I just realized that the spoiler deadline for SNW Season 3 is not up and we should be spoiler tagging stuff from it.


That La'An will always try and be superior because of her augment DNA.

Unlike some others, I don't think the way the main characters acted after turning Vulcan is biological exceptionalism, because it was explained (albeit quickly and poorly) by Una in the episode that the way they were acting and behaving (Emotional control and being jerks towards Spock) had nothing to with them being Vulcan but because the serum that turned them Vulcan. It was reverse engineered from what the magic energy beings in Episode 2x05 did to Spock, and was derived from his own personal experiences as a Vulcan.

It's stupid, but not biological exceptionalism. Just bad sci-fi mumbo-jumbo.

The other big thing I don't like is that all bigotry towards Spock in the episode was treated as a big joke, as part of the comedy. Bigotry should never been treated as a joke.

We should move this discussion to the episode thread.
Fair enough; thank you for the clarification!
