Spock and Chapel Handhold Thread (S3 x 02)

[Dar70]

Ypou have it in Pike and Batel - and the closeness of their relationship is absolutely made apparant in SNW S3 Hegemony II. (But if you haven't actually been watching the show, you wouldn't know that.)

I lied I watched. Yeah them as well but their relationship was already established episode 1. Soni kinda don't think too much on it since it has seemed more like a booty call kind of relationship until the last episode.

Some relationships start that way.

So sorry for the spam but that is EXACTLY where this was going to go. Did you not see TOS? Why do you think this happened? Christine was always there for Spock in TOS. She was RIGHT THERE. But he did not go there with her ever again. Something had to have happened BEFORE we see them in TOS for Spock to behave that way IN TOS. So THIS happened. Once bitten, twice shy is the adage you're looking at. I'm quite happy with this because I was afraid they were going to mess with canon on this show as soon as I saw the Spock/Chapel thing happening.

Also, I don't see Chapel as cold toward Spock in Wedding Blues. I feel that she's moving on but her feelings are still there and she feels very guilty. Her face when she was asked to tell the "romantic story" when Spock was standing there and also when he turned and left did not tell me that she was cold. She's still in love with him, but she's pushing him away bc she now knows she's not what "his future" needs.

Agree 100%. Boimler spilled the beans in "Those Old Scientists." Plus, she did not want to answer the wuestion about the ring,,Spick insisted. Plus, in Hegemony II, she specifically told him not to wait for her or do anythis romantic. And that there was no "us "

Did you not see "Among the Lotus Eaters?" That made it pretty clear itcwas beyond booty call.

I do feel sad for the Spock/Chapel folks. You know I used to like Spock/Chapel and read fanfic about it over the decades. But when I saw that they hired a really charming Spock and Chapel duo for this show and saw where they were going, I was a little worried (despite being a sort of Sp/Ch fan) that this was going to mess with canon.

And I am with you in that Chapel does not come across as cold. I would suggest anyone who is a SP/Ch fan to re-watch WBB -- Chapel is definitely feeling a lot of sadness and guilt at what's happening. The "coldness" they are seeing is just the top layer. In fact, it's probably an interpretation by those viewers. Her feelings are still there and the episode shows it plainly on her face.

Indeed.

Exactly why I hate 10 episodes seasons and two year gaps....

I hate it when episodes self-destruct and I can't watch them again.
