    Pike went to Johnny Bravo’s barber off screen.

    Do you think the humans acting all “logical” is psychosomatic? They’re less aware of the cultural history that lead to Vulcans suppressing their emotions and acting logical, so they think that logic is more of a racial trait, and thus act logical.

    There is a bit of a precedent of logic being genetically encoded with Star Trek Prodigy when

    Dal

    acted more logical upon

      In this case, I’m wondering if, since Spock is the origin of the serum, the crew are somehow reflecting his self-doubts.

        Spock’s insecurities being the cause for whatever is happening here is my hope as well. It’s a funny moment, but it falls apart under even the slightest scrutiny, so I’m hoping Trelene did it or whatever.

      Last season’s Charades also supports the genetically encoded notion. Which goes against everything we know about Vulcans, but makes for fun comedic episodes, so they’re probably going to just keep doing it. Psychosomatic is as good an explanation as any.

        I think “Prodigy” did something similar in season one, when Dal’s various genetic traits were asserting themselves.

    This show seems to only get wilder with every season! I’m here for it though. Now we just need seasons every year, and preferably more episodes too.

      I’ve subscribed to P+ on six different devices doing my part trying to reach the goal of a new episode every twelve hours.
