    I enjoyed the episode but agree with most of your points, especially the flashbacks. If the events had happened earlier in the episode they might have been understandable but they had just happened! Spock’s little joke was pretty out of character as well.

      In the case of Spock I am hopeful we will see him transform into the man he is in TOS. My fear is that they will make the reason for this to be some sort of traumatic event that happens to him while I would prefer a more slow transformation.

      Nevertheless, I still remain optimistic about this series’ future.

      The flashbacks were a weird an unnecessary choice and I do wonder why no one in the editing process called bullshit.

      But Spock’s joke was not only amusing, but perfect in the context of the episode. It had already been established that he is not fond of the prosecutor, so clearly he was not only sticking up for Chin-Riley, he was sticking it to said prosecutor.

      Vulcans don’t lie… but they occasionally misdirect.
