#side not if anyone’s reading all this it’s not an indictment on Ethan’s acting either I thought he and everyone else did well

Posting this now because I know how often my full recaps make it out of my drafts, but shipping aside and no hate on Christine (in fact I really want character development for her!), and this is 100% not about Spirk either, this was hands down the most disappointing episode of snw so far by a lot. Not just because of this needlessly white and hetero relationship but because of the incredibly indelicate way Spock’s major character conflict was handled? I was ok with it being played for laughs in the beginning with him coming off as a moody teenager but why are the writers conflating bigotry he’s faced since his childhood with his love life? Also I’m really not trying to bring up Discovery because I’m well aware they did the going into the future plotline to never have to bring it up again, but Spock’s sister was killed in a terrorist bombing and we’re bringing up moms being mean at the playground? Absolutely think Amanda suffered through a lot but what the fuck kind of writing is this? I’m glad Spock is seeing things from her perspective, I’m happy they got where they are even though the last time we saw her she was feeling bad about borderline emotionally neglecting her son…., but the way this was handled was genuinely so bad.
