I'm still trying to formulate my thoughts on episode eight of season three of Strange New Worlds, Four-And-A-Half Vulcans.
When I learned earlier that some crew members would become Vulcans, I was leery. I didn't think it would go well. Actually, it wasn't a disaster. It just didn't hit a homer.
I'm tired of funny or quirky episodes, and this was another one. I'm also tired of all of the relationships, and this one was a soap opera.
The thing that bothered me most was the too-easy resolution at the end. There's a nurse's log saying that they're back to normal, and then Spock fights/dances with La'An, and everything is OK with them, too.
The Number One-Doug relationship was WAY too much, too far afield, although I was happy to see the actress (Rebecca Romijn) get to act a bit.
It's funny, but this episode made me like Captain Batel more. I liked to watch the relationship grow between Kirk and Scotty, but they were NOT friends in TOS. And that bothers me.
I can't decide on a number for this one; I still don't know if I like it or not.
