Me while watching These Old Scientists: You know what would be great in this crossover? If the SNW intro was done in Lower Decks animation style this time.
The intro to SNW: *is done in Lower Decks animation style*
I get that they already cast Mia Kirshner as Amanda Grayson for Star Trek Discovery, but that was when Spock was a child ? So why get the same woman to play Spock’s mom when he’s like 30 ??? Mia Kirshner is literally only 11 years older that Ethan Peck and looks like she could be his sister.
Like bro ? I’m sorry but you do not look old enough to be this dudes mom, and it’s distracting.
I get that these are meant to be like 12 years apart but W H A T ?
I know not all Jews eschew bacon, and that Spock isn't canonically Jewish, but I was still kind of disappointed that that's what they had him go ape over.
welcome to my official sam kirk stan blog. hes my little champ and im taking him to get some frozen yogurt later, which is his favorite food. (twitter) [ID in alt]
Not Chapel being a poor match for Spock at chess while Kirk notes what he could’ve done before they even met! Foreshadowing future events!
Not Chapel shying away from the newly intimate nature of their relationship when Spock brings it up!
Not the closing of the episode being a First Contact ass handshake where he sits with Jim and Uhura for the very first time
NOT UHURA SMILING WHEN IT HAPPENS (Nyota being responsible for these two meeting is S tier actually).
Not the whole Chapel is similar to Kirk and La’an is similar to Spock romantic patterns folding over top of each other themes compounding all throughout the episode!
On TOP of being an excellent character study on what they’ve established about Uhura!
I am so HERE for this!

I'm gonna imagine that Hemmer actually landed straight into a big pile of snow and survived, and then the cold killed the gorn eggs, and then he just lived on that planet because hey, it's just like Andoria so totally habitable by his standards, until he's going to be found there next season
The discourse: Spock scarfing down bacon the minute he turns human is thinly veiled antisemitism.
Me, an ex-Orthodox Jew whose first act upon abandoning kashrut as an adult was to scarf down bacon, and who still finds bacon to be one of life's most delightful guilty pleasures: Umm....it's complicated...
