She never said "Enterprise", just gallivanting around the galaxy. Kirk did not get the Enterprise until a few more years.


The thing Chapel is going on is 2 months (or so).

Guess she falls hard and fast for Korby then, eh? He's the rebound guy from Spock!
 
Yes! That would actually have worked for me, say like a Q-esque prank on the crew. Using technobabble to justify the absurdity was absolutely the wrong call.

I'm really glad they didn't go that route, as it changes the entire format of the episode. Instead of being about how they deal with all of their emotions and secrets bubbling to the surface in song, it becomes about either defeating the villain or convincing him to undo things.

Making it a space anomaly is cliche and silly, sure. But it keeps the focus on the characters and their relationships, where it should be. Even the finale works better this way, with the musical structure kind of peeling them apart for most of the episode but the crew rallying together to overcome it in the end.

I disagree, Chapel knows exactly what she has with Spock, but Boimler's interference has placed doubt in her mind as to whether it is the appropriate thing for Spock's future.
She's giving him up because she loves him dearly and doesn't want to be the thing that holds him back.

I don't agree with this. I don't think it has anything to do with Chapel protecting Spock's future. It has to do with protecting HER future. She loves Spock, he's basically her one. But Boimler confirms her every fear, that the two of them will never work and it isn't truly meant to be. That Spock is amazing and entirely Vulcan in the future is only relevant in so far as it means HE ISN'T WITH HER.

Ever since she's been pushing Spock away. Not for his benefit, but for hers. She's hurting him before he can hurt her.

It seems she does, but Chapel still has deep feelings for Spock when they're both back on Enterrprise. After Korby's disappearance in 2261, it seemed she was hopefully of one day being reunited with him, but she was professing romantic feelings for Spock as late as 2267 (or 2269 if you considered TAS part of canon).

I came to the same conclusion, whirlwind romance followed by a impulsive engagement before his expedition, then he disappears and she can't exactly break up with him in absentia.
 
I think Korby is the one that initiates a romantic relationship with Christine.
She eventually begins to warm up to him, but it's never going to be like it is with Spock.
It becomes a rebound relationship for her.
Plus, I think Korby will treat her like a second love as compared to his love for his Science.

After watching "What Are Little Girls Made Of" again, it very much seems like Chapel behaves in more of a concerned for his welfare manner rather than as a lost lover.
 
Dang this lack of being able to edit my posts.

I meant to add in: Was the actor for the Klingon commander the same dude who played Martok in DS9? I can't imagine it was, but he at least looked really similar to me.

It was the chap who played the Aenar in season one
 
Man, it was obvious that the Klingons would be coming in hot with the singing. I don't know for sure what I was expecting, maybe some opera or something, but whatever it was it was not that. XD I wish we could have gotten a little more of it.
I was expecting heavy rock. It was rather underwhelming what we got.

I was expecting Klingon opera but I’m glad they did not do it. That’s too expected. I’d rather be surprised by something way different than the expected.

I have the episode a 9 instead of a 10 because some of the songs were a little drawn out. Otherwise this was a stellar episode. This season is firing on on cylinders.
