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’m doing my first watch of TOS and the instrument that Spock picks up is the same as in TOS 1x02. That was a cool little reference.
I thought it was a nice tough that we got to see how playing became a habit for him. We’ve seen him play more than once over the years, so this was a nice bit of backstory.
