Wouldn't it have been more interesting if instead of copying the whole Spock thing, having something original for once like seeing how the Vulcans slowly revealed technology to the human race and the impatience of the humans for being on the other side of the prime directive instead of being on TNG advanced ships with a Spock copy cat.
shareThey name the lead character a man's name, Michael, and then make her half-Vulcan. T'is disappointing and unoriginal.
shareNope, human. Didn't you see her 👂?
shareShe's fully human, the only survivor of a Klingon attack on her colony. Why she was taken by the Vulcans and raised by Sarek and not returned to the Federation is something I guess we will have to find out. I guess her back story is more in line with Worf's.
shareThe Vulcans wouldn't have taken a human as their own. Something's not right here. I'd rather see Sarak's story how he bridges the Vulcans and Humans; how he falls in love with a human; even a baby Spock.
shareApparently you didn't watch the first episode. She's human.
shareI watched it. But honestly I missed that. I had trouble paying attention. The second episode had action and I paid attention more but you can't hold a trekker on action alone. I just thought it was kinda boring and I hate the new Klingon look.
shareShe's human. They even suggested that because of her race, black, she should be more tolerant. She's not a Vulcan.
shareIt's implied that Sarek took an interest in her for some reason, that he saw something in her. I'm sure we'll find out what it is at some point. A vulcan raising a purebred human child (who clearly can't be theirs) is highly unusual.
shareMaybe the Actors Guild of America phoned up Sarek and told him he didn't have enough black kids on Vulcan?
shareWhy black again? She's more tolerant? Of what? What does the West Africans kingdoms who sold slaves to the Spanish and Arabs or Spanish who sold some to the southern USA farm owners have to do with events 500 years or so later?
shareI think the implication was that she should be more tolerant because she was a human that had been raised among Vulcans, so presumably she experienced significant prejudice when growing up.
