I wrote this as I was watching:

  • Since when have Batel and Pike have a history? Was she in season 1?
  • I wish they had a tone warning at the beginning of the episode, also I thought the tones went for a little too long each time.
  • Lol this is the anti-Spock world. "Your emotions are your truth." Maybe Spock should have been on the planet surface as well.
  • Did Spock forget how to read?
  • Did the Enterprise not feel the effects in the previous mission? Did they forget to record it or make personal logs?

Good Lord they established that Pike and Batel have a relationship in the first episode.

The first scene of the first episode, even.

If I remember correctly, the very first scene of S1E1 was Batel waking up in Pike's bed, so.. yeah :D

For the last one: Spock stated that the previous mission they hadn't stayed as long as they were when the effects started happening.

I rewatched the beginning and around 10:17 Spock mentioned that the collision was hundreds of years ago, so they should have felt the effects on the previous mission. Then in the shuttle they mention that the meteor was already there for thousands of years.... So I'm just more confused why the memory effects weren't there before.

They said in the episode that the original mission had been so short (4 hours if I recall correctly), Pike's crew had not felt the effects.

Yup, they basically touched down, immediately encountered some nasty violent opposition, and cut their losses and left bleeding. It was bad enough to make Pike question his fitness as a leader.
