Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2x05 - "Charades"

[Airmandan]

That was a good Spock and Christine episode. A little campy at times, but still a fun episode. Pike as backup was fun. T'Pring's eventual rejection of Spock is a lot more understandable now. Gonna be some more noise complaints from Spock's quarters.

 

[sevenstars]

Definitely the Buick of shuttles.

 

[mattman8907]

well fans of Spock/Chapel are probably squealing their little hearts out from that ending.

 

[Trekker4747]

Just started. Damn, I love Chapel.

 

[NCC-73515]

I remember people thought Spock boxing air was him being happy - turns out it's the opposite

T'Pril reminds me so much of Enterprise's vulcan's back in the day. 100 years later and there are still vulcans who are racist against humans.

 

[DaveyNY]

WOW ... 10

Now we have an undetermined amount of time to try and figure out just what it is that causes the Spock/Christine relationship to sour once again by the time of TOS.

T'Pring is pissed, no wonder she runs to Stonn.

This also explains a lot about why the first time we see her and Spock communicate inTOS, it seems so damn cold.
(beyond the usual Vulcan stoicism)

I wonder if they will show T'Pring actually discovering that Spock's feelings for Chapel are real.

 

[Trekker4747]

Human Spock loves bacon.

 

[mattman8907]

Human Spock loves bacon.

bacon is awesome

 

[DaveyNY]

Obviously, Bacon can make an Alien ... Human.

 

[AlanC9]

T'Pring's dad is oddly un-Vulcan

I kind of liked that part. A recurring Trek problem is that nonhuman cultures have limited range.

 

[Trekker4747]

bacon is awesome

Well... Yeah!

A quibble. Spock implies human emotions are stronger than Vulcan ones, the implication has always been Vulcan emotions are far more intense than human ones hence their need to suppress them. But here Spock says human emotions are stronger.

...

Spock and Chapel in the corridor post her interview call. Damn. The chemistry between these two. It's so strong I want canon to be violated so they can be together.

He's probably exhausted from having to deal with T'Pril for so many years.

 

[DaveyNY]

He said that while he was Human and trying his damndest to deal with the overwhelming nature of the beast.
Just the fact that he ate bacon proves he had completely lost his innate nature.

 

[NCC-73515]

There was a lot of You Are Cordially Invited in this one

The badge is mirrored

 

[DaveyNY]

There was a lot of You Are Cordially Invited in this one

Imagine that, a Trek episode that harkens back to one of the other hundreds of previous episodes.

Who'd a thought.

 

[Yistaan]

So the question is what happens that causes Chapel to dump Spock for Roger Korby?

 

[Captain Jollydark]

Bacon. #1 cause of vegans backsliding.

Vegetarians for sure.

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

This is actually one of the more sensible Trek missions. Fly the shuttlecraft up to the strange energy anomaly, rather than the ship itself.

Of course, it's just a plot contrivance.

Really you should send almost always:
1) Send in a Probe first to do remote scans
2) Then a shuttle or small craft for more detailed scans
3) If safe, then send in the main ship.

 

[NCC-73515]

The costume designer calls her Tea-pring Maybe because he had to bring tea...?

I kind of liked that part. A recurring Trek problem is that nonhuman cultures have limited range.

Clearly Vulcans are not supposed to show emotions so openly. She didn't want Spock to be human-like, but her own husband is. (Note: Trellium-induced behavior is not typical, and pointing that out is not moving goalposts )
