Dig it in there Mr. Spock

has snw spock gave up on women yet

I am unwell.

He may be slightly taller. But instead of Kirk he has a lot of allergies. Many of them develop as a result of extreme malnutrition and prolonged exposure to harmful substances.

He's not trusting authorities. TOS Kirk learned it with time. And probably through his father.

He is more angry at Pike for even telling him he should have let nature done it's way, than at the fact he is losing command and his ship.

The whole time we see him do literally everything, for saving everyone of his crew and even people outside of his command, because doing nothing, doesn't even comes into his mind.

But the biggest hint for me is this moment.

When he told Spock, where he does come from, you don't betray the one who saved your life. He could have said in Iowa or whatever. No. The way he said it feels more like bitter betrayal, because he knew, what it could mean for you, if you get betrayed. It meant your end. And that's trauma speaking.

I feel like while she’s the kind of person to have maybe one or two necklaces and bracelets that go with almost any outfit, she has tons of pairs of earrings that she’s collected over the years, both from Earth and various alien cultures, to the point where for her birthday one year Scotty and Chapel collaborated to build her a special jewelry box for all of them, with tons of hooks and little pockets that fits perfectly on her vanity.

Her favorites whilst on the Enterprise tend to be the brighter, almost neon ones that manage to work really well against the darker reds and golds of her uniforms.

She has a few pieces that she’s extremely careful with though, a bracelet another crew member made out of recycled materials, a necklace she was gifted during a diplomacy mission, that she keeps displayed in a shadow box when she’s not wearing them. Her favorite is one Janice brought back from a market on a planet they stopped to rest on, a sky blue and bright pink piece that looks as though it was made out of spun sugar and lace.

She’s not the biggest fan of sugary-sweet foods, but she has a weakness for any and all things citrus, including lemons and grapefruits. Christine swears she mixes in an entire lemon whenever she makes tea, while Nyota’s always ready to point out how she may as well brew hers with milk instead of water with how much she pours into her own cups.

This also means that she’s totally the type of person who can stick a whole ledge of lemon in their mouth and not even flinch, and she loves the look of horror that crosses over Chekov whenever she does it.

While she may not be the best card player on the Enterprise, her poker face is right up there with Sulu and Christine, the big difference being that as a nurse she’s much more used to having to evaluate her patients solely on their facial and body language while Uhura is the king of recognizing the little hints and tricks in a person’s voice.

There is much more to Vulcan cuisine than plomeek soup- or as we call in Vulcan, shur t’plomik.

Vulcan cuisine is dominated by the hardy vegetables and fruits that grow in the desert climate, and, in keeping with Surakian precepts, is entirely vegan. But do not let this make you think it is plain and boring!

The Vulcan body is prepared to conserve as much moisture as possible in the desert weather, and as such, Vulcans secrete much less saliva than humans, which impacts the sense of taste. To compensate for this, most Vulcan dishes are actually really spicy and hot by human standards!

Also of note is that Vulcans become intoxicated when consuming sucrose, not alcohol like humans. Alcohol has no effect on Vulcans, but many fruit juices are very popular due to their intoxicating qualities on the Vulcan physique.

Here’s a list of some other popular Vulcan foods and drinks that aren’t shur t’plomik:

MAIN DISHES

Balkra: a casserole made of a squash-like fruit. It tastes like yellow squash, but it has the texture of mashed potatoes.

Barkaya marak: a vegetable soup tasting like cream of spinach and served warm. It’s made from a peanut-like legume native to Vulcan. (The one in the picture below was made by KCGeeks).

Fori: a type of vegetable, served often in a wide variety of dishes.

Khara: a hardy desert bush with moisture-laden core; the soft edible pulp of its stalks tastes slightly salty.

Klitanta: also spelled Kleetanta. A popular dish, normally served with forati sauce (see below).

Pok tar: a Vulcan dish made of different components. As shown on ENT, it looks like this:

Pre tarmeeli: a hot and spicy Vulcan vegetable entrée, much like a vegetable curry.
