    Could someone explain the food replicator? I thought they weren’t invented yet? Or were they showing an early beta version that can’t get anything right?

    PTSD. Like many of us I struggle with it. I was taken how so many on the Enterprise have not gotten any sort of treatment. It also showed Pike as a bit weak of a leader. He should have known to keep certain people away from the Klingon. I did like that he didn’t reprimand Ortega because he understood her feelings. BUT what was he doing inviting her to dinner that night without at least a long talk with her. Pike is wonderful and I’m struggling to understand his sometimes avoiding conflict… even a conflict he could have prevented.

    The hand to hand combat was quite good.

    Thank you P+ for adding an extra episode this week. I totally expected not to have this one this week.

      That was a “food synthesizer”, a precursor to the TNG era replicator which is more limited in capabilities.

      They had something like this in Enterprise. It could only do liquids and it couldn’t replicate the cup, so they had to get the cup out of a little cupboard next to the replicator. Basically a modern day drinks vending machine capable of producing any drink.

        I think it even used the same 60’s style sound effect when it worked too.

      Honestly Una should have clued Pike in, not to mention starfleet being all “eat a bag of dicks” knowing full well who was on the enterprise…so who in command has it out for Pike?

      I keep hoping for an episode later in the series that explains why enterprise gets a remodel with:

      • food dispenser rations / shitty colored marshmallow food to save energy
      • smaller crew quarters
      • a less fancy bar/cafeteria

      Maybe there’s a war or something that changes everything?
