That was a really fun episode, I'm enjoying this show way more than I expected.
I want some warp core pajamas.

Right? Glad I'm not the only one! I also want Thok's workout jacket thing.
I think I might have liked this series more if it came out like 15 years ago. Right now it just comes off as immature and overly quirky/comedic.
probably because it targets people 15 year younger than you.
This episode started rough with the gym lens flare being so strong I couldn't even look at the TV. The War College gave up a little easy, but I expect them to be back harder and stronger, I hope they get a big win just to help even things out.
Also something I appreciate is all the security this episode and the previous episodes have had. So many Star Trek plots would have been fooled with even the most basic of security, so seeing someone need proper authorization or cloning an eyeball is surprisingly new for Trek.
I like seeing the personal growth of these characters kicking in early. And that we don’t only focus on Caleb. When’s my Jay-den episode coming?
And while I didn’t think I‘d like the post-burn setting, it gives our characters a reason to reiterate what Star Fleet and the Federation stand for. In the classic shows, there wasn’t really a reason so argue what the federation is supposed to be (because it was objectively extremely successful the way it was). I enjoy seeing our characters rebuilding this utopia.
So first, Jay-Den is my favourite character. I would love to see some Klingon standup comedy lol
Second, after Kelrec gave his small speech about his students to Ake, I was hoping she'd reply "That's like your opinion, man"
Besides the concerning number of shots with bare feet in them, I really enjoyed this episode. A true classic rival school plot! I particularly enjoyed that other people were at the center of the plot this time. The next episode is the Jay-Den one I think and I'm really looking forward to it
I love Nahla so much
Not a lot to say about this one - I'm just glad Reno found someone.
And we have a stardate!
868858.7 - that puts it pretty definitively after DSC season 5 (coda excepted), assuming stardates are, you know, linear.

Was that in question Reno being an instructor would seem proof enough that it was after her time on Discovery.
Kurtzman has made some nebulous comments about there being some overlap, so I was open to the possibility that this was happening between seasons or during season five or something.
I wonder if the production staff just couldn't make up their mind to begin with honestly, because if you look close at Lura Thok's personnel file from E01 it says she's born in 3145 and is 50 years old, so you're back to 3195 again.
Personally I don't really trust relying on stardates for years in this future era since DIS wasn't really consistent about it, so I'm hoping someone will actually cite a year out loud at some point and get rid of the wondering.
In general, I'm a firm believer in "stardates were made to be nonsense, and should be treated as such," but they're fun to puzzle over once in a while.
