Here's the thing though... it isn't factually incorrect, and taken together with how Ethan Peck has played the character, this line could just be viewed as Spock's attempt at a joke.

Spock really takes Daddy issues to a whole other level that we've never seen

What people don't realize is that this was actually said very sarcastically. The problem is it's so hard to read vulcans no one on Enterprise realized it at the time. For another example of this vulcan sass I give you T'Lyn whose emotional outbursts got her kicked off her vulcan vessel.

You are not wrong. Not at all. I'm really looking forward to see what they do with T'Lyn in the new season. Especially considering the closest we've gotten to a Vulcan comic relief character is Tuvok.

I have something I've been meaning to post which is a comedy bit pointing that out. That to Humans Spock comes off as super straight-laced and square but to Vulcans he's too emotional and prone to outbursts.

RIP Tuvix. Never forget, never forgive.

You could argue that they still lived through him, and their needs were present and expressed by him when he begged not to be murdered.

I hope it's good because you saying that just made me think of how I would do that meme and it made me lol.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 5 points 2 years ago

As with all the ones I've posted so far, it ain't my words. But I think it's pretty good. I'll make it the next one I post.

kicking her off the ship for emotional outbursts that... saved the ship. logic, huh? honestly i got the sense that she wasn't really emotional even by vulcan standards, she was just smarter than everyone else on that ship. they berated her constantly for it until she finally gave a sarcastic reply so that they could give her the boot

I'm not going to say who they are, let's just say it's some asshole who bangs my mom

Oh yeah, this is one of my pet peeves too.

[–] downpunxx@kbin.social 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

technically correct is the best kind of correct

[–] PotjiePig@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

And Vulcans are the masters of being technically correct.

[–] jernej@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Couldn't that be cannonically explained as Spock being secretive about his past?

Rule 1 ~~The Doctor~~ Spock ~~lies~~ is very selective about what truths he tells.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 11 points 2 years ago

Perhaps both things are true. If Sarek also had a human ancestor it would explain quite a bit about him.

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Who knows, maybe he's also related to the Vulcan that stayed behind in Carbon Creek

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

As long as it wasn't on Schitt's Creek.

[–] Tarkcanis@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Wasn't it twice? I guess not at this point though.
