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!
Or she could be pretty typical in regards to emotional intensity but with unusually strong telepathy.
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.
It doesn't come up very often. Their telepathy is very weak and they usually can't do much without physical contact.
Except in Discovery. It works across lightyears in the first episode.

And Spock with V'Ger 🙂🖖
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?
Yes, the Betazoids acted that way because of her.
I doubt the writers will give here Bendi syndrome. Seems too dark for Lower Decks
