This crucial point is interrupted by the dramatic (and far less interesting) explosion of the Lake Ontario bridge, which has collapsed in a massive explosion. We do, eventually, get to the crux point of their differences on “what is the correct timeline,” the classic time travel debate: one that makes clear how Alt-Kirk’s United Earth is merely surviving on the edges of the solar system, paling in comparison to the prime timeline’s paradise: where La’an’s version of Earth still has sunsets, and Kirk’s brother Sam is still alive.
The sequences are nice, but as they drag onto into evening and morning - via a rather tortured “I can’t sleep, so I’ll watch the other person sleep” moment - the whole thing gets a little tired. Kirk beats the locals at “idiot’s chess.” (Paramount+) La’an begins to warm to him a little, and why wouldn’t you? Wesley’s Kirk oozes quiet, affable charm in half smiles and shrugs, while also still having that flair of bravado and intelligence that we have learned to expect from the inventor of fizzbin- or a premier 2D chess hustler. Through theft from a Roots store, chess hustling and the purchase of some hot dogs at the Toronto Harbourfront, we learn more about Kirk and his reality - where Earth is a battle-scarred wasteland and humanity lives scattered amongst the solar system no Iowa, no sunsets and no Canada. Despite Kirk’s frustration with this predicament, he agrees to help, and together they explore 21 st century earth no, not New York City, but Toronto (home, of course, to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Star Trek: Discovery production). Kirk isn’t convinced, however, and wants to inspect the grey-suited man’s device, which is the last thing La’an wants.Ī brief “struggle” results in them both being tossed back into the past without any preparation: no phasers, no communicators and no tricorders.
La’an is convinced that she –- and Kirk - must go back in time to fix history. (Paramount+)Ĭaptain Kirk of the United Earth vessel Enterprise grapples with this new interloper has he turns down a request for aid from Captain Spock (Ethan Peck) of the Vulcan ship Sh’Rel - but it’s La’an, with her strange badge and stories of an alternate reality that command his focus and disbelief. Kirk (Paul Wesley) commands the UEF Enterprise. Kirk (Paul Wesley) in command.Ī version of Captain James T. La’an makes her way to the ship’s command center quickly, only to find a crew that doesn’t recognize her, and Captain James T. Foisting a futuristic device into La’ans hand, the grey-suited man (Christopher Wyllie) tells her of an attack in the past, and that she must “get to bridge!” before dying a gunshot wound. The (self-induced) beatings will continue until morale improves, it seems… until a stranger materializes on the Enterprise. M’Benga (Babs Olusonmokun) seems determined to do it all alone. Interpersonal disputes, noise complaints and Pelia’s (Carol Kane) light-fingered kleptomania are all beginning to grate on the security chief, who - despite the best suggestions of Dr. We open with La’an Noonien-Singh’s (Christina Chong) routine as security officer seeming to drag. The time travel shenaniganry, while fun, relies to heavily on a mystery box that lasts for 45 minutes or more and a twist that really should have come a lot earlier in the plot. It’s got some great character work from Christina Chong and Paul Wesley that indulges in their excellent chemistry… but it lasts for 61 minutes. It’s a reasonably interesting plot with a decent payoff… that lasts for 61 minutes. “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow” is time travel episode that lasts for 61 minutes.
