Personally I never shower.

Hmm... Hope those strange energies make Spock sing better. As I recall he can't sing in tune.

So Boimler inadvertently causes Nurse Chapel to end her relationship with Spock and encourage him to go back to T'Pring?

Why is it the exact opposite of what Alex Kurtzman wants to do?

Can't wait for Lower Decks to parody this episode.

Are they going to explain why everyone is suddenly singing and dancing (like some kind of subspace interference that causes the crew to break into songs) or are they treating it as artistic license for this episode?

The food synthesizers of the 23rd century are simply no match for the 24th century replicators for providing Federation citizens a nutritious diet. That'll explain why Boimler is so tall compared to 23rd century people.

Why are you so rude?

Missed the opportunity to name it Fedirect

I thought it's the fat one

Spock in SNW brings his portrayal in The Cage in alignment with the rest of TOS. In that episode, he smiles and has a more relaxed demeanor. If you watch TOS again, Leonard Nimoy plays Spock as oblivious to human emotional expression without being robotic. I actually find Ethan Peck's portrayal to be more rigid than Nimoy's. The Peck Spock tends to either suppress his emotion to the degree that he can appear monotonous and stiff, or fail to suppress emotions and experience outbursts. Around 10 years later, the Spock in TOS finds a balance and seems to have found a balance between emotional expression (including sarcasm and low-key passive aggressiveness against Dr. McCoy) and logic. That's good character development imo

Edit: Not to mention Spock's final words in the 2009 movie where he tells his alternate self not to think too hard about logic and do what feels right. That's Spock's arc ends and resolves his internal conflict that lasted over decades.

That Vulcans cannot feel emotions because of their biology. They actually suppress them and have been trained to do that since they are children.

Very true. We are misled by how Worf tries to be a stereotypically honorable Klingon because he is culturally human. He has little knowledge of how Klingons raised in Qonos understand honor.

Now, how are we going to deal with smaller instances calling themselves the Marquis?

Those might be the wrong words. I wanted to say that she analyzes Trek through the lens of the critical theory as applied to gender and inclusive feminism.

Who voiced the computer? It sounds like Kate Mulgrew

Here is the answer from the actor himself. Andre Dae Kim was busy filming Vampire Academy in Spain and could not return due to scheduling conflicts.
