#chris: ah so he's important and we can't show favouritism reading you loud and clear

[justreckin]

Been listening to Subspace Rhapsody on repeat, which lead met to thinking about Q&A, about Una giving advice to Jim and Spock that was somehow both completely opposite and yet exactly the same.

Her advice to Spock was all about how Starfleet is great but it's not perfect, so you're not totally safe to just be yourself, I'm sorry. But there are places and people that you can be fully yourself with it's just a matter of finding them.

Meanwhile Kirk is human. He's not in danger from anti-human prejudice so he doesn't need to worry about his own safety, but by telling him to connect with his crew he'll be made aware of it.

And that's before I get into the fact that Una 100% decided to reveal to a kid that she'd just met maybe an hour ago that she isn't human all so that she could give him a safe place. Like holy shit! Talk about connecting to your crew.

I also just love that she sings to both of them to get her point across. She's so cute.
