

        Technically both before this show is over. I’m still expecting the last episode to have all the crew in place and Kirk taking the command.

      I think you mean Scotty in engineering.

      Or, if you mean that McCoy should be unchallenged in his dominance of saltiness…

      In either case, as with Kirk, there was and is no reason to rush any of their introductions for at least a couple of seasons. While some legacy characters draws seem to be something dictated from Paramount above, they are crowding out the development of the original characters in the show.

      Adding Uhura to a crew that already had young Spock was already a heavy legacy character load. Fridging a great character and performance to advance her growth is a lazy writer’s shortcut, and doing it with the first main cast person a disability is unworthy of Trek values.

      I really hope they cast Bruce Horak in another role if we’re not going to see Hemmer brought back to life.
