Star Trek: The Changeling (First Watch: S2E3)

Death/hurt count: …scotty???  Dead?? Say it ain’t so, Bones.  & now he’s un-dead.  & Uhura’s mind-wiped.  2 red shirts (dead?) 2 more red shirts.

Worry about the lost people.  Lots of them.

There’s usually at least one woman on Bridge beside Uhura.

You know, for railings, those things are useless during turbulence.

Nothing we know of.  Yet.

PROBLEMATICAL  I’M GONNA USE THAT WORD

Peaceful, which is why we shoot first and ask questions later (why is that such a problem in Discovery when that’s the usual operating procedure for TOS!Enterprise—shoot first, then try for diplomacy after a warning shot?)

Morse??

Talk through math!

Noman?  Like Nemo?

“Do you require any special conditions—any particular atmosphere or environment?” –Kirk science fiction!!  This is science fiction!!

“All things have a point of origin.” That’s a slightly alien obsession.

“I contain no parasites.”  Interesting.

Well, it still might have anti-Robot tendencies, but it’s better than Star Wars on how droids are treated.  Mostly because you actually see droids treated like slaves or worse in Star Wars.

Yeah, get the Vulcan to talk to the Robotic Representative.

Hmm.  Actually, if you get all interested in the words, Star Wars kind of communicates the fact that it’s mostly about the action.  Star Trek is a journey.  I like that.

And Kirk once again betrays his early NASA (I assume this was suggested to be future NASA) geekdom.

Destroy not perfect?  UUUUUUHHH.

Also, why you callin him Creator?

Spock’s fast.

Red shirt in charge of probe.  Uh-oh.

Remembers his lectures at the Academy.

Singh?  Interesting name choice, Red shirt.

NONE OF THAT.  THE RESULT IS DEATH.

Or, you know, wandering off.

Are you related?

Uhura’s communication skills.

Protect the Uhura!

Kirk’s furious, but then, he always is when crew is in danger/hurt.

The repair worked.

Speaking Swahili.  😊

Chapel and Uhura being friends is adorable and needs to happen more often.

Mind probe works on probe=it is life

That hug.

YOU KNOW ABOUT CHANGELINGS????  I am gonna hug you.  You could say no, but.  HUGGG

He told you to stay put.

Is this the question that breaks them, or?

That is so sinister.

Confuse the cat.

The Kirk.

Beating him with the application of logic.  Good job Kirk.

That hurts a little Spock :(

Kirk you’re so pulling Spock’s chain now that was amazing.
