Why did the subtitles always spell it as “high jinks” instead of hijinks? Is that some dialectal variant I was unaware of?
29k km didn’t seem that far in terms of “more than two days away” space travel.
I liked Pelia’s noodle hair. I also guess I never particularly noticed her bare feet before, now that Starfleet Academy started emphasizing it as a Lanthanite trait or quirk. Or was it not a thing before and they made it a thing for this season?
When Scotty got free from the weight, I thought the answer would have been Looney Tunes style cartoon physics. Like they can win, but so long as it’s a gag / funny. Maybe they tried doing that and it didn’t quite land.
I liked the insight into Orion culture, and the way the second in command acted. Sometimes I too just want to be told what to do. Like a vacation for my brain.
The “it was all a dream” felt like a betrayal. Just kind of wasting my time. At least Spock was developing a little bit.
“high jinks” might be intentional, and meant to be the vulcan’s way of being dismissive of the human’s nonsense by deliberately pronouncing it as two words.
Puppet Pelia threw her shoes at one of the Orions early on.
Yeah, I think there was a degree of that in the final solution, with La’An running across the walls and making a perfect three-point landing and the like, but they didn’t quite commit to it.
