Nothing here has disprove my theory that Batel has died and Pike is hallucinating.

Hegemony, Part II
I appreciated the continued exploration of the Gorn as a truly alien alien species. All the stuff with their different sensory modes, and solar-associated life cycles, is a lot of fun to me.
It also seems like they’ve written the Gorn off as a going concern, which I think is fine. This is a good place to leave it until “Arena” - they even added some dialogue about the various Gorn stories being somewhat vague, so there’s some wiggle room for them to seem a little different when they’re encountered again in the future.
They managed to film the AR wall in a way that didn’t just seem like a round room, which I appreciate.
Wedding Bell Blues
Give this show all the makeup and costuming awards immediately.
It was a fun romp, and I always like it when two opposing characters have to team up against the universe. I could have done with more dancing at the end - it seems like the actors put in a lot of work for a fairly brief scene.
I’ve never been a big fan of drawing a connection between Trelane and the Q, so I’m glad neither was mentioned by name.
Please give me a Sam Kirk spinoff that runs for 50 years.

The entire series is set in a snow globe on Sam Kirk’s mantle, in the home where he lives to be 147.

And he moves into a nursing home with McCoy, right?

You are right that no one except Pike has interacted with her since the climax of episode 1. But there would be an empty seat at the wedding right next to him which would be odd…

Those costumes were each and all absolutely amazing, from the start to the end of the episode.
And that barmaid!!

I was impressed with their restraint in not mentioning either Trelane or Q by name. I mean they dressed the entity in the same costume as Trelane, and his behavior and MO are identical, so we’re clearly meant to conclude they are one and the same. But they didn’t burden the story with continuity, and that’s smart.
