Lesson don t pissed people off sam got it easy when spock had his emotions suppressed forva long time now they are unleashed well u got a very ragefull spock
Some faiths or creeds have tried to deny the true wonder of bacon........but they all know it (plus light, pillowy omlettes and a drizzle of maple syrup) is the meaning of existence.
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).
Well he's always been a neat freak, he's just more emotional about it as a human, but the bit about bacon is embarrassing because Vulcans are taught to avoid eating meat if unnecessary.
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😆
Despite his cowboy image, James was a pretty squared away guy both personally and professionally. He had good table manners in order to host official dinners as captain and his room was always clean when they showed it on TOS. Though god help anybody that dared use a tricorder or black light in there.
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.
I forget where I read it but back in the TOS days Spock admitted that Vulcans do have emotions but they are so strong that they have to suppress them or go mad.
it has been explored a few times in different shows, but Vulcans have very strong emotions, stronger than humans, (a bit like elves/eldar in warhammer if you're familiar with them) but that also made the incredibly violent, to the point where they almost went extinct because they fought each other iirc. So they eventually decided to suppress their emotions and embrace logic to save their species. But Vulcans also have a much higher mental discipline (probably something that inherently comes with being telepathic) than humans. Without that discipline he can't control his human emotions, so even though they are not as strong as Vulcan emotions, this is the first time he experiences the full brunt of all emotions and not just the rare flare of one. La'an also explains in the episode that mentally, Spock is basically going through puberty, when all the human emotions are heightened as well.
@@Olochgu I mean we've seen quite a few "illnesses" that are basically associated with Vulcans losing the ability to suppress their emotions. The pon farr is the most depicted one on screen - they get super horny and can be pretty aggressive. Pa'nar syndrome (what T'Pol got) also affected vulcans neurologically. Sarek had Bendii Syndrome in TNG, making him lose the ability to control his emotions. Then there was that thing that Tuvok had at the end of Voyager. Don't know it's name. But it's the one that caused him to end up to live in a care centre in the future, having lost his mind. Forgot which series it was, but I remember a Vulcan talking about how violent Vulcans were in the past before they learned to control their emotions, more so than humans ever had been. And that learning to control their emotions (and be logically emotionless) caused them to 'develop' past their aggressive, primitive, era.
@@StromjirIt was probably the TOS episode All Our Yesterdays. .McCoy and Spock get lost in a planet's ice age. Spock starts to mentally regress to how the Vulcan species was at the time. He eats flesh and falls in love with the woman who rescues them from the cold, someone who was exiled there from her time in the future. Kirk gets lost in a separate later period of the planet. He gets mistaken for a witch. They have to make it back to the time portal control room in the planet's future and escape before the sun goes boom. I think that's how it goes. 😄
Yes, but he's fully human now. It was the chance of a life time. Eating bacon was a necessity. I bet he ate a big T-bone too. Porterhouse. Rare, as it should be.
Haha sorry lol... I was using OBS to screen-record it and meant to stop it right before that scene entirely, but wasn't fast enough on the button. I don't have video editing software, I mostly threw this up for the express purpose of texting it to a buddy because I been trying to rope him into watching this series 🤣😂
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.
Y'know... As long as Paramount is spitting out these alternate Trek timelines... Why not have a timeline where Spock was raised on Earth. As a half Vulcan human boy. (Maybe Sarik dies when Spock is baby and Amanda takes him home to Earth)... That might be interesting. Or even just a SNW episode with this scenario) Btw... To me .. They're all Star Trek. I just see it as a "Trek Multiverse"... Since every film and series deviates from previous works.
This isn't alternate, it's a prequel, meaning that now canonically the Nimoy Spock was briefly turned into a full human while serving under Captain Pike.
@@Mr-RinnYeah, there's been some weird gatekeeping attempts by (some) trek fans about this show and "Well, obviously, it's not the _real_ Trek-verse" etc
@@Tao_Tology then the gatekeepers aren't worth listening to. enjoy what you enjoy. you don't have to justify it or force others to view it a certain way. world's too shitty to add more toxicity to it
Ahem! This is the prime timeline. Literally EVERYTHING in Star Teek, except for the mirror universe and the Kelvin verse, is the prime timeline. I am getting so sick of these stupid, patethic statements from posers pretending to be fans of Star Trek!
@@nivekian Its a valid comparison. That being said it has less to do with Quinto and more to do with JJ Abrams approach to the character. Nimoys Spock spent a lot of TOS chewing the scenery with the rest of the crew. Those characters really benefited from the movies. Hell the Scotty and Spock we saw in TNG are probably the best interpretation of the characters.
I believe they're vegetarians that never touch food with their hands while their females have a heightened sense of smell... according to the Enterprise pilot. 😅
I think they take something that suppresses their sense of smell in order to muffle the stink that humans give off if they're serving aboard a ship with them lol.
ok he's missing his Vulcan DNA and there is "nothing technically wrong with him"? I can't even begin to understand this episode. it's just so goofy and off the mark. WOW. Clearly his behaviour demonstrated that there was something seriously wrong with him.
I mean functionally Spock can still walk, talk, perform independent functions, and he doesn't possess some kind of disease that's going to kill everyone aboard the ship. From a medical standpoint there's nothing really wrong except for the DNA change
I seriously question anyone and everyone that finds this amusing. Seriously, watch Wrath of Kaan and then this and tell me how this version is still Spock. Alternate timelines or not this is literally a completely different character given the name Spock so you like him less and favour the new characters, nothing more. If you want humour fine, spock had humour in the originals mostly with his interactions with Bones, the writers were smart enough to find humour without resorting to him literally eating bacon, and the over the top laughing at a joke is something we find in teen dramas about the nerd trying to fit in, and im sorry Spock wouldnt care about fitting in so he would never resort to this.
what are you talking about, this isn't supposed to be TOS Spock, this is Spock after a ~space anomaly~ turns him into a full-human with zero experience with human emotions, he's not SUPPOSED to be acting like Spock, that's the whole point. It's like watching a clip of McCoy after he drugs himself in City at the Edge of Forever and going "this isn't how McCoy would act!!"
@@Brian-rt5bb Spock came back from the dead with next to no memory in The Voyage Home and he still behaved more like Spock than this guy has in 2 seasons.
I cant belived. SNW is a big joke from beginning to the end. I'm sorry but THIS is and will be never Star Trek. I mis the old days, back in the past with all the others. To created and filming that show was a mistake. No passion, no sense nothing. How that could be happening?
TOS is packed with fun and goofiness. I'm super stoked this series doesn't take itself as seriously as the other current lot. I like the others as well, but this one is my flagship. You say it's not Trek, but to me, it is everything Trek is meant to be.
Honey, stop hitting your keyboard with your tiny, tantrumming fists. The show is made by the company that hold the rights to the franchise. It's canon.
Great episode - this show continues to impress. even their woke inserts aren't too over the top - the vulcan father got close to being ridiculous, but not quite.
