being half done with s1 of SNW reminded me how the writers didn’t really disappoint me in s1 (there might be episodes I enjoyed less than others, but that’s just my taste and sometimes even how I felt that day, overall the characterization - which is the most important for me - was consistent and the characters all fun), how they more or less even validate my own readings of TOS (especially with like T’Pring, but also other small things)... and how ever since Discovery, I was never ever disappointed with their interpretation of Spock and his interpersonal relationships

which is now unfortunately leading me to have more trust in s2 too

and I really don’t want to be disappointed

#like i mean my only true issue is them not honouring kirk and spock's relationship #and by that i mean the non existence of it in this time period lol #i might be in the minority but it's really important to me that their strong connection was made because they were a captain and xo assigned #to the same ship #i don't want any stupid fate or predestination #which is what i really liked about the finale of snw... so i do have hopes #but i'm also fully prepared for them ruining it and me hating it #but also just reading their first meeting in the captain's oath that was literally just a meeting makes me want to see just a random meeting #ala the finale of snw even in the prime timeline #because that's what fits the most #i did see some old-ish interview with the cast where the interviewer was trying to pry what about kirk-spock out of them #and it also made me kind of hopeful because they were kind of evasive and peck was like changing the topic to pike #because like yeah at this time spock doesn't care about kirk. pike is his captain and 'very important to him'#kirk has his own friends - even in the pilot he was closer to gary mitchell than spock #so like i want to trust the writers that they understand this like they understand other things... but...#it's hard lol #yes it's a tv show it doesn't matter but it matters lol #i actually didn't want to talk about this but... wanted to get it out of my head #even though everyone else probably expects the complete opposite lol #leni's nonsense #ETA: on the other hand i guess since they're making spock/chapel more important they might also make this more important #but ugh #it will just ruin the development #and i will hate that #especially if they don't give kirk and mccoy's relationship its deserved due #like in aos #think whatever you want about mccoy and spock but mccoy and kirk - they were extra close and not acknowledging that would be a failure #anyway i'm shutting up but they better honour mccoy and kirk's friendship #it was a constant #even in tos films where they ignored the existence of the triumvirate
