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 :/

☹️😢

    Yep. It sucks. Hemmer is a fantastic character and the actor does an outstanding job.

      Yea as much as I like Pelia, Hemmer seemed to round out the crew quite well. With Pelia, the mix leans a bit more “silly/childish”, but with Hemmer it was nicely balanced.

        Yea …

        I really liked the first two episodes (alternative timeline episodes) with Kirk. But more Kirk, that isn’t sporadic or kinda in the background, is essentially a distraction from the SNW crew IMO.

        Something I can’t unsee with Kirk being prominent in SNW is the Riker/Troi appearance in the last episode of Enterprise … this sort of fan-servicy cameo that kinda makes sense but in reality is an invasion of a series by the bigger starts of another series. That scene in the last Kirk episode where it paused on Uhura, Spock and Kirk sitting around a table together for the first time, while wonderful, really felt like an insult to SNW, not to mention that it didn’t actually contribute anything to their relationships/characters in TOS.

    I really like your comparison to Tasha Yar. Hemmer was easily one of my favorite characters. At least his death was in service to the crew, whereas Tasha’s was senseless.
