But the first contact had to take a sideline to spocks small bladder.
I just really enjoyed the edge of your seat stuff like Corbomite. That was really good stuff. I'm nit saying this show isn't great it is but there are only 10 episodes in a season. Not sure if I want romance stuff taking up son much real estate especially on one triangle.
Pike isn't a shitty cock, and that's actually portrayed in canon. The SNW episode Serene Squall had the Pirates loving Pikes cooking to the point that he was able to get them to mutiny against their current captain/cook.
In this episode, T'Pring's father also was showing to clearly enjoy Pike's cooking of Vulcan food as well.
The man looks at home in the kitchen.
And that setup. Man. It's good to see people cooking again in the future.
Just think of the anomalies and technobabble.
I'm late to the thread, so I didn't check the context (e.g. whether we are collectively at a point where we are "Threshold"/"Spock's Brain"ing this episode, in the, you know, "so bad it's good" kind of way), but... you're being sarcastic, right? I hope?
People are generally liking this episode.
I mean, check the poll.
A lot of it seems to be from a shipping angle with Spock/Chapel (whatever that portmanteau of that is) but some of the other humor elements in it. It was a good episode.
A thoroughly "meh" episode. Ethan Peck does a really good Spock and while it's somewhat amusing to see him play around with the character, it's nothing we haven't seen before. And I really dislike the T'Pring stuff as it flies in the face of "Amok Time" and also the Vulcans' keeping their rituals close to themselves seem to have been thrown out the window.
At least the aliens were a bit interesting.
2/10.

Amok Time is almost ten years later. A lot can happen between a couple in less time than that. So what happened in the episode about the 'T'Pring stuff'?
You could, I dunno, look at the poll results on page one to get your bearings on how the episode is being received. It would be faster than needling @Richard S. Ta.
I agree with him. Fantastic show.
Chapel is TOS is not often forthcoming in her motivations but SNW suggests she understands Spock a lot better than we give her credit - her comment in Naked Time, "The others might believe that but not me," has far more context. When she asks him to call her Christine in Amok time, there is much more context now - an attempt to move the dial - to shift more towards their old friendship. Possibly she is the only person on board who knows about Ponn Farr, if not the side effects, but keeps his counsel. Her surprise at seeing T'Pring is more - whoa what's she doing back? I wonder if they will avoid doing scenes with Uhura and T'Pring in SNW but that ship may already have sailed.
"Burned" as distinct from what? It was better than most Trek, so...
I'm more just annoyed everyone's upset I pointed it out. I hereby apologise for the second time.
I usually don't like Star Trek comedies, but this one was really fun with some great performances and added to Spock's development. I put aside concerns over "canon" last season, because I don't feel like wasting the brain power to smooth over the differences between a show written today vs one done in 1966-69. Because unless Spock does a mind meld with Chapel erasing all this and making her, as Majel herself said, a drip, this Christine is radically different ("have you ever been engaged, Mr. Spock?" "Yes. You were there."). Don't get me wrong, I prefer this version. Jess Bush is always great to watch and is one of my favorite cast members. I could watch her all day.
Anson Mount is hilarious as the Coolest Captain in Starfleet, going along with the scheme (I really need a cosplay of that updated green wraparound he wears). T'Pring's dad is hysterical. Mom was...well she would have fit in perfectly in any of the Berman Era Trek's. Really, for all of this "wow just like TOS!" we get for this series, this was a TNG or a DS9 in all but the characters.
The climax was earned but I can see why it can be problematic. Spock is, in all honesty, being unfaithful. But that's another emotional hurdle for him to tackle and a portent of the heartbreak to come. If they follow canon.
I don't consider it one of the best ever, but it was fun like "Little Green Men" or "Deja Q." A nice way to pass the time. There isn't an overall season arc to get to, so I don't think episodes like this are a waste of a short episode count. I was entertained.

I would say that there is some risk, that Strange New Worlds may soon turn out to be a 24th century Holodeck adventure, just like Enterprise turned out to be a 24th Century Holodeck therapy program.
Spock (quoting the immortal words of Ross Geller): "We were on a break!"
Everyone making that reference Doesn't fit, IMHO, and Ross and Rachel were 30 years ago. We're showing our age, guys.
Trekker, on Rachel's side of the issue.
