When Sarek is dying of Bendii Syndrome, his wife Perrin complains that Spock never came to visit or say goodbye. I don’t think they ever had the best relationship, but at this point Spock and Sarek are absolutely much closer and on better terms than they used to be. Which makes me wonder why exactly Spock never saw his father again before going off to do undercover diplomacy on Romulus. And I think I know the answer.

Because the most prominent symptom of Bendii Syndrome is a breakdown of emotional control.

Sarek, at this point in the disease’s progression, has basically no control over his emotional reactions. He is dying and he is afraid and he is sad and regretful, and he is, most likely, on top of all that, deeply ashamed. This has to be a humiliating experience for a man like Sarek. And I’m sure Spock knows this. Knows his father has precious little dignity left.

And how do you think he would feel, seeing his son?

The son he’s had an incredibly complicated relationship with for his entire life. The son he has so many regrets regarding. The son with his mother’s expressive human eyes, a mother who died old and fulfilled but so tragically young from a Vulcan perspective. The only child he has left when he once had three.

This man would have a breakdown. He would cry. In front his son. And then he would feel ashamed. And their last interaction would be bathed in regret and shame and deep, unresolved sadness.

Spock wants to see his father. He wants to say goodbye to him. He probably wants to meld with him, which seems to be something traditional for Vulcans in the end stages of their lives. But his father’s dignity could not bear it, and he knows this, and he avoids him and allows him to die with that little bit still intact, knowing at least that he never cried in front of his son.

I just sat up out of bed in a cold sweat to write this:

A Vulcan musician named T’Pain.

He wasn’t overly successful back home, but he’s big on Earth.

saw a tiktok of a mother taking her very tiny daughter to an art museum and she’s just walking around going “whoooa” “woooaah” to everything but then they got to a marble statue of a nude woman lying on her back and the girl points and goes “mommy🫵” and i just immediately welled up with tears and all the comments are just laughing about it and of course it’s funny but how are you not insanely moved by the way art connects everyone on earth from a centuries-old sculptor to a toddler in 2023

So here’s a short recap of thing as they stand now.

Star Trek Prodigy was designed as a way to help kids and a new generation enter into the Star Trek franchise with a clean slate. It is entry level Trek which is ultimately a good thing for the aging Trek fandom.

It was initially dismissed by Trekkies as being “childish” just because it was on Nickelodeon, and initially a lot of long time Trekkies did not watch it.

Fast forward a few episodes and during the mid-season break of Season 1, Trekkies start to take notice. The show becomes popular and applauded. It wins some awards. It gets some much needed recognition. And it comes back from its break with a much needed BOOST thanks to a great episode featuring voices of longtime legacy Trek characters.

At this point Prodigy is still on Paramount+ and it’s doing GREAT…

Then shortly after the first season concludes and the creators are in the middle of wrapping up Season 2 (as in they were literally almost done with final animation) Paramount+ announces they will be removing ALL OF SEASON 1 from Paramount+ as a tax write off for their struggling streaming service. Season 2 will be allowed to be finished, but Paramount now has absolutely no intention of releasing it. wtf?

Trek fans go into emergency overdrive mode and begin a “save prodigy” grassroots campaign, begging some other network to pick up Prodigy so they can release the (now completed) season 2. And it works! Netflix decides to pick up the show and re-releases Prodigy on their service which actually helps INCREASE visibility of the show even more.

We still have no official release date for Prodigy Season 2, but we know the season is completed because THE ENTIRE SEASON is released over in FRANCE on TV! Without the creator’s knowledge or ability to advertise for it.

There is a possibility of a 3rd season, but only if enough people watch the show and Netflix (who is notorious for prematurely cancelling shows) deems the show worthy enough to continue (since they’re technically only licensing the rights and didn’t actually fund the creation of the show).

And now Paramount+ has cancelled the only other animated Star Trek show: Lower Decks which does not bode well for the Trek brand or the future of animated Trek shows going forward…

It’s been a roller coaster.

I love how La’an was able to trust Spock with one her most painful memories despite being extremely closed off, and how Spock was willing to take that risk recognising that she was strong enough to handle it.
