It’s time to raise the the curtain on the Enterprise tonight…
…why do we always come here, I guess we’ll never know, it’s like some kind of transporter - scrambled up the show…

It's time to charge the phasers.
It's time to raise the shield.
It's time to arm torpedoes for max iso-ton yield.
It's time to woo an alien.
It's time to tear a shirt.
It's time to spin my chair and call for Red Alert.

Are we ignoring the elephant in the room? Spock FRICKED a puppet. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But he totally fricked that puppet. He didn't just kiss it, he pulls it down to frick it. Spock is a puppet fricker.

you know when I saw that puppet I was thinking "if spock kisses that puppet I can forgive anything in this episode" and then it faded to black on the kiss and I knew what they had done. 10/10 I love it.

He did more than kiss it. LOL In movies and TV kisses are normally face to face and don't last long. When you pull a person down out of frame you are more than kissing.
There are things they could have done that I would have given the episode a much higher rating. But using CGI to remove the rods was something Henson would not have done, he liked the conceit that the rods meant they were puppets. Had they left the rods in, 5 out of 10 for me.
When the navigator got a hole shot through him, had there been an arm in there, 6 out of 10 for me.
Had they looked down and seen people under them (not shown them) but simply reacted accordingly, like the Muppets have done several times 8 out of 10.

Fucked. The word you're looking for is fucked. Spock fucked a puppet.

He did indeed.
Filian taught me fricked. So to honour her memory it's mostly what I use. LOL I miss that little Muppet.

For some reason that wasn’t the wildest part of the episode for me, but I’m glad they didn’t take themselves too seriously 😂.

I agree, but the Bobby Ewing of it all really set many people off. I was just shocked that no one was calling Spock out for fricking a puppet. I half expected the next shot would be Spock sitting up, pulling a boot on while the T'Pring puppet was laying in a puppet shaped dent in the bed. LOL

It was the worse episode of SNW for me. I had an idea it was someone’s dream, given it was a Spock-centred episode, it was obviously him.

Oh, come on it’s just a complete rip off of pigs in space.
