posted by wonder2wonderSTAFFMOD on May 11, 2022 at 10:57 PM
"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."

Side notes:
Another character's tragic past is revealed in this episode. Uhura's parents and older brother died in a shuttle accident. Who caused it? The Gorn, the augments, some unknown?
Spock in another duet. Last time it was with Una. Now it's ♪Uhura and Spock - they sing together to make 'the comet' lower its shields.

Isn't that supposed to be like 10 years or more before TOS?
Lt. Kyle would probably be too young. As would be Chekov and the others in the Jar Jar Trek movies.

Many more characters from (S)TOS are expected to appear. For example popular Lt. Leslie. This time played by an actress (?).

Anyway this episode sounds like kind of a reverse of "The Paradise Syndrome." Mixed with a bit of "For The World Is Hollow..."
