    Things I liked: Ethan Peck and Mount have some great comedic chops. Many funny lines throughout, generally enjoyable.

    Things I did not like: Never been a fan of altering Spock’s backstory with T’pring. Chapel doesn’t even know that Spock was engaged in Spock Amok. Please stop the T’pring stuff, also maybe it’s time we saw some Spock instead of all this funny stuff.

    The entire part where Chapel has to explain her feelings to an alien felt juvenile and stupid.

    Overall an ok episode.

      My last comment was deleted because it wasn’t constructive enough. Let me try to remedy that.

      I completely agree that the confession part was not done in a way that fulfilled it’s possible potential. It felt forced and rushed. It was such a prominent plot point that had been built up for a while. IMO it would have been better for her to talk to a friend like Uhura who knew what was going on anyways. This could have made for an intimate character development moment. Like so we had more of an “alien of the week” moment.

          I’m genx with an elder sibling that watched TOS during it’s initial broadcast, so I grew up on a steady diet of Trek, loved TNG when it started and am loving SNW so far (still in s01).

          A couple of choices have gotten the old single raised eyebrow, but less “that ain’t canon” and more of a “huh, that’s a cool twist” kind of way.

          Whatever they’re doing with Trek these days, I’m eating it up. Lower Decks, too, for what it’s worth.
