Actor, SAG-E Be careful, he bites.
An extremely fun episode, had a stupid grin on my face right from the opening.
One thing that jumped out at me was the adjectives used: “scientists, explorers, adventurers.” The episode reinforced what Starfleet as an organization and Trek as a concept are all about.
SNW spins out of DIS season 2, so probably watch that before starting SNW.
Beyond that I wouldn’t say there’s a strict order, until the recent SNW/LD crossover the rest have been pretty self-contained (almost regrettably so).
but it’s also Star Trek discovery
This is important; there’s a distinct feel to the narrative, cinematography, performances and dialogue that the other series def don’t have and kinda maintains through all four (soon to be five) seasons.
Depends on what you disliked about it.
But imo season 3 is where the series grows it’s beard.
My nipples got stiff.
New (final ;_;) season can’t come fast enough.
A Short Trek with them bickering, please.
Their early scenes kind of felt pissy in a way you don’t usually see in star trek.
I liked them, personally. I often think about what conflict would look like in a post-scarcity people… and sibling resentment, minor grudges (re: Una) feel like the sort of thing that stand the test of time.
That was the only part of the episode I found weird.
Like congrats a captain that doesn’t just leave their ship for every little thing… but not even a lil’ interaction with them? Not even a “howdy?”
They sneezed at it wrong… and the shutdown measures malfunctioned.
And they couldn’t very well just let the deuterium-creatures continue being butchered while they sorted it out.
We definitely didn’t get enough of his reaction to the human reveal.
Poor guy! Imagine being married to someone like his wife…
Bold of you to assume that her domineering personality isn’t exactly what he likes about her.
They’re like GLaDOS if she was… decent.
This guy doesn’t have the lobes for Starfleet apparel.
It’s such a tragic moment because both their responses were reasonable.
T’Pring is about to be Spock’s wife, and it’s not simply a business union–she’s very much in love with him. She’s eager to be his partner and keeping changes in his life from her compromises that partnership.
The thing about Spock is that up to the end of the episode he’s still wrestling with the isolation that being bi-racial has come with–he’s aware that T’Pring should be let in but emotionally he’s never come around to that, having grown up at odds with other Vulcans.
What saddens me is that if Spock had communicated how his status affects his approach to full-blooded Vulcans (indeed if had even known to communicate it), I have no doubt T’Pring would have been much more forgiving… alas we sometimes figure out ourselves too late.
So wouldn’t a human Spock (with biologically human nature, but the nurture that Spock carries from his life experience being raised as a Vulcan) actually be super rational and logical?
I reasoned that whatever tools Spock employed failed for one of two reasons:
Vulcan responses to emotion are extreme: surprise isn’t just surprise it’s abject terror, happiness isn’t just happiness but absolute mf hype, disappointment is more like a spiral of depression. Since human response to emotion is much more measured by comparison, he’d need time to recalibrate… time he didn’t have.
The procedure that removed his hybrid nature removed whatever moderation was done to him. As a normal human he may not even have a katra anymore, so it’s possible that whatever physiological changes that take place after kolinar aren’t there because not all of the physiology is there.

Asking the hard-hitting questions.
T’Pring’s pop wins the award for chillest Vulcan and most loyal malewife.
I really feel like any feeling of divergence is the result of Kirk’s image in popular culture; Steve Shives did a segment on Kirk as we remember him and how accurate that memory is to the actual depiction in TOS, and over time certain traits were magnified in the mainstream.
Wesley’s Kirk feels honest–that is to say he resembles Shatner’s Kirk, through Wesley’s performance.
But seriously what does the Koala know can we even handle such knowledge
