That was a fun episode. Hopefully they don't kill T'lyn due to her Bendii like syndrome. Like how Mariner and T'lyn shared a moment. Betazoids intelligence agents taking the Cerritos across the neutral zone was that due to T'lyn influence?

The peptalk that Mariner gave T'Lyn was absolutely fantastic. There were so many good moments in this episode, but that is probably my favorite.

The Romulans that are disappointed when the Cerritos does not cross into the Neutral Zone was hilarious too.

"Then I suppose, by the transitive property, that I, too, am 'as Vulcan as a motherfucker.'"

I wonder if she actually has Bendii syndrome or if she's just more emotional than a typical Vulcan? Sarek only lived 2 years after his symptoms started showing!

[-] VindictiveJudge@startrek.website 8 points 11 months ago

Or she could be pretty typical in regards to emotional intensity but with unusually strong telepathy.

[-] ieightpi@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

So I'm feeling really dumb on my trek lore, but Vulcans have telepathy? I mean I guess their mind meld is a obvious giveaway. I just never considered the two one in the same.

[-] VindictiveJudge@startrek.website 6 points 11 months ago

It doesn't come up very often. Their telepathy is very weak and they usually can't do much without physical contact.

[-] JWBananas@startrek.website 3 points 11 months ago

Except in Discovery. It works across lightyears in the first episode.

How can I get into TOS?

TOS and Abrams content is the only thing I haven't done yet.

Got a good watch list for the critical stuff?

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Yes, the Betazoids acted that way because of her.

[-] ieightpi@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I doubt the writers will give here Bendi syndrome. Seems too dark for Lower Decks
