They're also doing a really good job of playing out the long arc of T'Pring and Spock having genuine affection for each other to the point where we're actually kind of going to be on T'Pring's side when she finally reaches the conclusion of "Man, fuck that guy"
I would not be opposed if episode five of every season of SNW involves Vulcan Hijinks.
- I’ve seen a great amount of curmudgeonly criticism of this episode in other places.
  
  Can’t understand it really. There really seems to be a contingent of fans that just don’t want to have fun.
  
  That's exactly what it is. They have an extremely narrow and boring definition of what Star Trek is "supposed" to be, and revolt against anything that steps outside that, be it comedy, action, whatever.
