    I laughed more times in that one episode than I have during hundreds of previous Trek episodes COMBINED. Trek comedy has never landed with me which makes this the best Trek comedy ever by a large margin. Angsty Spock and the crew’s reaction to him were genuinely funny, with a special nod to Pike’s “WTF” facial reactions in the background during the ceremony.

    Going in spoiler-free and without having read people’s opinions in this thread, I’m going to guess this is going to be one hell of a polarizing episode. But one I really enjoyed, so there’s that.

      It is a great what if episode ( what if Spock was human for a day) and colors within the lines (in that everyone else plays true to the their character & situation).

      We really really enjoyed it!

      Spock being human was great in that he had no clue how to be human, like when he overlaughs at the bar. Lol!

      Now… there are a few moments where I feel like the dialog of the Vulcans used more emotional words than the precise language of logic might require.

      One is where T’Pring says her mother felt and perhaps believed would have been a more rational word choice?

      There are a few cases like that and for me it is surprising each time it happens.
