Yeah, I caught that part. Not sure how that would result in her eyebrows fitting the description of "Mighty Morphin'," though...

The quippy, smirking chipmunk. Yep.
Smirk, raised eye, smart-arse quippy twaddle. Rinse. Repeat.

That was not a homage. Holy shit.
Slow-mo monologue openings are seemingly reserved for the fairer ebony persuasion.
Sam "don't you FEEL ANYTHING?!" Kirk ripping off his Kelvinverse bro. Difference is, the movie provided dramatic build up to that showdown and didn't feel forced, as was the case here. It wasn't a cute ripoff in the spirit of Quark's rendition of Picard's "line drawn here!" speech; that was funny because it was so obvious and self-aware.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" :ANGRY FACE:
I like Chapel and Spock; imagine if they had capable writers?
One more episode, then I'm done with NuTrek - at least on a regular basis. This was last chance saloon after the abysmal Disco S4 & Picard S2. What I watch needs to grab my attention and keep it. NuTrek has consistently failed this basic requisite for years.
The stories themselves are mostly meh-worthy; I needed non-schlocky, non-superficial writing to keep me around. You might be glad not to have the convoluted serialised twaddle of Disco or Picard, but the quality at the coalface (e.g. the dialog) is little changed. This is no game changer, I'm afraid.

Remember back in those mystical times of yore when a season of television was 22-24 episodes?

They're clearly making enough Star Trek for a full season of television every year, they just kinda choose to not do the smart thing and have everything be SNW.

To be even-handed, SNW fluctuates between 'pretty good' and 'mediocre'.
But even 'mediocre' is miles better than 'hot, wet garbage', which is the level the rest of KurtzmanTrek occupies.

I'm glad I rewatched Balance of Terror last night. It was cool how they lifted shots, music cues, and dialogue directly from the original.

That was nice. Good season ender, I'm just wishing the seasons were longer.
The Question

I believe the implication was that Spock was the important one in the specific context of bringing peace between the Romulans and the Federation, viz his later efforts at reunification between the Vulcans and the Romulans. He'll also prove to be extremely important to Pike personally viz the events of "The Menagerie."
But, yeah, I do think the story "passes the torch" from SNW back to TOS in showing that Kirk was just the kind of cowboy for the Final Frontier.
The Question

I'll admit that I wasn't pausing and looking it over frame by frame, but... the "Monster Maroon" looked pretty spot-on, to me.
