The Vulcan serum from “Four and half Vulcans” works a lot like the super soldier serum in the MCU. The modified humans become more extreme versions of themselves. Pike becomes an even more obsessive cook. La’an becomes paranoid and obsessed with war. Chapel turns into a workaholic who shuts out all her friends. And Uhura becomes obsessed with turning Beto into the perfect Vulcan boyfriend.

It’s interesting to note that when Spock was turned into a human, he acted more like a teenager than like a human adult. The human/Vulcans in “Four and a half Vulcans” are similar in that they rush headlong into using their new Vulcan abilities almost like young people who get drunk the night that they turn 21. #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds
“Four and a half Vulcans” could have been much more subdued and less divisive if Spock had had the confidence to put his foot down and say, “No you are not Vulcans. You are merely humans who have been temporarily enhanced with Vulcan DNA and epigenetics. Without the proper training in Surak meditation, you will all go insane in a matter of days.”
And since we are told that the Vulcan serum was, “derived from Spock’s perceived experiences,” I wonder how much of the funny Vulcan racism reflects Spock’s own struggles and self-doubt about his own Vulcan bona fides.
