NGL I was very mixed on this episode. It seems they included something for everyone to hate. A sort of grandfather paradox that justifies planetary genocide that just gets shrugged off being mine. I can see others riled up about bad ass women punching a dinosaur (though that was a high point for me), robbing and ignoring crashed insectoid alien colony ships on earth pre cretaceous, magical teleportation by quantum entanglement, ancient aliens, planet x references, doctor who easter eggs, spock just shrugging like yeah could blow us up there are no numbers so Idk fly into the explosion, the cartoonish sfx especially the trees.

Not every episode of SNW is perfect but i have loved pike the series as a whole up to now. Why include such dangerous and heavy concepts if you’re just going to handwave them as necessary for the survival of your species? Its giving “at least the trains ran on time” in practice.
