Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 1x05 - "Spock Amok"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
I just finished watching it again. What goes on with Chapel's character is delightful. She's become one of my favorites on the show.
I think I expected that this series would try to either become a rerun of TOS or otherwise turn into just another series making all the same moves in the same ways as the other sequels. And it's neither.
It is the sequel that TOS always deserved.

I guess it depends on the name.
This isn't warning-worthy material. It needs to be more egregious and rule-bending.
I'm not sure being engaged to a woman he both loves and respects (and slightly fears), and being conflicted (and possibly in denial) over his attraction to another woman qualifies Spock as a ladies man. Kirk was defined that way back in ancient times because he (supposedly) had a lot of casual sexual relationships. He was a "player" in modern parlance. That's the definition of "ladies man."
I think by "Ladies man" the poster means the ladies are into him, but to no avail. Just for the sake of argument Kirk had quite a few ladies in his past. We have several women giving him langorous eyes and he gives it right back with an air of "Yeah, baby later".
Honestly both Spock and Kirk avoid commitments. It's all part of their Star Fleet heroism. They seem to believe they are above such mundane things.

We had to delay the vote...Whaddya mean I have to wait for June to get new episodes? I thought we’d solved the instant gratification conundrum.
God forbid!
They are, indeed, Vulcans. And Vulcans who have not undergone Kolinahr still experience emotion. And just as D.C. Fontana, who wrote "Journey to Babel" and probably did more to establish Mister Spock's character than anyone other than Gene Coon, always said, Vulcans in a relationship express love and affection for each other in privacy.
Sure, and I don't like the flanderized Berman era automatons either. But I feel post 2009 ST always goes too far in the other direction
I guess I'd like a somewhat more alien like romance instead of them just acting like humans. Especially since, IIRC, they never actually lived each other during TOS
Well to be fair. In the Pike/TOS era, we're exposed tom a half-Human/half-Vulcan hybrid, whose Vulcan father had a fetish for full Human women (We know he married at least two.) And ultimately T'Pring chose the full Vulcan Stonn over half Vulcan Spock.

True. I just always thought they never liked each other as much as SNW shows them
We saw them once. Hard to judge anything about their past.
That never ends well.
