But can it go head-to-head with Pike's hair? :confused:

Agreed. He seemed to lack TOS Kirk's warmth, and, as you said, charisma. He also struck me as acting a little "older" than Kirk, and a little more tightly-wound. Hopefully, they will correct this in his next appearance. I'd like to see what a different director would do with him. There...

I didn't have a problem with the story they were trying to tell to resolve Rukiya's plight. The sci-fi resolution they were going for could have worked well if they had taken the time and effort to tell the whole story. They failed to demonstrate, over the course of several episodes, that she...

It's not just about accents. Different people have different abilities to hear at varying level, frequencies, etc. It also changes with age. In my case, overly assertive background music/sounds can make speech harder to distinguish. Add to that technical differences in the sound devices (TV...

No, it's the opening credits to TOS. ;)

If I had just entrusted my daughter to an alien entity I just met with no independent knowledge of that entity's true nature, I wouldn't tell anybody either.

Agreed. It felt like the main purpose of this episode was to give the players something really fun to do while resolving Rukiya's plight. Trouble is, they over-emphasized the "fun fantasy" part at the expense of the Rukiya story, which seemed way to undeveloped to me.

She did remind me a little of Catwoman in the '60s Batman series. Even her costume kind of suggested it. :shrug:

Exactly my point. Why bother having sex when you can have more fun reading the newspaper, or alien data tubes. :drool:

I'm sure they could have found a logical, scientific solution to the problem. They seem to be a fairly intelligent species. :)

I've heard that she has said that, but it seems to contradict what is actually depicted on screen. We very rarely see Vulcan romance throughout the franchise. I think it might be more accurate to say that Vulcans are capable of performing at any given time, but that they mostly choose not to...

Unfortunately, it's in "Patterns of Force".

This, absolutely. The creatives who map out these story lines have every right to tell whatever stories they want, but I think they do themselves, and the Vulcans, a deep disservice when they remove all the mystery and strangeness from Vulcan culture and biology. It transforms Vulcans into...

I still think the thing that doesn't click too well is that the Enterprise is still sticking too close to home. The idea that they are not allowed to leave Federation space without permission flies in the face of the mission to explore. Much of the drama and tension of TOS was the fact that...

Pike would have interfered, even tried to, but he was overpowered and prevented by the guards. By the time the child was integrated into the chair it was too late to do anything about it.

Wasn't there a dalliance with a, uh, professional in "Bread and Circuses"?

There is definitely space for a sequel to this story. In a post above Yistan posited that she could have gotten impregnated with Pike's child, who could be the next First Servant. I think Pike could have a suitable response to that.

The first solution is ideological in nature, but usually accomplishes nothing but allowing you to feel good about yourself because you stood up for what you feel is right. The second is pragmatic and actually has a chance of making the situation better, but in a more gradual time frame.

Unfortunately, the real explanation is mostly likely just typical politics. The barbarism of some of the Vulcan culture was generally overlooked because of the scientific and technological contributions of the Vulcans to the Federation, plus the fact that they were one of the founding species...

It does look like T'Pring became more mercenary and even a little self-enriching by the time of "Amok Time", in that she was prepared to take Spock's "name and property, and Stonn would still be there" if Spock won the challenge and elected to marry her anyway.
