Uhura: Sure, both are dependent on how seemingly unrelated systems communicate. Uhura: Engineering is a lot like linguistics. The scenes with Uhura sow the seeds of a mentor-protégée bond we may see grow in future adventures. In fact, he is quite a lot more open and willing to share his thoughts and feelings than the Vulcan Science Specialist. I had originally bet on Hemmer being paired with Spock, mistaking the Chief Engineer's curmudgeonliness for defensiveness. It's heartwarming to recognize that he has a type of kindred spirit in La'an.
The show spends a lot of time contrasting Spock with more mercurial and flexible thinkers like Pike and Chapel. We need to go deeper into the brown dwarf.
If we go deeper, it could destroy the ship. Spock: If we leave the brown dwarf, they will see us. As a captain, there is no loss more devastating than that.īesides the fact that Spock is the only crewmate capable of performing the mind meld with her, he is also someone who - by nature and culture - is just as dispassionate about being mission-first. As a captain, there is no loss more devastating than that of a crew member. I love that the mind meld provides a two-way link, giving her a glimpse into Spock's grief at losing his sister and providing an emotional middle ground that they share.Įxploration can exact a heavy toll. Her literal connection to Spock through their mind meld allows them both to access the memories she's never been able (nor wanted to) revisit with clarity. He both trusts her and worries about her. Pike's figuring things out about La'an as well. : The enemy doesn’t care about my feelings, Captain, so I don’t waste my time having any.La’an: The enemy doesn’t care about my feelings, Captain, so I don’t waste my time having any. Una's gotten to know her well enough to recognize intervention is needed, but their friendship is such that she stops short of ordering her to undergo therapy. Of course, La'an's stoicism probably covers for a lot of her issues. They aren’t supernatural, but they are monsters. Ortegas: The Gorn? Really? We’re out here fighting the Boogyman? No one has even seen one, so how are we supposed to take them on? Mental health support isn't exactly a traditionally high priority among organizations like Starfleet. I mean, despite the classified nature of Pike's trauma, April pretty much ordered him to saddle up and get back to it on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 1 Episode 1. I'm chalking it up to the earlier days of Starfleet that they'd allow an officer with her level of unresolved trauma just to carry on.
