*********SPOILERS to SNW S2E9!********
(((((and general spoilers for s2 as well)))))
Like, wow, after ep 9 I gotta be honest I was shocked and bummed. I mean we still have 1 ep left, so maybe things will work out. *shrugs*
I'm not trying to vent but after ep 9, as a Shappel shipper, I went through a gambit of emotions. Tbh I kinda drag my feet to watch the eps sometimes. I honestly don't mind spoilers. I tend to like them actually since these shows get so complicated and confusing I have to watch them 2x at least to catch everything, if not more. 1st watching is like to enjoy it. 2nd is to pay attention. So to be told what is going to happen I can get it and enjoy it on the first watch.
But I got a comment on one of my vids about some sh!t that went down with shappel this ep. I got worried. Now, to give the writers credit, they did not have to give us shappel. Ep 5 was a shock. But at the same time to try to end it, in this utterly stupid way. Like wow. I hope Chapel talks to Spock and explains she got carried away. Again she said she would leave him if she HAS to.
Many are saying this is cuz Boimler basically told Chapel that it's important Spock not be emotional for the good of the universe. So many say she broke up since she 'has to' as she said. But it comes off as 'I'll do anything to get what I want' hmm....not good. Some are even saying that 'this is just Chapel' and that 'once things get serious she's out.' But....they set it up with that chat with Ortegas in Spock Amok (s1e5) that she will be honest for the right guy.
And really she pines for Spock for so long, and then leaves? What!? Too stupid. For 3 months!? So, she falls for Korby, gets engaged in 3 months? Comes back in TOS times. Loses him, then goes back to wanting Spock!? Bro.....
Anyways, I was watching s2e1&5 so I can get used to the new shappel scenes. And that is how I got the idea for this vid. Where Spock was crying saving Chapel from space. Then I realized, like whoa, Spock like, cries A LOT. He cried during the mind meld with La'an, in s1e9 a couple times, s2e1 a couple times, s2e9 of course!, and sometimes he looks like he is about to cry LOL! Sorry, it's just never occurred to me the level of crying. But every time it was a super extreme reason so....he is still doing the whole Vulcan thing 99% of the time.
And yes, I watched TOS, the cartoon, watched all the movies. Yes, this is a prequel, and we already know they don't work out. But end it in a sane way. Like Chapel realizes that Spock can't give her what she wants, and realizes she loves him as a friend. So in TOS when she 'confesses' her love is more like friendship. Like she always dotes on him when he is in trouble and just wants to help, as a concerned friend. Friend love. But to end it this way, so cruel, leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
