May I ask why? I'm not sealioning, I am really enjoying it but I'd like to hear you're opinion.

It doesn't help that I'm not into horror and there were already 2 eps in that vein. 😅 Then I'm deeply concerned that BOTH Batel and La'an are going to be fridged.

A fan theory circulating via an article commenting that Batel was doing the "TOS slow Gorn shuffle" (& the chimera thing) implies that Batel may be turned INTO the TOS Gorn. There aren't any hints of La'an being fridged for Spock, but it may happen given that we know TOS Spock was completely emotionless.

Dang it birdproof those are exactly my concerns. I dig the complete fan-service of the series, and Mr. Mount's hair is a character all unto itself. (Helps that he's easy and fun to watch) Ms. Romjin is doing something pretty interesting. And Ms. Ross is playing the enthusiasm with brains and the brains with enthusiasm.

But Spock and the Gorn are icebergs we're sailing straight into. And my denial isn't working so well.

I do love SNW! But yeah, when the writers start to arc things, I get worried, because while I enjoy arcs in general, if you don't like the basic premise from the beginning, it's going to be one hell of a ride. 🙈 Prequels trying to arc into existing canon is so tricky. (Another reason why I think they should stop making Star Trek prequels and stick with new adventures with a new crew.)
