    The remarkable element of the story is that Spock, before he travels back in time to save himself, remembers the event of saving himself slightly differently than what he would actually do once he travelled back in time. And I don't just mean that he realized that his adult self was his "cousin" Selek. His pet I-Chaya dies, and young Spock learns a lesson about the necessity of acknowledging his emotions that is a novel element of his own history.

    It's almost as though the past itself becomes more detailed through our interaction with it.

    it's kind of nice to see a female officer wearing pants for the first time

    How can you tell it's her first time? Is she wearing them awkwardly or something?

    Vulcan bullies make no sense to me, especially ones that base their torment on xenophobic attitudes

    That's always bugged me too. Actually what's even more puzzling than the xenophobia is taunting someone for not being emotionless; it's like punching someone for not being a pacifist.
