It just occurred to me that those two asteroids may have been set ups. No matter which one Spock chose, he would be “right” and save the ship, allowing the main villain to get close to him.
Your thinking 2 dimensionally, on paper yes this could work, however if this were a real situation then I highly doubt that those 2 asteroids would be the same distance from the ship, 1 could be 1 km away while the other is 1.5
How horrible! Really??? Shouldn't THE CAPTAIN be making THOSE KIND of decisions? They made Pike an after thought on his own bridge! Very poor writing. Come on Kurtzman, you are the man in charge of story development and scripts! Elevate your game! One half the episode was a sort of goofy comedy, the other a serious dramatic situation, I mean really you guys, as in US ALL, accept that? That's just poor writing. They could have edited out all the Pike stuff save when they first were capture, Pike thrown back in cage suggesting mutiny, then next we see them they arrive at enterprise to the end. Just enough of a suggestion and hint of their silly adventure, focusing on the Spock/T'Pring angel, best story thread so far. I expect better writing and approach in season 2.
Actually no. The reason Pike is a good captain is because he let's the people who are trained for their jobs to do their jobs. As a trained science officer Spock would be better qualified to pick the right target.
I finally figured out why this show is so boring, someone keeps leaving old scripts of ‘days of our lives’ around on the set. And also an old classic, captain gets captured, captain cooks for his captors, captain escapes. Pure bubblegum.
They get dark and gritty, people complain. They get heavy personal drama, people complain. They get TOS cheery (now all that's missing is the everyone laughing ending), people complain. Haters gonna hate.
Baby steps for Spock to use his intuition.

"use the force Spock".....wait wrong sci fi
Sometimes the GUT instinct it all you got GOOD ODDS 50/50
What a great scene! SPOCK screwing up is so un-VULCAN and illogical and PIKES mockery of it all made me LoL !
hmmmmm ... alright +1
Too much Cali uptalk
Is this another plot of shooting asteroids down to prevent them from crashing on the planet below?
No. Think "Tholian Web".
Since the Enterprise has multiple phaser banks why didn't they just fire on both asteroids at the same time??!!!! DUHHH!!!!!!🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖

I thought the same until I watched it again. I think if they hit the wrong one at the same time the net would've gonne Kaboom before shutting down
@@stars9084 that is also a possibility.
