I've also assumed that it's not a verbal response, but some kind of acknowledgement of a signal being received.

Bit amusing, though not unexpected, that my comment about a reading of Spock as gay is being rebuked like this. :P I'm not saying it's canon, just that as a gay person it's easy to relate to his struggle and read into it in a way familiar to myself. I know people of other marginalised positions...

Well, there is a lot more than that to support the reading. I don't want to derail this thread though.

Given how central vulcans are it would be nice to know more about everyday life on Vulcan. I'll take a docuseries on the cultural anthropology of vulcans, please! Others I'm interested in are medusans, and the critters from Conspiracy.

It's an amusing episode. I think Sulu getting the happy shot isn't really too hammy, it's fun. The ending skit is also great fun; more to support my reading of Spock as gay when he doesn't care to go to the cafe where women are so-. Scotty and McCoy instead jumping to alertness right away is...

My first thought upon seeing the title of this thread was Kelvinverse Kirk, so I voted him despite not having seen Picard. I don't doubt that I'll have thoughts about an immediate resurrection in that show as well once I get around to watching it. The way Kirk is brought back to life doesn't...

I really like Pulaski. It's quite clear they wanted to make a character in the same vein as McCoy, and even though she's not quite as snappy as him, I like that she's headstrong and challenges Picard as well. I don't get the Wesley hate either, he's just a teen and doesn't do anything offensive...

With her having felt like an outsider in SNW, I could see the show doing some story where an encounter with someone makes her feel less alone. For me ideally she would be the one to pursue whatever kind of fling it is, would be stronger that way, that she has to find strength and value in...

My first thought was The Twilight Zone, although it precedes Trek. I enjoy the thought-provoking self-contained stories and social commentary in both (an element of classic scifi I enjoy in general). Kind of in the same vein, Black Mirror.

It's been bringing me great joy for 8 months (new fan here!). I haven't been this enthusiastic about something in years and it's been great to see I'm not too old to be swept away by wonderful characters and a good show. My interests lie mostly in original Trek but I am working through the rest...

Nobody can beat Spock for me :P

Astronomical odds of a mutual language just happening to work in the crew's favour every time. ;) The Paradise Syndrome is a definite crap-tier episode for me. I feel like Margaret Armen must have had some self-indulgent fantasies in mind when she wrote this episode and The Gamesters of Triskelion.

I wouldn't have remembered her without this reminder, but she stood out to me while watching! I think it's lovely that a black woman got to wear her natural short hair at a time when straightened hair/wigs were in fashion for black women in pop culture (at least singers). Both episodes with...

There are a lot of characters in original Trek who appear once never to be heard of again. Do you have any that have made an impression and stuck with you for longer though? What makes them your favourites? :) Doctor Miranda Jones from Is There In Truth No Beauty is definitely up there for me...

I haven't seen all the series but the 2nd season of SNW has set low expectations for me. It feels like the show (and franchise) are playing it rather safe with callbacks to and appearances of already established and beloved characters, but not really giving them the depth I wish they had. I hope...

Whichever interests you more or suits your viewing style, I suppose! I'm working through everything in chronological release order, so I'm not up to Discovery yet. I've watched Strange New Worlds however, since my friend wanted to engage in an ongoing trek series and watch it weekly. You'll be...

I think there would be a lot of interest in seeing how Spock deals with realising that the things he thinks make him the perfect vulcan he aspires to be are actually things that make him himself! Of course in canon these kinds of realisations do hit him in TMP, but SNW seems to be speedrunning...

The Land of Nod: In an untraversed section of the quadrant, members of the crew start having strange dreams. Soon they have trouble determining reality from dreams. Next episode: Short End of the Stick

Out of the choices I voted Pike, Uhura, and M'Benga, all very warm and likeable. Characters whose stories I most would like to see are T'Pring, Pelia and Pike.

Can't read through all of the 65 pages of messages here, so dunno if this thought has already been discussed at length. There were great fun moments in this episode, such as seeing Spock's interactions with others. The idea of behaviour being embedded in your dna kind of bugged me though. Spock...
