A cliffhanger... I was hoping they wouldn't introduce those. I expect Sam and M'Benga will be the only one who makes it out alive... expecting to see Sulu and Chekov introduced soon.
Edit: Also the "They've been beamed up... by the gorn" and Pike standing there has the potential to be one of the most horrifying cliffhangers in Star Trek.
2nd Edit: Not Chekov....
- Wouldn't prime!Chekov be like 12 around this time frame?
  
  Nevermind, forgot that Chekov wasn't introduced until Season 2... but Sulu is a possibility.
  
  Chekov was on the Enterprise during s1. Continuity with TWOK requires it. Plus some of the star dates for s2 episodes that starred Chekov where set before the star date for Space Seed.
  But yes at this point we are ~6 years before TOS so Chekov would be in his late teens.

  Stardates in TOS (and SNW) are just random numbers. You can't extrapolate anything from them.
  
  And now I wonder if they were poking at the random numbers when Boimler couldn't figure out what the stardate would be and just said 'the past'.
  
  Definitely
  
  That's true, TWOK requires him being on Enterprise for Season 1, or at least Space Seed. I wouldn't hold stardates too closely since they basically pulled them out of a hat and used whatever was pulled. But he would be in his late teens.
- Also not Sulu if Sam Kirk is hanging around. Sulu was some kind of xenobiologist (xenobotanist?) in the opening episodes of TOS. The move to alpha shift helmsman came later.
  
  Need to rewatch TOS then, memory's got a bit rusty. Thanks!
