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?

If I remember right, she’s in the very first scene of SNW. A bearded Pike in Alaska riding a horse to a cabin where they’re staying together. She’s gently needling him about whether he should go back to a command. I think she’s about to leave to go back to her ship after a vacation together. Something like that.
