I'm Gonna Show You How To Lie - Star Trek Strange New Worlds S02E05

[@nivekian]

I love how all the women are there schooling him how to Spock.

[@nicholasclarke171]

And Erica does the best job of it despite being by far the least serious and vulcanised of them...she's something else. 😏

[@sima4162]

​@@nicholasclarke171In another episode she mentioned how dangerous it is to get in the middle of Vulcan relationships and that she still has scars. I have a theory that she may have gotten into a relationship with a Vulcan, perhaps for quite a while, then it turned out that they had a Vulcan partner and that partner caught wind of what was going on and tried to kill her with a lirpa

[@marioluigi9599]

Now just imagine if it was the other way around. If that was a woman being schooled by men And if that isn't acceptable. Why is this?

[@Mark-ke1rj]

So sick of the woke Hollywood "women always know better" nonsense.

[@mariajohnson-tanner2720]

Yes but how does Amanda pick up that scolding hot kettle?

[@SeanOHanlon]

"Are you kidding?! You're going there already?" 😂

[@nicholasemjohnson47]

Spock, she hasn't even started.

[@Perebynis]

"I´m Vulcan. I love logic." 🤣🤣🤣

[@bobpage6597]

When he stood up for his mother later, allowing the emotions of his human side to lead him - that was an awesome moment to witness. You could see the genuine appreciation from his mother, and he was right. She stood and faced all the prejudicial shit the Vulcans put her through and she suffered in silence for her son. That's real strength of character - and its so typical of a human mother (a loving one anyway)

[@hmmmmm6056]

Just pure gold the ladies teaching Vulcanism..lol

[@katespicer3096]

Amanda is such a good mother

[@eliza5844]

I like how Amanda's voice slightly pitchs up when she holds the pot, good work on Mia Kirshner part.

[@delilah2539]

Loved this episode. Spock got to experience what he’s mother went through, what she still goes through, simply because she’s human.

[@matiasrocha317]

Star Trek strange new worlds is the perfect prequel in my opinion . The writing is on point with the characters . Sometimes the show is so slow , but I love it . I can't wait to watch the next episode 🖖🖖🖖 .

[@seanbraley2772]

It’s pretty good minimal plot holes and inconsistencies

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

I never skip the intro. Never...

[@nicholasmaude6906]

Something to keep in mind is that Vulcan emotions are stronger than human emotions.

[@pirobot668beta]

And this is why they live such disciplined lives.

[@user-hc8oj8cv4f]

0:40 as a human with hypersensitivity I must say, Amanda Grayson, stOP DOING THAT THIS INSTANT!!!!!

[@AndyCutright]

That is quite the bodice.

[@MaxwellsDemon9]

I love how this riffs on famous stories from the franchise, recreates familiar sets and samples from the soundtracks.

[@OptimusWombat]

Their sandwiches look really good. I hope they didn't get wasted.

[@roguelead72]

That's why Uhara asked for them to go.

[@OptimusWombat]

@@roguelead72 good point.

[@Jayjay-qe6um]

I still think they're not teaching him to lied, they just teaching him to exaggerate or implied.

[@Winterascent]

She suppressed 0:30 her own pain, never mind the infected blisters and sloughing flesh from repeated injuries to the hands for refusing to use an insulated glove when handling scalding hot objects.

[@Jokie155]

I assume they have dermal regenerators, or something of that effect by this point in the timeline. I know in the TNG era they're so easy to use that people have them in bed drawers, so it's probably not quite as bad as it would be compared to our level of medicine.

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

Scalding hot is usually something people say to indicate something intolerably uncomfortable, not actually damaging. Something can easily be hot enough that most people can't stand to touch it, but not quite hot enough to actually damage skin. And frankly, most humans have a pretty low tolerance for it. The ones that claim the opposite most often and most loudly, are usually the ones with the lowest tolerance of all.

[@mollymcintosh2090]

Mia Kirshner is a great casting choice for Amanda!

[@aaronbrown89]

🖖🏾 Excellent casting as Amanda!

[@TheSighphiguy]

you dont think shes too young? they look the same age.

[@jimmyhunter1810]

She’s delightful.

[@randomrazr]

spocks milfy mom

[@tripdiz1341]

Futuristic corsets are still as effective.

[@phixix]

I still cant believe they cast Jenny Schecter as Spock and Burnhams mom

[@Jennifer-wr9si]

I know, it's never not weird.

[@Lewis-4]

Burnhams *step mom

[@landnanners2011]

She is also Sybock's Step mother.

[@GeoFry3]

My wife and daughter watching me eat pizza seconds out of the oven. "It's scalding hot! How do you do that?!" Me: \\// "suppress your emotions."

[@taiwansivispacemparabellum9546]

Instead of oven mitts, this guy uses prosthetic ears instead. 🖖🏽

[@dkajj]

As the cook in the family, I amaze my kids with this skill constantly, as I remember being amazed by my parents.

[@alonenjersey]

I've been a fan of Star Trek for more than 40 years and I still haven't mastered the art of raising just one eyebrow.

[@jamiefoyers2800]

I love any Star Trek that has the Vulcans and their customs as the main subject of an episode and this one was a bit of an eye-opener. See if you happen to be Rh negative...a HELL of a lot of "Vulcan" traits seem to be ours...I have to wonder if WE are actually the templates for the Vulcans...it's quite crazy but there's some logic to it. When Amanda held that burning hot teapot...and suppressed the emotion and sensation...that is exactly something I would do...anyone else Rh Negative out there handle and suppress pain and emotion in this way or is it just me?.

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

Vulcan culture is largely a combination of Hebrew and Taoist traditions and aspects, given a bit of a twist as they're blended to make them seem more alien. Most of the Vulcan culture we see in Star Trek for the last 50 years, has been the creation of Leonard Nimoy himself. Roddenberry had very little on the table for them, at first, and once Nimoy finally got into the character, he pretty much built their entire civilization from scratch. Others contributed a great deal to smooth everything out and bring it to audiences, but the foundation of it and all the key aspects, are pretty much all Nimoy.

[@FailSonOfAnarchy]

0:47 I like how they're just making fun of how he talks.

[@user-xt4uf6ij6w]

i love how the ladies are helping spock lol

[@stevekohl5351]

I live in Iowa and have visited Riverside. I have yet to find the Federation shipyards there.

[@robertrivett2069]

LOVE this show!!! STSNW 😀❤

[@imeldafonseca6314]

1:48 His Face 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Whitpusmc]

Spock’s mom… hot as the tea pot…

[@darconious524]

So spock is going through puberty after turning human? The poor hero lol So much teen angst with so little time to process

[@boybawang1981]

Wonder if Spock was ever told, "Ish-veh mom has wuh nice eku t' thasek!"!?

[@Woodsurfcomedy]

Spock smells like a human for this. Outed in seconds when they meet.

[@Yasuda9000]

Spock trying to behave like a Vulcan again. It's not working. It's torture. Someone vulcan nerve pinch me. A Vulcan shows up and nerve pinches me. Me: Thank you. (Knocked out).

[@JuanNgtse]

its funny he forgot to be vulcan, as he still retain his memories.

[@nicholasemjohnson47]

It's not that he forgot; it's just that his Vulcan instincts were removed and he doesn't know how to do things the human way.

[@nicholasemjohnson47]

Although now that I think of it, he still lived among Vulcans for so long, so he should've retained knowledge of their mannerisms.

[@quazylade90]

He is so handsome. I read he is Gregory pecks grandson. I see it.

[@dkajj]

That burger looked pretty darn good

[@thegrimmretails3777]

How dumb am I that I didn't realize that was Amanda until I read the comments.

[@FlintIronstag23]

So why did they cast such a young actress as Spock's mom? Since she is human you can't say she just looks young because she is Vulcan. In reality there is only 11 years difference in age between Mia Kirshner and Ethan Peck. At least in TOS, Jane Wyatt was 20 years older than Leonard Nimoy so it was more believable.

[@wj3186]

So Spock mom can be hot but he can still be hotter.

[@guilhermesavoya2366]

Some people just look younger, specially in the future

[@alexxxaa2366]

Human life expectancy is about 150 years give or take in star trek sooo that would explain why she looks young😃

[@ExtremeMadnessX]

They are in the 23rd century, and humans age slowly because of better medicine and better life conditions.

[@Deora-hn5bq]

You have to consider that Mia Kirshner's first appearance as Amanda was in a flashback scene (which took place about a decade ago) in Discovery season 1. And Discovery had other flashback scenes where Spock was a little kid, so they had to take into account of her being that kid's mom. It's hard to imagine now, but when Kirshner was cast SNW wasn't even pitched and they didn't cast any actor as Spock.

[@nicholasemjohnson47]

I know Spock's alteration made him lose certain abilities and instincts, but why would he have to learn how to *speak* like a Vulcan? He still grew up on the planet, so he obviously must still know that.

[@dewdew80]

It's weird how human Spock looks like young Brendan Fraser

[@salilbhatnagar]

Human spock is literally a child lmao

[@ApocalypseNext]

She, uh, didn't exactly answer the question about the captain okaying the plan...

[@dukebune3329]

I am Vulcan, I love logic 😂😂😂

[@Rob8729]

A bunch of non Vulcans trying to teach how to be Vulcan...Yup I see no potential problems with that.

[@yodaz101]

Kutchner looks hot...

[@nivekian]

She distracted me because I had to see who she was, recognized her from Crow 2 and L Word. Looks awesome.

[@roguelead72]

Spock's mom's got it going on.

[@OptimusWombat]

Looks? She _is_ hot!

[@damaddog8065]

Poor Slock getting tortured.

[@twilightlovertje5909]

2:09/4:55 😅😂🤣

[@Jason.W.]

1:00 “I love logic”? Instruction unclear …

[@TheSighphiguy]

I couldnt buy her as his mom since shes only 11 years older than him.

[@TheRealLaughingGravy]

All I know is, if my mom was that hot, I'd have issues, too.

[@kbrich-nn8od]

OK I haven't seen this episode, what happened to Spock's ears'/???

[@stars9084]

He and Chapel were in a shuttle crash accidentally caused by an advanced alien race’s technology. They decided they had to heal the two of them. They saw Chapel’s fully human DNA and Spock’s half human and took it to mean that Spock’s Vulcan DNA was an error, so they removed it

[@shanenway2647]

Spocks moms hot...sorry

[@thegrimmretails3777]

Why? I'm gay and I'd hit it.

[@Kielimies]

In other words, I'm gonna teach you how to be a...

[@mreboric8406]

Him mom is a smoke show

[@dammitjim9131]

Spock's mom is hot like really hot ❤

[@kitkat261]

She looks more like his older sister

[@clivegreen5492]

Amanda Is fit..mmm..I would

[@michaelspath8499]

Who cares if she looks ten years older than her son? 23rd CENTURY!!! So they improve medicine, but not BOTOX?

[@codename495]

Don’t Vulcans age more slowly than humans? I would say Botox has gotten really awesome considering that knowledge.

[@Lewis-4]

Spock’s mommy can show me anything she wants

[@aoca3817]

Yeh i vemember this 1. This is le 1 where Nord 1 & 2 go's 4rom blow 2 suck. With a white 6'ee thing on le German beach4runt trying 2 qwickllee build a hydrogen prduction facilitee. LOL

[@ChrisMusson-kv8ph]

I thought only Disney said put a women in it and make her gay.

[@jackgibsxxx0750]

I like the actress playing Amanda but she is too short.

[@kivimik]

Jane Wyatt (the original Amanda) was 5'4".

[@jerrypatterson55]

did she shit on his chest lol

[@Sch2155]

The first scene alone seems like self imposed torture. "I have learned how to supress my own pain"... Ok...

[@BabySpicyPisces]

I hate how they act like he doesn’t know how to be a Vulcan, he’s not a child

[@kallistiX1]

He's experiencing the full force of human emotions. His internal suppressions have all been removed and, at least part of that, is neurological. He literally cannot help himself.

[@michaelspath8499]

Human beings in human bodies have decades to control their emotions and act like adults. He has ‘one’ day. If he can perfectly fake being Vulcan, there’s no PLOT.

[@Taospark]

There's also parts of how you act that are almost automatic and can't easily recall.

[@nicholasemjohnson47]

It's not that he doesn't know how to be a Vulcan. It's just that part of his knowledge and behavior came from instinct and emotional suppression, and the alterations removed those. Spock was used to the way he spoke because of his suppressions. But the techniques Vulcans use may not work for non-telepathic species like humans, so the alterations removed that and made him less flat. That's why he asked, "Do I really sound like that?" It was so natural, he never noticed it. It's like how even though we instinctively know how to walk and talk, certain disorders like Dementia can remove that knowledge and make us forget. Or how alcohol can remove our inhibitions and make us less controlled.

[@nicholasemjohnson47]

​​@@michaelspath8499 The thing is, Spock was so used to controlling his emotions the Vulcan way, he never learned how to do it the human way. Since Vulcans are telepaths, the techniques they use to suppress their emotions may not work for non-telepaths like humans.

[@carycimino7699]

This crew is a crew they love one another and we them- this is why discovery failed do we even know the whole bridge crew? Too woke as well

[@kbrich-nn8od]

No 1 looks like a giantress'/!!!

[@nivekian]

I mean, it's former Supermodel/ original Mystique Rebecca Romain.

[@Vandalshnitzen]

This looks dumb as hell. I thought Star Trek was about science fiction, not goofy sitcom stuff?

[@nicholasemjohnson47]

It's kinda both, actually.

[@jconradh]

Chapter 2 of how to destroy cannon Star Trek. Make jokes of everything. I only made it 1 minute 48 seconds. 🤬

[@TheBigExclusive]

This is so insulting. The writers want to turn Spock into Sheldon Cooper from TBBT.

[@jammin2575]

No he’s nowhere near like Sheldon, Sheldon Cooper is the most obnoxious, annoying and downright arrogant character I’ve ever seen. Nothing like that.

[@michaelspath8499]

We are never getting classic trek back. After Discovery and Lower Decks. I’m accepting the ‘least’ annoying of all evils.

[@nicholasemjohnson47]

​@@michaelspath8499 You know, many fans of the Original Series thought the same thing about The Next Generation when it came out. Fans of the original will always complain about something different in the new.

[@jurajbeger9299]

I thought tis is a SNL scatch... How did we come to this crap?

[@judymyers9867]

I like who they picked to play Amanda Amanda is a important part of Star Trek spoke human mother I always thought they did it wrong all the other Amanda’s was more Vulcan then human one thing to know about humans it’s hard to bottle emotions

[@victoryengineer]

Good Lord the casting is horrid.

[@titsandrayguns2572]

This is not Spock. This is SPORK!😂
