Strange New Salon: Like Chronitons Through the Hourglass

I will kick off the top thought segment as usual and say, I watched this episode twice because I'll admit on my first viewing, I struggled with it a little bit.

Soap operas aren't my thing.

I've watched plenty and I do enjoy, I enjoy something about the genre.

There's like the, like you just say what's happening.

There's no pretense.

Like you're in the story.

You're getting, you're getting through it.

um but i did struggle with a star trek version at first but then on my second viewing and i like just looked through that veneer and what was actually happening and being said i found myself really enjoying this episode for a lot of reasons number one the incredible performances uh the two standouts i'll acknowledge myself uh melissa navia Girl, your calling might be soaps.

That might sound like a drag, but it's not.

I think she did a wonderful job with the scene that she had with the doctor.

And of course, Anson Mount just killed it.

And I thought he did a wonderful job, particularly at the end, seeing him let those emotions out.

Not only was it an excellent performance, I thought it was a really wonderful performance.

example to set to see a macho white street guy captain of the enterprise be able to go into therapy and let those emotions out i think is is in the real world it's good a good example to see in our media and i'll just leave it there with my top thoughts uh really enjoyed it can't wait to talk about it matthew coatsworth hey what were your top thoughts on this episode

I'm Matthew Coach.

Okay, I'm done.

Every time I open my mouth, it's going to start with that.

Every time? unless it's otherwise occupied by my evil twin.

I'm going to say again, I don't watch soap operas.

I've never, no one in my family has ever watched them.

I didn't grow up with them.

My family was always very like, that is a waste of time to watch.

It would be, yeah i loved this i thought it was so much fun i thought it was great like camp humor self-referential and to stan's point i think that the ending with pike was really powerful uh i think it was really great um yeah all around i thought it was a lot of fun joanne
