Amazing. Stunning. Thrilling.

Oh poor Spock. Being this helpless, left to watch, and every choice he ostensibly makes is between bad, worse, and horrible... D:

Huh. I've been having some thoughts about Eli, but I won't share them, at the off chance that I'm right and they'll be spoilery. ;)

Edge of the seat was yesterday. Now it's just hanging in the air...

Glad to be of service, sorry for the stress levels though. You realize that I’m writhing with curiosity over what got tweaked, but all shall be revealed in the fullness of time. I’m going to be speculating wildly in this comment and I don’t expect answers but I just have to get them out there.

I’m willing to bet that Prime has somehow found Nero’s wife - Arrhae. It may either be the version from Nero’s original timeline, or Spock has found her in this timeline. If she is from this timeframe it certainly explains her trepidation, as all she knows of him is his campaign of destruction. Hardly the basis to start a relationship on this time around, but the fact that she’s there certainly suggests one hell of a sales pitch from Prime.

Again, Eli is an intriguing character and there are more clues about him in this chapter that I’m just soaking up. Call me a literary sham-wow if you must, I’ve been called worse!

CAPS LOCK LOVE for this moment between Spock and Eli:

Spock feels himself tense. This other self, this him from another
