Must a Vulcan MC "lose control"?

[Ronald Held]

PU Spock should not be written I the SNW way. Wondering how the writers will try to transition him to TOS Spock by 5.06.

Well, he had to transition from Cage Spock to TOS Spock so something changed. The Early Voyages comics addressed it too so it's not a strange concept.

Same way TOS Spock became Undiscovered Country Spock?

He has to transition into Early TOS Spock before we hit "classic" Spock. The occasionally snarky guy with sly grins who recommends the death penalty.

So he has to die again?

Well, hopefully not that.

I love how people forget character development is a thing in all media.

Yes, it's necessary. Vulcans are way more emotional than humans, that is the reason they suppress their emotions in the first place, if we don't see them struggling and failing at least once then what's the point of giving them this background?

Lessons in stoicism? An alternative way of life to emulate (partially, if not wholly)?

Vulcans aren’t role models

A trope is a trope. Writers or producers cannot resist a good trope. Or a bad trope.

Therefore if there is a Vulcan main character, at some point there needs to be a pony Farr episode, a loss of emotional control episode (both could be the same episode), a time travel episode, and so forth

Pony Farr ?

 

[Nerys Myk]

Pink Pony Farr. It's a club.

I'm having wicked dreams of leaving Seleya
Hear Andoria, I swear it's calling me

Yeah, it's not my best work.

Vulcan brony furries... the plot twist we never knew we needed
