Spock Amok

This was yet another great episode.

The conundrum that they put Spock into is great.

There was some moments of 'I wouldn't of written that'. Such as the resolve.

But I'm genuinely not convinced this is produced by the same people as Discovery or Picard. They definitely have some Trek fans on a payroll in some dodgy behind the scenes deal. Becuase this really is above and beyond. 5 episodes in a row.

I again, look forward to the next episode. And hope this results in a new show set after Voy/Ds9.

ST-SNW is the best thing happened to the ST franchise since the end of the DS9. Period. The cast feels really at home, their acting is a real joy to watch. And the dialogues. These people do talk, I noticed that how I had missed such talkative shows. They should let Tarantino as a guest writer or a director for some episodes. The Enterprise bingo had QT (and Lower Decks) vibe to it.

Last week, it was action oriented with homages to Wrath of Khan and Aliens, this week with a nice change in tone, lighter but never boring or forced, felt like comedies from 50s.

The sets, costumes, bright colors, exquisitely decorated ships... And especially the positivity it radiates with a force of a warp core. I sincerely feel good when I watch these people. Heck, this is one of the best shows on air right now.

Anyway, sorry for the mistakes/typos, not a native speaker.

I love these quirky episodes! It had all the right elements... character study, romance, diplomacy, but done in that good old fashioned Star Trek style that just leaves you happy and smiling at the end of the episode. I'm happy that this series is really grabbing onto what that soul of Star Trek really is. Optimism, overcoming problems, teamwork... and all the time having a little fun! Oh and the intro was awesome! Loved the music!

This series is everything we ever wanted from Star Trek. Fun, with good character stories (A, B and C plots!), while also being respectful of the history of the franchise. Get in, tell stories we care about, and get out in one episode.

This series answers the question: What if Star Trek, but filmed today?

Despite the plot being forced and a little silly, this episode works as a unified whole. It explores control, duality, and having a voice.

Nominally Spock centric, several plot threads follow this theme. Of course Spock's inner mixed-species struggle and his betrothal to T'Pring, but also the negotiation they are managing and the relationship between Una and La'an.

Although the resolutions to both the negotiation and Spock's predicament are contrived and carry a whiff of Deus ex, this is another excellent episode, arguably the best so far.
