Wow did I laugh in this episode. This show has such amazing characters and an amazing cast to give them life. Peck must have relished this script when he saw it. Unlike Discovery where 4 seasons in I still barely know half the cast because almost every episode features heavily on forever whispering, crying, Godlike and most importantly, the immensely unlikable Michael Burnham. Even her name sucks. Anyway back to Peck giving an incredibly enjoyable performance as a human Spock. His expressions alone and those of Pike's kept cracking me up. Anyone not enjoying this episode for what it was simply is not any fan of Trek. The rest of the cast ( especially Chappell ) also did great jobs in further warming us toward the crew. This season has been stellar with the exception of the awful ep 3 featuring the horribly casted Wesley as no Kirk that would exist in any timeline or Universe. Only two caveats is Pike's cabin seems to increase in size every episode and will seemingly encompass a whole deck and Spock and Chapel's relationship, while welcomed is eons from the frosty one ( on Spock's side ) witnessed on TOS. Well done comedic episode.
