#season 1 had spock and t'pring swap bodies and shenanigans ensue

[yesokayiknow]

NOBODY does whiplash like star trek. one episode cute crossover with a goofy cartoon next episode is it true that any act is forgivable? if the guilty person devotes their entire life to peace then are the scales balanced? and if so, what about their victims? is their pain nothing against the good deeds the guilty person has enacted since they repented? is the line between justice and revenge so clearly marked and, in the end, does it even matter? does the blood on your hands care whether the knife was raised in anger or righteousness? episode after that fuck it. musical

#snw #snw spoilers #star trek #season 1 had spock and t'pring swap bodies and shenanigans ensue #followed by if a civilisation is built upon the unbearable suffering of one single child #then how is that worse than our civilisation where a uncountable number of children suffer silently? #are you not a hypocrite if the former discomforts you more than the latter? #what about if the child volunteers? does that make it better or worse? #followed by half the crew gets kidnapped by inept pirates & cause a mutiny partly bc pike's cooking is better than the other captain's #i'm not even close to complaining btw. this is a feature not a bug #every star trek show has the absolute wildest tonal dissonance from ep to ep and it slaps
