This episode of SNW presents us with one of the classic time travel episodes that we know all too well from the episodic Star Trek series.
Of course, a case-of-the-week format can't reinvent the wheel here, and so the development of the story remains linear and the quest is really mastered along the way.
What the episode does excel at, however, and this is where it ties in with the qualities of TOS, TNG or even VOY, is giving characters depth and letting us participate in the inner lives of its protagonists.
Meanwhile, the episode once again shows an understanding by the scriptwriters of the authoritative coolness and humor that characterizes the great captains of Star Trek and that otherwise Captain Pike brilliantly represents.
TLDR: A condensed story that leaves science and hurdles to the left to let its characters shine.
