At first I didn’t really like this episode because of how off as Vulcans they seemed. Like they were overacting pretending to be a Vulcan.
But then I started thinking “well it kinda makes sense - they aren’t “real” Vulcans but a blend” and thankfully the whole Katra thing basically said the same thing.
Basically hardware-wise they are Vulcan and software-wise they are still human and as a result the 2 “systems” have trouble working together.
I loved Patton as Doug - even if it didn’t really make sense to me with everything we know about Vulcans.
In the end though it’s just another episode that makes me sad this is a prequel and all the great character development will get thrown out.
I’m especially mad they keep developing Spock specifically.
Ethan Peck has done such a great job portraying Spock working on understanding and accepting his 2 halves that this show ends up being a disservice to both him and Leonard Nimoy.
Since La’an doesn’t make it to TOS, my guess is she dies by the end of the show and the pain of losing her drives Spock to push his humanity aside. I was expecting that to happen with the Chapel break-up, but then they brought La’an into things, so I transferred the theory onto her instead 😂
