Those Old Scientists
An accident while investigating a time portal sends Ensign Brad Boimler through time from the twenty-fourth century, and Captain Pike and his crew must get him back where he belongs before he can somehow alter the timeline.
So this episode released early (and also has lead to the rest of the episodes being brought forward ...
Hegemony

Amazing episode but please stop using cliff-hangers I beg you... This should have been a double epis...
Ad Astra per Aspera
Commander Una faces court-martial along with possible imprisonment and dishonorable dismissal from Starfleet, and her defense is in the hands of a lawyer who’s also a childhood friend with whom she had a terrible falling out.

Memento Mori
While on a routine supply mission to a colony planet, the U.S.S. Enterprise comes under an attack from an unknown malevolent force.

How convenient that a completely alien species that communicates through [spoiler] strobe lights _al...
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
La'an travels back in time to twenty-first-century Earth to prevent an attack which will alter humanity’s future history—and bring her face to face with her own contentious legacy.

All Those Who Wander
The U.S.S. Enterprise crew comes face-to-face with their demons – and scary monsters too – when their landing party is stranded on a barren planet with a ravenous enemy.
Great episode. I might need to do an Aliens marathon.
Charades

What the f...? I really loved that episode! Ethan Peck played that role fascinatingly good. What ...

Welcome back, [spoiler]proper[/spoiler] Star Trek!
Children of the Comet
While on a survey mission, the U.S.S. Enterprise discovers a comet is going to strike an inhabited planet. They try to re-route the comet, only to find that an ancient alien relic buried on the comet’s icy surface is somehow stopping them. As the away team try to unlock the relic’s secrets, Pike and Number One deal with a group of zealots who want to prevent the U.S.S. Enterprise from interfering.
Now I have seen 2 episodes it's clear that this show is what many Trekkies have been looking for : m...
Spock Amok
It’s a comedy of manners when Spock has a personal visit in the middle of Spock and Captain Pike’s crucial negotiations with an unusual alien species.
I'm very surprised by the negative comments on this episode. Perhaps it's because I'm a casual Trek ...
Ghosts of Illyria
The U.S.S. Enterprise encounters a contagion that ravages the ship. One by one, the entire crew is incapacitated except for Number One, Una Chin-Riley, who must now confront a secret she’s been hiding as she races to find a cure.
Inject this into my veins. This is the most Star Trek, Star Trek we've ever got.
Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach
A threat to an idyllic planet reunites Captain Pike with the lost love of his life. To protect her and a scientific holy child from a conspiracy, Pike offers his help and is forced to face unresolved feelings of his past.

The Broken Circle

Returning to a planet that dredges up tragic memories, Captain Pike and his landing party find themselves forgetting everything, including their own identities as he confronts a ghost from his past.
Can't La'an catch a break, damn😭 Also, I'm pretty sure if you saw Chris's perfect hair you would...
Lost in Translation
Uhura seems to be the only one who can hear a strange sound. When the noise triggers terrifying hallucinations, she enlists an unlikely assistant to help her track down the source.

The Serene Squall
While on a dangerous humanitarian mission, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise stumbles into a harrowing game of leverage with the quadrant’s deadliest space pirate.
The show just keeps stepping it up. This was a joyous adventure full of fun and making full use of t...
Subspace Rhapsody
An accident with an experimental quantum probability field causes everyone on the U.S.S. Enterprise to break uncontrollably into song, but the real danger is that the field is expanding and beginning to impact other ships—allies and enemies alike.
musical episodes are the worst type of episode and you cannot change my mind
The Elysian Kingdom
The U.S.S. Enterprise becomes stuck in a nebula that is home to an alien consciousness that traps the crew in a fairy tale.
I liked how they addressed the subplot of [spoiler]M'Benga's daughter versus miraculously finding a ...
