I finished R.U.R. and now I kind of want to watch The Requiem for Methuselah to see if there’s anything in Rayna that can be traced to R.U.R. She is, after all, named after Capek = Rayna Kapec.

I mean the whole android who discovered love is already there (but it’s not like it’s uncommon, even though idk how common it was 50+ years ago).

The thing is, though, that I feel like I, Mudd would be a better episode to reference Capek/R.U.R., but I guess it would turn a bit dark if that was the case. But instead of Norman we could have Karl lol

#but i really dislike the episode and i don't want to watch it hahahaha #even if i changed my mind and actually could enjoy kirk just randomly falling in love while his crew was dying #the last minute would ruin it anyway because i will never ever like spock erasing kirk's memories #it's the worst #the fact that i've seen many people romanticizing it doesn't help either (good thing i also saw people hating it makes me feel better)#romanticizing it and villainizing mccoy - what a joy #but yeah i kind of want to watch it but i know i would just feel the dread of the ending the whole time. sighs #leni's nonsense #for me season 3 is just pick your own episodes and ignore the rest #before you @ me i know what they went for in the finale scene in the episode #there's the whole 'if only i could forget' 'i wish he could forget her' 'forget' but i still don't like it lol #because it's a terrible breach of trust #and manipulation with memory and feelings #they could only get away with it because there's always a reset
