I do kind of take issue with the foreknowledge of death bit. I mean, seriously, you know the day and place you're going to die - be somewhere else that day. Reminds me of an old Dilbert strip, where Dilbert is sentenced to death by Catbert for attacking a vending machine. In the last frame he says, "the execution is scheduled for tomorrow. I should call in sick."  |
It's problematic but it sets up a hell of a series finale. Because Pike didn't die. He was taken to that fantasy planet of butt-brain aliens to live out his days with a pretend smoke show in pretend paradise.
