A fraudulent and temporary lack of control is a perfectly logical way to defeat a fool.
This feels surprisingly reminiscent of Spock’s thinking when he ignited the shuttles fuel in “The Galileo Seven.”
Also puppet mindmeld!

Scottie. I was hard on you because I knew you could take it. Declan was a crybaby and his parents were on the board. Legacy students.
Even in the 23rd century nepo-babies are still a thing.

I’m shorter and fluffier than usual but I’m still the captain. And Spock is in trouble. So I’m going to save him! So he can save us.

You are no longer stuck underneath the torpedo?
Uh, I guess not.
You were capable of getting out from under there the entire time?
Well. I realize that now. I’m still learning how this whole puppet thing works.

OK. I don’t care how this episode ends. The sight of Spock on the bridge of the Enterprise surrounded by puppets, including a puppet T’Pring, makes it all worthwhile.

So on the a scale of making an admiral’s prized beagle disappear to triggering a massive transporter accident which radically alters the crew of the flagship of the Federation, how big was your biggest screw up?

It’s kind of cute that the inciting incident for the crisis of the week is Scottie’s rivalry with an old classmate. It feels like a callback to Kirk’s rivalry with Finnegan in “Shore Leave” without the embarrassing Irish stereotyping.

Spock and T’Pring have taken on a very Frasier and Lilith Crane vibe. It really works well when you know that their relationship is doomed to fail.

I will only return to your ship if you assure me me no hijinks of any kind.
I shall, do my best.
Your lack of a promise is very Vulcan.

“Logic is the rhythm of your katra,” sounds like it could be worked into a house music dance number which would have been a huge underground hit in the 1980s.

Getting ready to dive into the puppet episode for #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds. I have no idea how they’re going to pull this off. But given SNW’s track record if any show can pull this off it’s Strange New Worlds. Cautiously optimistic.
She’s something incredible, isn’t she? I think she hates your guts. Yeah, but it’s the way she hates ‘em.

People who want to defund universities don’t appreciate the role they play in keeping rogue ethicists out of your backyard.
