It was so hyped for so long. I was beginning to fear that it couldn't possibly live up to expectations.

I was pleasantly surprised.

Like dealing with someone who lies all too often, “they are the boy who cried wolf” gets used. Meaning, one of these days they are going to tell the truth but no one will believe them.

Or, you know, that you should never tell the same lie twice.

Never heard of this website before, but it unironically uses things like "Dark Brandon" in headlines.

Guinan is the better bartender, if you're just a regular Starfleet officer looking to down a pint of syntheholic ale.

Nonsense, she also has green!

Besides, I couldn't see Quark making a Tzartak aperitif.

Coming soon from CBS Studios, Young Garak! See how a young Cardassian grows up under a ruthless tyrant!

Followed by the sequel, Breaking Baste, where a once-infamous spy becomes a simple tailor.

Given the way that T'Pring and her father were acting, I thought for sure that all four of them were transformed into humans.

Donald Trump is lying about the Presidential Records Act ( www.citizensforethics.org )

Donald Trump’s main defense when it comes to his indictment for shocking and dangerous mishandling of highly classified documents so far seems to be that the Presidential Records Act says he did nothing wrong. The only problem is that Trump is claiming that the Act means the opposite of what it says, and after years of...

Canon Connections: Strange New Worlds 2x04 - Among the Lotus Eaters

• The title refers to the Homer’s “Odyssey” when Odysseus’ voyage reached the land of the Lotus-eaters. These people’s primary food source was the fruit and flowers of the lotus, which was powerfully narcotic, and caused those of Homer’s crew who ate it to forget their desire to return home....

The Enterprise computer illuminates wall panels to guide Ortegas to her quarters. In “Encounter at Farpoint” Riker was guided to the holodeck and Data by a similar system.

And IIRC it was introduced as being a relatively modern innovation in UX. So that's a continuity break.

grin at a plant

To be fair, The Cage is set before SNW and even before DIS. And if you recall season 2 of DIS, he sort of lost his mind at some point in-between.

JWBananas ,

He is certainly spending a lot less time expressing emotions than he did in season 2 of Discovery.

There seem to be two major camps of thought about his portrayal in SNW:

  1. He is way too different in SNW than he is in TOS, thus breaking canon. These must be people who really enjoyed the nobody-ever-experiences-personal-growth-except-for-Seven-of-Nine aspect of VOY.
  2. Personal growth is okay, but his current trajectory is veering off too far from where he needs to land in TOS. This is the nobody-ever-makes-the-same-mistakes-twice camp.

Here's what we know for sure, chronologically:

  • Spock smiles at plants in The Cage and seems stable.
  • Spock is a mental and emotional wreck in DIS season 2, but he pulls it together in the end.
  • Spock is back in control in early SNW season 1, but he has overcorrected after the events of DIS to a place where he is much more stoic than he was in The Cage.
  • Spock opens back up the emotional can of worms in SNW season 1 to fight an adversary, and he is having a difficult time closing it back up. But he seems to be trying to make the best of it.
  • Spock is about to lose all his Vulcan DNA in this week's upcoming episode. Hijinks will ensue with T'Pring's family.

That last one may lead to more overcorrection in the future. Or maybe it won't. Who knows?

Maybe he'll undergo Kolinahr at some point before TOS. Maybe it doesn't work twice, and that's why he fails in TMP.

But you can't tell me you've never met anyone in real life whose emotional state of being sways back and forth like a pendulum swing over time.

Spock has to have a moment of crisis that brings him to the state of character he's in in TOS.

This. It's literally what we saw happen in DIS to get him from what we see in The Cage to what we see in SNW. There is no reason it can't happen again.

Me at the beginning: Oh, great. More time travel. I'm so sick of time travel and temporal mechanics. The Science Vulcan Directorate has determined that time travel has been done to death.

Me at the end: 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Maybe once Mariner gets there, La'an can finally talk about what she went through.

Hold up.

The Klingons Romulans go back in time to save JFK kill Khan? And Spock La'an has to kill save him?

Wasn't this the original plot of Star Trek II?
