Very cool - am I to understand you drew this poster?
Vulcans go on romantic getaways, too.
They were amnesiac following being joined with the Tal symbiont - they only sorted out these identity issues after Discovery took them to Trill.
Again, though, that completely removes the context of Adira's character arc.
What, in your view, was "exceptional" about Stamets' acceptance in that scene?
I suggest cross-posting this to c/startrek to get maximum eyeballs on it.
Sorry, I've already imagined the backstory of Discovery Season 3-5. Those centuries are now off-limits.
That rather ignores the fact that Adira was an amnesiac stowaway at the time, with some pretty understandable trust issues.
It also ignores that the characters in the scene in exactly the way you're saying they should have.
I disagree - you dislike TNG for completely different reasons.
By far Pike's most noticeable feature in TOS.
