Let's answer the real questions here.
What should we call this relationship? Chock? Spapel?
Nooo I want T'Pring to be happy :(
I always wondered how she ended up so sour and scheming in Amok Time … well here we go. Another 10 years or so of this will do that. Props to the writers.
It's insane how a series can be so good
I surely got some nods to Bender becoming human in Futurma season 4. The bacon eating scene, surely a Matt Groening reference to Homer's love for pork, and Bender went wild on nachos and hot dogs.
So I'm not really the biggest fan of the episode. Felt a bit too obviously like mid-season filler or something. Though I didn't hate it.
But what I actually really appreciated about it, reflecting on it just now, is that I don't think it was predictable, like at all. You couldn't quite tell if the episode was going to go full comedy, or romantic drama or some whacky sci-fi stuff with the wormhole aliens.
And I think that might be one of SNW's strengths (?) A sort of comfortable and maybe confident fluidity around the tone and style it's going for in any episode and at any point in time.
LOL Vulcan food and air must do wonders for human biology.
I was not a fan of the spock chapel love story but this episode was def a banger
I really don't understand why they have to do this whole Chapel/Spock thing. :( I like T'Pring more.
Kinda sad we didn't get James Frain back as Sarek for this episode. I could kinda see him bumping into Chapel and reminiscing about how the Vulcan Science Academy was absolutely awful to his 1.5 human kids.
Remember that Sarek is not speaking to Spock for another like 18 years or so
This episode was really fun
So, that whole section for Spock on being a Vulcan, That's the video clip they're going to give new actors for Vulcans isn't it? Right down to the prosthetics.
I loved this episode!
Given the way that T'Pring and her father were acting, I thought for sure that all four of them were transformed into humans.
