A fantastic little short to kick of this new batch. This managed to conjure up an almost warm and cosy atmosphere, and it filled the itch I had during Discovery season 2 to see Rebecca Romijn be given more to do. Ethan Peck continues to grow into the role of Spock and here he perhaps did more to warm me to him than he did during the main show. I really want to see more of the adventures of this Pike's Enterprise.
My geeky observations: * If this is Spock's first day on board the Enterprise, then this should fit chronologically a short while before 'The Cage', and is set in 2254. * Confirmation that Number One's name is actually Una. * The Pirates of Penzance song appeared previously in an episode of Star Trek: TNG which also involved characters stuck in a turbolift ('Disaster'). * I don't quite understand the crazy turbolift system still. * A Futurama reference by having the engineer on the com be "WELSHYYYYY!"? Probably not, but ha. * Once again, the Enterprise bridge is a stunning set. * Spock's laugh filled me with joy.
