Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 3x08 - "Four-And-A-Half Vulcans"

[cooleddie74]

Augmented Denobulans are a thing, even if a lot of that is mechanical implants to enhance natural physiology.

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

What's the difference?

She just felt different from the other Vulcans, like she belonged in another franchise.

It's just personal take, that's all.

Nothing Good or Bad about it.

She was work driven and into her job. Sounds more Vulcan than Elf to me.

KARD wasn't a fan of the episode either

There's a new contender for "worst episode ever"...

He didn't like All Those Who Wander??!

I wasn't refering to her personality change, just her appearance.

Are Elves fond of middle parts? I thought they liked long flowing hair that's pulled back and widow's peaks.?

I just thought they love Blonde Elves in LotR.

The Hair Style is arbitrary, but they generally were Blonde for many of the Popular Elves.

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. I’ve absolutely adored Strange New Worlds this season, and while it hasn’t been perfect, it’s been fun, and I was willing to forgive such indulgences as the dress-up episode and the space-pirate episode because they were enjoyable. Maybe they were...

Elrond. Arwen. Tauriel. Some pretty popular Elves.

 

[Jedi Marso]

She felt more like a Elf from Lord of the Rings impersonating a Vulcan.

Which would also imply she looked great.

Jess Bush "ALWAYS" looks great.

 

[Charles Phipps]

La'an being all Drow/Romulan was great.

 

[gweeps]

Just started. Guessed they'd have Pike give the intro speech as a Vulcan.

Elves Parsly being the most popular.

The high point of the episode for me was that tango.

I can't stand the Spock shipping in this show.

 

[fireproof78]

Vulcans are turned into horrible stereotypes rather than the stoic, wise and highly intelligent species that they are.

Vulcans have been "jerks" since TOS. And they've been treating Spock as inferior since TOS, too. It's an ongoing element of Spock's character. The episode does make the point that these "Vulcans" are not representative of all Vulcans.

This. "Amok Time" makes it clear a sense of elitism and racial purity is somewhat present in Vulcans.

 

[cooleddie74]

ENT established that 22nd century Vulcans were raging hypocrites and often bigots, and DSC just took that to a different level with the, "yeah, we're all Federation brothers now but I still think I'm better than the rest of you" smugness.

Anson's acting was pretty bad here, which is surprising as he did a great job as faux Asimov in the holodeck episode. His stilted performance reminds me of the Stargate episode where Colonel O'Neil and T'ealc switched bodies. Richard Dean Anderson was pretty bad playing T'ealc, even with his long acting experience as McGyver, whereas Christopher Judge knocked it out of the park playing O'Neil.
