Now I understood why Starfleet was not keen on making full Vulcan crews, because they would be too efficient you have evidence: this clip and DS9 "Take me to the holosuite"
It is also ironic that human genetic engineering in the 24th Century, like that done for Dr. Bashir, more or less just gives them Vulcan base-line intelligence, strength and coordination.

I'm not one to usually point out inaccuracies but Half-Human Spock turned 100% Human and couldn't deal with the lack of control because he was experiencing the emotions in a new way, he still had all his training AS a Vulcan to draw upon but couldn't do it. They turned from 100% Human to 100% Vulcan and instantly acclimated to it, they would not suddenly have years of training to control their emotions.
Well not sure how it works, but you gotta remember as humans they'd have years of controlling emotions... sure Vulcans have stronger ones but we humans have just as strong sometimes and we control them well enough naturally, doubt the change would have altered them to the point all that being used to emotions as a human was wiped away, i mean that would be a total brain scramble... and i doubt that happened.
One thing I continue to absolutely love about SNW is how it so PERFECTLY captures my childhood growing up with VHS copies of TOS episodes. These FEEL so much like those old tapes, old adventures while still very much being modern productions. It's bloody magical.
It's hilarious that it completely changed their hair styles too. Uhura went from free flow to (what looks like) twisted butterfly locs instantaneously. 🤣
And we thought Pike's hair couldn't get any taller..... I think we should get a behind the scenes short of Anson getting his hair done and the Vulcan engineering THAT takes!!
Why did all the characters start acting Spock-like when they were made Vulcan? That kind of control isn't genetic, it's discipline. They should have been deeply passionate.
In case anyone is wondering (and if no one has figured it out yet), the music used for the corridor scene is NOT some obscure Beastie Boys song. It’s by a group named “The Home of Happy”, and the track itself is titled “Reckless Youth” (seems oddly appropriate!). Anyway, if you search for the name of the group and the song title here on TH-cam, you will find the official music video, such as it is (less than two minutes, no actual video, just audio). LLAP!
Number of points:- 1. One hell of a serum it is also a hairdresser. 2. Turns them Vulcan but they haven’t had the years of training to control their emotions so wouldn’t they be more like Romulans? 3. Why would Spock not take the serum and change his human half to Vulcan and make it 5/5.
It seems they treat their fan as brain dead goats. Star trek is completely magic freak show. No principal and laws. In s02 doctor was fighting like marine, kids teaching Spock.
"In my time we knew not of Earth men. I am pleased to see we have differences. May we together become greater than the sum of both of us." -a replicant with the memories of Surak, founder of the Vulcan way of life, to Kirk in "The Savage Curtain"
I‘m sorry but Pike‘s hair = Pelia‘s words in this scene, “I had the same problem with LSD in the 1960s, and the 1990s and last July“. OMG that had me laughing more than I care to admit. I want a spin-off series of Lanthinites (sp?).
@@rickjohnston2667 When they re-remaster the TOS they should CGI in "The Concert" and all 7 "Mona Lisas" and then CGI in Spock rolling his eyes. I was still hoping Kovich was Flint, and the whole last season of DISCO was him and Pelia doing an art scam.
The hall way walk through reminded me of a line form the movie"They Live", where Rod Piper sad "I have come here chew bubble gum and kick ass. I am all out of bubble gum."
Not to be a party-pooper for a great scene, but they wouldn't be so logical be simply becoming biological Vulcans. On the contrary, they would become hyper-emotional. Vulcan emotional detachment is not genetic; it is acquired through decades of rigorous mental discipline and training.
Did you get any "Kill Bill" vibes from it? (Reference "O-Ren Ishii and the Crazy 88 walking through the club/restaurant in Tokyo while everyone else kowtows to them")
Not to nitpick but I thought the reason vulcans were logical was because of all the training and meditation. How could that be conferred in a hypospray?
What nitpick? You're completely right. As to your hypospray question, the answer is lazy writing, that's completely indifferent to well established continuity.
I had the same thought. It's frustrating, but it can make a great story. Maybe there's a point where they can't handle their emotions and have to learn Kolinahr.
I was wondering that, but I'm going to assume they added some kind of emotional stabilizer to the serum. Sure it's a handwave-y shortcut, but Trek has always played pretty fast and loose with its own rules and continuity, lol.
Pike wielding that lirpa looks like he's a whisker away from Pon Farr. Although this clip seemed to present the ironic/comical side of the transformation, the crew members really nail the menacing alien vibe. My question is whether these crew members transformed into Vulcans who haven't completed Kolinahr and don't have control of their hostile/aggressive emotions. If so, then put your phasers on stun...
I think I can hear Spock's internal screaming
Yeah, every time they did a dig at him for only being half-Vulcan you could see it twisting his insides.

One thing I continue to absolutely love about SNW is how it so PERFECTLY captures my childhood growing up with VHS copies of TOS episodes. These FEEL so much like those old tapes, old adventures while still very much being modern productions. It's bloody magical.
Agreed
Certainly has captured the spirit of TOS but in modern terms.
VHS. Such luxury..
I concur
Indeed.
It's hilarious that it completely changed their hair styles too. Uhura went from free flow to (what looks like) twisted butterfly locs instantaneously. 🤣
I love it!
Pike's Vulcan hair is an even greater feat of engineering than his human hair.
And we thought Pike's hair couldn't get any taller..... I think we should get a behind the scenes short of Anson getting his hair done and the Vulcan engineering THAT takes!!
Never been into blonde ladies much but, Jess Bush as Chapel is simply gorgeous.
Not to worry; she's a natural brunette who goes platinum for the series.
Human version or vulcan version ?
@@mariolafrance5806 Yes.
She's this teen generations Seven of Nine.
Why did all the characters start acting Spock-like when they were made Vulcan? That kind of control isn't genetic, it's discipline. They should have been deeply passionate.
Basically they would have transformed into Romulans, not Vulcans.
Its illogical that the change would also change their hair gel. They changed clothing moments later, why not do the hair style changes then.
It is only logical to rewatch this video endlessly as we wait in anticipation for the next season.
Damn, I was doing that without realising about it 😂😂😂😂
I just miss the show so much!
No, it's not, because this is actually really bad. Like, it makes me sad that it's part of Strange New Worlds.
Indeed
OMG Pikes vulcanized hair is even better than his regular hair!
In case anyone is wondering (and if no one has figured it out yet), the music used for the corridor scene is NOT some obscure Beastie Boys song. It’s by a group named “The Home of Happy”, and the track itself is titled “Reckless Youth” (seems oddly appropriate!).
Anyway, if you search for the name of the group and the song title here on TH-cam, you will find the official music video, such as it is (less than two minutes, no actual video, just audio). LLAP!
Pike's Peak has turned into Mt. Selaya by the looks of it.
😂😂😂😂
Everyone talking about Pike's hair but I can't help but think La'an looks GOOD as a Vulcan.
You betcha !
Absolutely!
She looks more like a Romulan to me
@@johnnycajon4858 ...What's that Archer line...something something about can only be so...something...
@@mrsocko316 She looks more romulan
“Number one, 4 & 1 1/2 Vulcans to beam down.” Spock’s reaction was hilarious, as long as you don’t take it literally.
LOL, they made Spock carry all the luggage on the return trip.
"4 and one half Vulcan to beam down." Oh I can hear Spock's blood pressure rising.
Spock: Barely detectable per my tricorder readings.
@@aqdrobert Spock, his face twitching as he calmly stated.
I look at Spok's face and the only thing that passes through my mind is "ALL SYNTH UNITS HAVE BEEN COMPROMISED"
Number of points:-
1. One hell of a serum it is also a hairdresser.
2. Turns them Vulcan but they haven’t had the years of training to control their emotions so wouldn’t they be more like Romulans?
3. Why would Spock not take the serum and change his human half to Vulcan and make it 5/5.
Stop using logic. That has no place in Kurtzman's Star Trek.
Would that be fun?
Logical. Live long and prosper.
It seems they treat their fan as brain dead goats. Star trek is completely magic freak show. No principal and laws. In s02 doctor was fighting like marine, kids teaching Spock.
Writing standards have lowered and audience standards have for some reason lowered accordingly
“Four and one half Vulcans to beam down”😂😂😂😂😂 OMG I was dying. “Nurse Chappell, what was that sub-vocalization”
Live from New York, It's SATURDAY NIGHT!!!
this is some Lower Decks level weirdness and i love it!
I'm so confused. I thought Vulcans had to undergo years of rigorous training to bring their emotions in check. Apparently they just need injections?
Nope. Which is why they're all acting like Vulcan children.
The episode seems to scream "Come on, this is just the silliest premise the writers' room could come up with, just roll with it!".
@@dschehutinefer5627 Indeed.
That would mean sticking to some sort of canon.
I imagine there might be some more story in the rest of the episode.
"In my time we knew not of Earth men. I am pleased to see we have differences. May we together become greater than the sum of both of us." -a replicant with the memories of Surak, founder of the Vulcan way of life, to Kirk in "The Savage Curtain"
It seems to me the Pike's character is going to... peak in this season. Perfectly coiffed, as all things should be.
Pike looks funny with the Johnny Bravo hair style.
So, Captain Pike's history was that he was a Vulcan once, INDEFINITELY
I love that Uhura pops back up after the change with entirely different hair, including style. Like... how? Just, how? XD
I love how Spock was beamed back as the pack mule, lol.
The way I SCREAMED about Pike's vulcan hair lmaoooooo
So Scotty is joining the team! Wee!!! :)
Is it just me or did they look like an awesome metal rock band?!? The 4 1/2 Vulcans
They need to add some Vulcan bells and Vulcan bass drums like during the Pon Farr ceremony...
I‘m sorry but Pike‘s hair = Pelia‘s words in this scene, “I had the same problem with LSD in the 1960s, and the 1990s and last July“. OMG that had me laughing more than I care to admit. I want a spin-off series of Lanthinites (sp?).
I think it has already been done. I believe it was called "Highlander." And maybe the immortal Flint was actually a Laathanite.
@@rickjohnston2667 When they re-remaster the TOS they should CGI in "The Concert" and all 7 "Mona Lisas" and then CGI in Spock rolling his eyes. I was still hoping Kovich was Flint, and the whole last season of DISCO was him and Pelia doing an art scam.
The hall way walk through reminded me of a line form the movie"They Live", where Rod Piper sad "I have come here chew bubble gum and kick ass. I am all out of bubble gum."
I was getting massive Kill Bill vibes from it.
I am here to slurp plomeek soup and swing my lirpa, and I’m all out of plomeek soup.
Not to be a party-pooper for a great scene, but they wouldn't be so logical be simply becoming biological Vulcans. On the contrary, they would become hyper-emotional. Vulcan emotional detachment is not genetic; it is acquired through decades of rigorous mental discipline and training.
apparently it's not that kind of show anymore. Seems to be more of a parody/comedy show now for small children I suspect.
You forget. It was in the script.
Parody show it definitely is
Man, Anson Mount really, really pulls off the imperious Vulcan field commander/patriarch vibe well
The look on Spock's face, priceless ha ha ha.
"I got a shot at the ladies now"
So the memes about Pike's hair have become canon 😂😂😂😂
Look at Pike's hair in Vulcan mode, he look a bad haircut from the 90s. Oh this is going to be good.
If only for a joke one looks like a Romulan with the pointier eyebrows.
@@barrybend7189 Yep
Do do do do-do-do do
Do do do do-do-do do
Pike, Pike, Baby
@@l00k4tstuff Bingo
Pike's hair looks like Vanilla Ice's hair
The look of the most monumental “Oh no.” In Spock’s face….😂😂😂😂
I was thinking a ‘more colorful metaphor’.
Just when you thought Pike's hair couldn't get any better. 😂
More pointy!
For a second, before Pike is about to change, I thought they were going to break into song again.
I thought episode Subspace Rhapsody was going to be stupid.. But I was definitely wrong LOL. I watched it 3 times so far 😀
This show is so much more like Buffy the Vampire slayer than any star trek. So I agree. It's cringe af
@@thefelonattorney Agreed. It's gotten even more stupid as it's gone along. Kurtzman Trek is straight up ass.
@@JamieLamon I just assumed someone wanted to make a Star Trek Broadway musical. They were told "No!" so this is how they got around that.
@@JamieLamon I personally skipped the episode, I'm not a big fan of musicals 😅
I swear they created that scenario just to see how high they could get Pike's hair.
2:12 Walking down the corridor like Vulcans, turning heads with our intergalactic swagger! 🖖😎
Did you get any "Kill Bill" vibes from it? (Reference "O-Ren Ishii and the Crazy 88 walking through the club/restaurant in Tokyo while everyone else kowtows to them")
@@Robert_Douglass I was just thinking that.
Pike spinning that weapon was awesome was like look at me and beware lol
@@roguelead72 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not to nitpick but I thought the reason vulcans were logical was because of all the training and meditation. How could that be conferred in a hypospray?
What nitpick? You're completely right. As to your hypospray question, the answer is lazy writing, that's completely indifferent to well established continuity.
You'd think they would become overly emotional.
I had the same thought. It's frustrating, but it can make a great story. Maybe there's a point where they can't handle their emotions and have to learn Kolinahr.
then dont
I was wondering that, but I'm going to assume they added some kind of emotional stabilizer to the serum. Sure it's a handwave-y shortcut, but Trek has always played pretty fast and loose with its own rules and continuity, lol.
I've been very happy with this show thus far. The musical episode was my favorite last season.
If that hair gets any higher, they're gonna need taller doors. Isn't that right, Captain Bravo?
Sassy! Studly! Oh _mama._
(Flips open communicator.)
Hello Starfleet command? I wanna report a handsome man in my bathroom.
I’m proud to be the 69th like on this comment😂
@@BeckyMesser Noice!
Pike: "Number One, four and one half Vulcans to beam down"
Spock: "Or you know, five people, that works too"
I'm glad we're finally getting season 3. I hope you release it soon
Pike's hightop fade almost 'Christopher “KID” Reid' status.
Kind n Play is a great reference there.
Pike wielding that lirpa looks like he's a whisker away from Pon Farr. Although this clip seemed to present the ironic/comical side of the transformation, the crew members really nail the menacing alien vibe. My question is whether these crew members transformed into Vulcans who haven't completed Kolinahr and don't have control of their hostile/aggressive emotions. If so, then put your phasers on stun...
*Heavy* stun!
They haven't transformed into Vulcans - they've transformed into Romulans.
"No 1, four and a half vulcans" lol that made me laugh hard
Spock already sees himself in nightmare being indefinitely reminded he is only half vulcan
