      Unless you can crash a shuttle with a Vulcan passenger into an anomaly occupied by aliens who, during medical treatment, mistake their physiology for yours… might be kinda tricky.

    Remember the genetic essentialism of the “everyone becomes Vulcan” episode from the third season. Yeah, not a good look, this episode is now.

    Is anyone watching the 4th season? Want to know if I should bother after the disaster that was the end of last season.

      Only 1 episode so far. Pretty solid, actually, even with some oddly far fetched implications. All I can say for now.

      Edit: And, yeah, that season 3 episode doesn’t hold water at all. Patton Oswalt in the credits was the best part by far.

      First episode was okay-ish. But I heard from creators I often agree with who got screeners that the show’s quality is to improve again in S4.

    Ethan in costume but without ears looks so odd. But I have seen him in person and that doesn’t bother me.

    I don’t think I’ve seen this episode yet. Why are they womansplaining it to him? Is he trying to pretend to be Vulcan still?

      It’s a comedic farce scenario where T’Pring’s parents are visiting to assess his worthiness prior to their betrothed wedding. He just so happens to have been turned human mistakenly by aliens and must “Meet the Parents” his way through the evening.
