Star Trek: Plato's Stepchildren (First Watch: S3E10)

[madimpossibledreamer]

He’s Dead, Jim (Death/injury count): bones and alexander being thrown around & in the case of alexander strangled.  Kirk /stop hitting yourself kirk, spock, bones puppeted, kirk, spock noncom dancing, kirk, again strangled. Chapel & uhura being controlled.

A good loser?

Rude. Also that look of unhappiness on his face?  Not what you’re trying to show.

Eugenics?  You say that as a good thing but these people recently(ish) met the eugenics wars people

Bones, kirk, there was no reason for the two of you to fall over on each other.

“don’t worry about it”

Kirk’s reaction to Alexander.  And his distrust of Utopia (though that’s also characteristic).  I hope they can leave with Alexander.

“perfection” can only exist in contrast.

No, never, temper?

They’re taking advantage of Shatner’s play knowledge, huh?

Laughing Vulcans are somewhat terrifying.

Sometimes there are things more important than dignity.

It’s not me, it’s them—one of the best lessons to learn.

Alexander.  Stooping to their level, engaging in violence…that’s not the answer.

Stop ignoring alexander and give him some too. Or that.  given his first reaction was hate, the fear of the power makes sense.

Kirk’s mad, but you know.  Crewmembers in danger.

Spock and chapel kiss.  Uhura and kirk kiss.

That cruelty.

And Alexander goes on to be whatever he wants to be.

I wonder if they censored the Nazi picture in the credits in Germany too.
