Okay, I finally saw the whole thing for myself.
Great performances.
Great visuals.
Toronto gets to be itself on-screen for the first time ever in Trek history.
And yet.
There's one thing that throws me right off...
We have the Temporal Cold War messing with the Eugenics Wars. Khan Noonien Singh's backstory gets pushed over thirty years down the road. Is this a thing that actually needed fixing? Picard Season 2 left Nomad's launch and the Bell Riots alone.

As far as time line, we know this isn't supposed to be set in 2023 and it takes many years to build any sort of bridge so there is wiggle room in the timeline. Maybe.

Considering that the Lake Ontario Bridge is a peer in scale to the likes of the Millennium Gate...both would have taken as long to finish, right?
