It still sounds like something Spock would say : risa

Here's the thing though... it isn't factually incorrect, and taken together with how Ethan Peck has played the character, this line could just be viewed as Spock's attempt at a joke.

What people don't realize is that this was actually said very sarcastically. The problem is it's so hard to read vulcans no one on Enterprise realized it at the time. For another example of this vulcan sass I give you T'Lyn whose emotional outbursts got her kicked off her vulcan vessel.

kicking her off the ship for emotional outbursts that... saved the ship. logic, huh? honestly i got the sense that she wasn't really emotional even by vulcan standards, she was just smarter than everyone else on that ship. they berated her constantly for it until she finally gave a sarcastic reply so that they could give her the boot

Oh yeah, this is one of my pet peeves too.

technically correct is the best kind of correct

[-] PotjiePig@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

And Vulcans are the masters of being technically correct.

Couldn't that be cannonically explained as Spock being secretive about his past?

[-] andthenthreemore@startrek.website 6 points 2 years ago

Rule 1 ~~The Doctor~~ Spock ~~lies~~ is very selective about what truths he tells.

[-] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 13 points 2 years ago

Perhaps both things are true. If Sarek also had a human ancestor it would explain quite a bit about him.

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 9 points 2 years ago

Who knows, maybe he's also related to the Vulcan that stayed behind in Carbon Creek

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

As long as it wasn't on Schitt's Creek.

Wasn't it twice? I guess not at this point though.
