    I am enjoying these Shorts

    This one is my favorite so far. I love Number One and, of course Spock. Una begins to shape the young ensign as only a commander can tutelage a brilliant mind. Her mentorship of young Spock is interesting to ponder as now we can think of two brilliant people Spock had when he first entered Starfleet; Captain Pike and Number One. Kudus!

    Because you like a Lollipop,sometimes you are satisfied just with the stick .

    -I'm a Star Trek fan since i've started to like the sci-fi genre,but i still cant understand why they bring us such weird uniforms, just try to remember we grow up watching those, cool uniforms from Babylon 5,Andromeda,Stargate Sg-1,way back in the 90's and for those like me the new mustard and ketchup colored uniforms are looking just like some circus uniforms from a 70's Batman movie,you should be ashamed by yourself,i would fire all the make-up team ,the FX team and all the costume designers at once,because they are certainly not fit for a modern sci-fi show ,Number One looks like her breasts and her bottom are just about to explode under so called millitary and exploration uniforms,her face is too white compared with that artificial black hair color making her to look just like a failed trek version of Harley Queen running from a prison kitchen ,this is just as horrible as the aesthetics of the Lower Decks animation with those skinny frog legs and those frog eyes.I know the old fans are hanging by anything which looks like something from the old times ,but this is too much,i think i will enjoy The Mandalorian more than these new Trek shows ,even if i still don't like to see the planets exploding.The characters are looking very unreal,and i'm wondering how much space is between two decks ,because the commander is looking like she is about to be lifted on the top of a mountain and she doesn't look like a person who can hang herself with just one hand for more than a minute. I just watched a doc from an Youtube channel ,The 5th Kind ,named The book of Enoch P.2-The Watchers and the Nephilim and i was stunned to see how great they design the space stations,the spaceships ,the future cities and the landscape from the space and planets and i invite the produces to see how a REAL pro is thinking and i bet those guys don't have your spectacular budget and i'm also more impressed by that Efrosian from the new Axanar production ,because they are still one of us and not just some old fans who are now selling their souls for this new shows. Those so called fans mocked the look of the Klingons and the look of the Tellarites and Andorians even if they know the old fans love the look of Shran and the look of Worf so please don't use this new aesthetic of the aliens in the next series if you are still care of us as long time fans.

    The safety measures are missing.

    This was a good episode,although i would like to see Rebbeca's natural hair color,because she looks gorgeous ,if she will appear later in the series,because anyway her character had only one apparence in the original series so i don't think this will break the continuity already teared up in pieces by Star Trek Discovery.I think also they made her character way too excited (not in a sexually way) and a little too cocky and childish ,she doesn't act like a real millitary (or Starfleet) senior officer at all,i guess the writers don't have any kind of millitary experience at all,you can see that.I really don't understand why the devices for safety precautions are totally missing from the saving operation,because ,even in our days this kind of devices are imposed by the law ,even in small countries in course of development,but i guess a writer doesn't have how to know things like that sitting in the front of a writting table ,also i really don't understand why they used a such a weird and dangerous saving operation instead using the teleportation to beam the two officers from the turbolift. I hope my comments are not sounding too mean because this is not my intention at all.There are another scientific observations about the design of the decks ,but i will keep those observations for myself.This was a pretty good episode although i still cant get used with their uniforms,Enterprise ,for example, had great uniforms and that series ended almost 15 years ago.Sci-fi shows are supposed to be based partially on the science,but you can't tell that watching any actual Star Trek production ,excepting the canon breaker Star Trek Beyond and Star Trek Picard recent trailers.

    The transporters are...er..broken...

    It's the only possible reason they don't just get beamed out of there.

    There's also a LOT of empty hollow space in the Enterprise apparently, judging by the external shots of the turbolift. They should have filled that space with useful rooms, like they did on the original series etc.

    Near the end Number One seems to be worried Spock is going to tell someone that she sung a short snippet of a song, something we all fear.

    Oh and if you're being hauled up a vast tubolift shaft, don't worry about a harness - just grab the hand of the rescuer all the way up. You'll (probably) be fine.

    The Short Trek Short Q & A is absolutely worth it's weight in gold. The wonderful maahup of Spock and Una stuck together in a turbo lift is the absolute best; this is why I still love Star Trek all of these years later! Yes, I have been watching Star Trek from the very beginning and it just keep getting better!

    • Trivia
      The first officer's PADD lists her name as Lt Commander Una. Una means one in both Spanish and Italian, and in the original pilot The Cage (1966), Captain Pike referred to this character only as "Number One".
    • Quotes

      Spock: What are the three most salient facts about Captain Pike?

      Number One: One, his capacity for hearing out another point of view is exceeded only by his willingness to change his own once he's heard you out. Two, even though he is the most heavily decorated fighting captain in Starfleet, he views resorting to force as an admission of failure. And three... he is utterly unsentimental except when it comes to horses.
