Strange New Worlds 2x5 "Charades" Reaction (Part 2)

[@ZharelAnger]

5:16 I see Sevet as an authentic Vulcan who does not hide behind a mask of suppression. I would like to see more of him in future episodes.

[@persephonebasilissa5109]

Yes, absolutely!

[@ahatfulofreactions1414]

He seems like a cool guy to invite to a party. 😄

[@persephonebasilissa5109]

I totally agree with you about T'Pring

[@ahatfulofreactions1414]

I just finished season 2 in my time, so I feel free to say that I'm curious what they'll do with her going forward. I do hope we see her again.

[@christopherleodaniels7203]

It’s interesting. I too thought Amanda Grayson seemed young, but Jane Wyatt was 57 on Journey To Babel. And we’re roughly a decade away from that episode chronologically. So, a 48 year-old actress would be just about right.

[@ahatfulofreactions1414]

Nice bit of research. 😄 I thought we were just following the recent trend, like with Aunt May in spiderman. 🤣

@@ahatfulofreactions1414 …lol. I think it’s also the difference between ‘motherly’ in 1967 and in 2024.

14:36 oh my…😮😮😮

[@ahatfulofreactions1414]

It was very sweet. 😊

22:05 That's kind-of like asking which character is the best portrayal of the essence of a human. Even if you narrow it to a core of essential traits, they're unlikely to all be well- represented within a single person. You'll almost certainly need a few specimens for a representative sample. For Vulcans, I think you'd need at least someone like T'Pril or Soval, plus someone like Saavik or Tuvok or Vorik, plus someone like T'Pol or T'Lyn, plus someone like Sevet. For a fuller representation, you'd include Sarek or T'Rina, Sybock and Spock, perhaps others.... ETA: And that's not even counting Surak and any Hitler/Khan-equivalents.

[@ahatfulofreactions1414]

I guess we need to mix 'em all together in a Vulcan stew. 😄

[@ZharelAnger]

@@ahatfulofreactions1414 Not a problem for Pike. He also tends to watch from the background the pot of plots he stirs.

[@indetigersscifireview4360]

And then you sent me a stupid survey. 😁 For my money Tuvok from Voyager is the prototypical Vulcan. Doctor Korby getting some lip service in this episode. I think we can predict something with that, namely that Christine will be leaving for awhile. I didn't know that for sure of course.

[@ahatfulofreactions1414]

As of a few hours ago, I finished season 2 in my time. I'll be interested if we get to see him at all. I like Tuvok as a choice.

[@VonPatzy]

I didn’t realize you were watching SNW!! I just binged your reactions while painting a room the past few days. Query (🤣): have you watched Lower Decks?

[@ahatfulofreactions1414]

I haven't, but I talk about that during the upcoming 2x7 reaction next week. 😅 Hope the painting went well!

[@VonPatzy]

@@ahatfulofreactions1414 That was the reason I asked but I didn’t want to spoil the upcoming crossover in case you hadn’t gotten there and HAD watched LD. Such a fun surprise. Bummed you met the characters backwards but hopefully this inspired you to JUMP DOWN A FEW DECKS immediately after finishing this season of SNW. I would love it if you reacted. I really enjoy your brain.

[@ahatfulofreactions1414]

@@VonPatzy It's definitely one of the things I'm considering. 😅
