This week on Our Sci Fi World, we’re in Star Trek Discovery 208, and what should have been a meaningful Spock backstory turns into a full blown debate about one thing
what if someone is smart… but still completely missing it
Jeff’s tracking the logic. The canon. The intent.
Steph’s stuck on something else entirely
this does not feel as deep as the show thinks it is
And once that door opens, it does not close.
So now we’re talking about
why that emotional reveal felt weak
why “I was protecting you” might be the most overused trope in existence
and whether being intelligent actually means you understand people at all
Meanwhile Hugh is back and clearly not okay, which somehow leads to the question
does fighting someone fix anything or are we all just pretending it does
Also
Spock politely dismantling people like a professional
Giorgio saying do not contact Discovery and then immediately contacting Discovery
and one completely unhinged comparison to Air Bud that somehow makes too much sense
At some point this stops being about Star Trek
and turns into a very real argument about how people think, how people heal, and how easy it is to believe you understand something when you really do not
