Sooo, is Sarek done do ya think?
I love that they tackled the idea of a high functioning race like the Vulcan's getting Dementia. Dysregulated emotion weaponizes his mental abilities. If I recall correctly part of why Vulcan's follow the tenets of Surak and tightly control their emotions is because of how intense they were; but also like you guys pointed out, how hard it must be to live this existences where you have to repress all emotion, positive and negative. It could have been a really hacky episode but it really is one of the best and a great use of a TOS cameo. It also reminded me of Patrick Stewart's performance of Xavier in Logan.
I love TNG (and all Star Trek to be honest) but I cannot wait until you get to DS9. :)
I'm going through DS9 for the first time with my husband and... a few good episodes here and there, but the first couple seasons are bit rough again, just like TNG. Not... TNG Season 1 rough, but still not great.
You know, kudos to you guys for discussing directors and composers and seeing patterns, because no matter how many times I've seen these episodes I have never put that together. You bring another layer of appreciation and analysis that I really enjoy.
So happy that Sarek's return was not spoiled for you guys. Some things just need to be experienced first hand in Star Trek. More awesomeness to come for sure. Thanks as always guys. Can't wait for the next one 🖖
They compared O'Brien's Ten Forward brawl to The Trouble with Tribbles brawl! LOL! Just wait until that certain episode of DS9 hits! LOL. That will be fun to watch their reactions to!!!!
No spoilers!
