I can't be the only one who was reminded of the classic scene from "Amok Time", right? (id in alt)

Sexy non-binary pirate possibly reoccurring villain?! Fuck yeah!
Captain Pike cooking for the pirates as incentive for them to stop punching him in the face XD
Messy messy relationship shit between Spock and Chapel and T’Pring?! Fuck yeah!
The crew dying from second hand embarrassment while Pike does a very stupid pirate impression? As if I didn’t already love him enough!

TFW you accidentally kiss your coworker more passionately than your fiancée as a part of an elaborate yet quickly invented lie to prevent your half-brother from being broken out of a criminal rehabilitation facility

I'm certain that those who have seen the TOS episode Amok Time immediately recognized the name of T'Pring's colleague in the latest SNW episode. But did you know that producer Robert Justman and script editor Dorothy Fontana feared that elements of Theodore Sturgeon's script might cause unintentional laughter and needed to fix certain things in Amok Time? Here's Stonn's original name:

The proposed relationships in The Serene Squall make me so glad spock doesn't end up with either of them. Like, they both have this weird exoticism towards him because he's half vulcan, half human. T'pring puts emphasis on his human half to an uncomfortable degree, like less a partner taking interest in his culture and more that she finds him 'exotic' because of it. Chapel, by contrast, puts emphasis on his vulcan half as a way to distance herself completely from the prospect of genuine connection. The implication being that as a vulcan, he's incapable of it when we know it's not true. Saying that, it makes me interested in seeing the development of him growing beyond these relationships as his sense of true self grows and his confidence/conflict with that. I hope these things aren't proposed to be positives in a relationship that spock has to strive for because that will be really uncomfortable.

I have sat with it for a bit, and I have more Serene Squall Thoughts:
-Remy/Pike is my new favorite crack ship. Get yourself an Orion bear who says your cooking is edible.
-Erica Ortegas is a little shit and I LOVE her for it
-Seriously move over Sulu and Keyla, Ortegas is my new favorite Starfleet cocky queer jock pilot.
-T’Pring I love you you are my new favorite but also godDAMN is Stonn a downgrade what will you even be thinking
-Honestly, at this point, the thing that splits T’Pring and Spock is going to be so devastating I am going to die. I am going to descend to hell and die. I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU YOU POOR MIXED UP KIDS
-I hope we see more of Angel and I hope they never die and always get to be out there chewing the scenery and being snarky about their boyfriend’s little brother. Unhinged NB Pirates are the best Pirates.

I swear to all that is queer and fruity
Spock reacts to Kirk the same way he reacts to literally every other person he feels even a modicum of attraction to in that:
A) He speaks in fewer words or just doesn’t speak at all, generally just lets that person interrupt him more.
B) Tries to get the hell out of there as quickly as possible. But also not really, he’s awkward and bad at leaving.
He’s slow to pick up on Chapel’s flirting and doesn’t try to be all smart around her. Their words after Spock Amok & Serene Squall are stunted and simple. Then he wriggles away from the conversation because fEeliNgS nO
The way Angel manipulated him good god, “Oh my poor dead vulcan fiancé 😭 you remind me of him y’know 😉” the frickin scene after he catches them walking out of a workout and having him help them put on their necklace when they’re alone in the turbolift? Angel manipulated, mansplained, malewifed our poor boy!
Anyway, Spock’s a mess.
Then what’s he do the first time he sees Kirk shirtless, you can HEAR the breaks screeching in his brain. Bare minimum conversational exchange, Jim giving him that appraising “you doin alright?” Look when Spock kinda just… trails off… a bit… Then leaves so quick “I have important work that you probably ordered me to do okay byyyyyyye”
Basically what I’m saying is the best evidence we have that Spock isn’t attracted to T’Pring is that he’s wayyyyyy too smooth with her. Way too scripted, way too “am I getting a good grade in Vulcan bondmate? Which is a normal thing to want and possible to achieve?” fiancé-ly actions be damned, that boy doesn’t love her.
Spock is the worst flirt in the galaxy when he actually has chemistry with someone beyond friendship, it’s just true.
