Me and my boyfriend watched this and I my head I was thinking “my god he’s acting like me” and I was trying to tell myself that it wasn’t that bad but then my boyfriend turned to me and went “oh my god it’s you!” I’m dying 😂😂🖤
Everyone talks about how Spock eating bacon goes against his vegetarian diet, but I don't think I've seen anyone point out that Vulcans also don't eat food with their hands, so Spock is going against two Vulcan traditions by grabbing bacon by the handful.
Riker is a murderer here and Pulaski violates her oath to do no harm. I honestly just think this scene was glossed over by the writers and wasn't thought about too much or really even a second thought to be honest.
This episode has so many awful implications, that the clone murder feels pretty mid-tier on the list of problematic things going on. Shocking how that works out.
killing a clone is morally questionable. yes it's abhorrent to clone somebody without their permission but that is a crime committed by the person who did the cloning not the clone. it's akin to killing your own child after they are born because you were raped.
"we live in a time without hopelessness and poverty." DS9 "hi, we're here to introduce Black Hitler played by Avory Brooks who will use CW, be complicit in mass murders and a attempted genocide of an entire planet. Then we'll introduce a currency of gold that people trade, a money police force that will harass the main cast and, oh yeah, here's The Dominion, who make the entire show feel HOPELESS. Shut up Troi and pretend to be useful somewhere else. Id say make a sandwich but you cant even master acting.
It's HILARIOUS that Mark Twain is talking politics....with a beautiful woman standing in front of him!!! Politics wouldn't be the FIRST thing on my MIND!!!😁😁😁
Star Trek has a lot of inconsistencies. There are episodes in which life is created and they shrug and say it's sentient therefore it has rights. Then they blast it out of existence like in this episode and that Voyager episode where Tuvok and Nelix merged into a new being.
It probably was our Janeway. From what we know of her now she probably did race up the ranks. Janeway probably needed counseling after nightmares featuring a little ship called Voyager. 👀
Very few members of the confederacy had slaves. Surely the highest echelons of power, but even then, not all. The south seceded from the union, and became autonomous. The President passed the Emancipation of Proclamation, and both sides went to war. Many men fought for their homes and family, very fought to keep slaves. Mark Twain, if he was confederate, probably join out of patriotism for the south. And they lost. I appreciate the message that the future was filled with hope for a better world, not such a pessimistic view that we contrast today with.
I wonder what Leonard Nimoy would think of this. Maybe they could've done an episode where we see both halves of Spock share the screen. That would've been interesting to explore in the original series.
Seeing spock be so happy to indulge in high amounts of emotion, to then go too far with gluttony, lust/happiness, anger to an unhealthy point is really sad.
Don't forget that Spock's human emotions and behaviour are unrestrained by the Vulcan side of him, the mental discipline it takes to control both sides must be near impossible for him.
Honestly, this reminds me of teenagers when they go off to college. (Or perhaps myself. Ha.) Exaggerated here to be sure. Though the entire mythology of Vulcans, even going back to TOS, is that their emotions have always been more intense than humans, but that they learned to suppress them. So it makes sense he'd go through all of this (but thankfully it's mostly played for laughs here and not tragically).
When he's laughing and grasping Una and she's kind of laughing but also a little uncomfortable too and La'an smiling broadly but you can see she's eyeing him up wondering if she'll have to put him in an arm bar or something😆
