I always thought this was a bullshit cop-out.

No you didn't, you lied.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 67 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Agreed. I'm guessing this is one of those 'myths' that Humanity has about Vulcans and the Vulcans just play completely into it to have an advantage. But the longer a human works with a Vulcan, the sooner they realize that it's utter bullshit and that most Vulcans are a bunch of lying emotional sluts

Emotional slut:

I mean it's largely Berman at play here, but still.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Berman

May his dick be infested with a thousand termites.

[–] aeronmelon@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Old Vulcan proverb.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Ha! I get it, because termites eat wood! This is very logical. I enjoy this.

You can’t fix everything Trip.

Beaming her out into space is not a solution

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, DS9 era Miles can fix everything, even a broken marriage. Not his broken marriage mind you.

[–] JWBananas@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

His marriage is fine. It's his own trauma that he's running from. That's why he spends his days fixing everything else and his nights playing dress-up and dolls.

I will retuuurrrrrrrrn

[–] aeronmelon@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

I read that in Trip's voice.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Wasn't Spock originally supposed to be an android, but they changed him to space elf because of budget?

I could be making this up. I feel like that's something I read though.

That would explain the no lying thing.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not sure about android but he was supposed to be Martian and have red skin. However there were a lot of complaints about 'devil' comparisons.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I was mixing things up, it was phase II that was supposed to have the Android.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

IIRC, it was the Vulcan science officer in Star Trek: Phase II that they originally wanted to be an android.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's exactly what it was! Thank you

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

We come to serve

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I can't find anything to indicate that, but this novel has a wild plot involving android versions of seemingly half of Starfleet.

most Vulcans are a bunch of lying emotional sluts

Vulcans = twinks in their early 20s?

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I mean they're not even bound to tell the truth like the Aes Sedai, who anyway manage to deceive plenty. Plus even if Vulcans had some kind of instinct to only tell the truth, Spock is part human.
