Am I dumb or did anyone else find this lines weird?
Like Spock, bestie, I know your emotions are taking over just a little bit, but isn't it a bit narcissistic assuming you're the only one who "can" by the sole reason of not being a weak little human?

There is nothing mysterious or natural about authority. It is formed, irradiated, disseminated; it is instrumental, it is persuasive; it has status, it establishes canons of taste and value; it is virtually indistinguishable from certain ideas it signifies as true, and from traditions, perceptions, and judgments it forms, transmits, reproduces. Above all, authority can, indeed must, be analyzed.

Ortegas was a night witch in the war! Thats so cool!
(If you dont know, in WW2 Russia had female pilots that would idle their engines and glide to their target to go undetected, drop their bomb, then fly outta there. The sound of the glide apparently sounded like broomsticks to the germans hence the nickname. I highly recommend reading up on them if you haven’t. They were incredible women)

Strange New Worlds should have kept the same Gorn design from the 60's, including for their young. Imagine these guys chestbursting out of crew members, fully clothed and ready to slow wrestle.

my thoughts on the snw season 2 finale so far:
- for the last time, the federation never heard of the gorn until cestus iii, this whole storyline makes no fucking sense
- stop trying to make spock/chapel happen, it’s never going to happen
- why all the buildup/suspense over whether chapel survived? we know she made it, she was in tos for fuck’s sake
- once again, a tos character recast in snw looks nothing like the original (but i was so excited to hear that scottish accent, even though he looked nothing like scotty i knew that’s who he was supposed to be)

Something just struck me about this moment:

She's surprised by Pike's reaction. Like she doesn't think what she just did is that different from what other pilots do.
Like she doesn't get how special she is.
Pike says she was born for this. Maybe she was - or maybe this is what she's trained for her whole life. Her passion, dedication, hard work, and courage make her who she is.

You're special, Erica. Own it.

Ad Astra Per Aspera Pike and Una earned hug = good
Hegemony Pike freezing on the bridge as Una repeatedly asks for orders = bad
