At the very least the Time Agents could send La-An a therapist or something.

Is La'an supposed to be stronger than regular humans? She gave that Romulan some good ass kicking. That's really impressive

Another surprisingly good episode, this season is turning out the be a banger.
Just here to note two details I appreciated:
- La'an still doesn't know what a Romulan looks like after her adventure. The only one she met was surgically altered to look human, although Sera did drop a hint by complaining about the ears. Still, there's plenty of aliens with non-human ears, so not really much to go on.
- If she was paying attention, though, La'an did get another clue about Romulan physiology: When she shot Sera, the blood spray was green! Of course, Sera remembered her grandma's old recipe for molecular solvent, so La'an may have thought that was the reason for the coloration.
"This was supposed to happen in 1992!"
Is that a reference to how the eugenics wars were supposed to happen in the 90's but obviously those came and went so they're softly retconning when the eugenics wars took place?

Man poor La'an. That ending broke my heart.
That was a love letter to trek time travel stories and a nice character piece for Christina who feels less and less like a budget Drummer ripoff. Like any episodal television SNW is a bit hit and miss but better the occasional highs than a season long arc that drags and disappointments.

Maybe once Mariner gets there, La'an can finally talk about what she went through.
I am so late to this. I was up at the cottage for the long weekend and missed the episode until today.
Khan could be my neighbour.
Really liked it. It was the best SNW episode for me so far. However I really don't like the whole changing of established continuity via time travel.

Not bad for a time travel episode. I feel like these have a better shot at working with the episodic format. I was relieved when the car chase scene turned out to be more of a reasonable speed thread the needle through cramped city center streets rather than some over the top Bay schlock; I was sure it was going to be schlock when he chose the flashy red sports car.
