Right?! Is the new Starfleet Academy show at least due sooner than that???
'Academy' hasn't even started filming, so likely not.
Pike went to Johnny Bravo's barber off screen.
Do you think the humans acting all "logical" is psychosomatic? They're less aware of the cultural history that lead to Vulcans suppressing their emotions and acting logical, so they think that logic is more of a racial trait, and thus act logical.
There is a bit of a precedent of logic being genetically encoded with Star Trek Prodigy when
acted more logical upon

activating his Vulcan genes
In this case, I'm wondering if, since Spock is the origin of the serum, the crew are somehow reflecting his self-doubts.
Spock's insecurities being the cause for whatever is happening here is my hope as well. It's a funny moment, but it falls apart under even the slightest scrutiny, so I'm hoping Trelene did it or whatever.
That's not a bad idea either.
Last season’s Charades also supports the genetically encoded notion. Which goes against everything we know about Vulcans, but makes for fun comedic episodes, so they’re probably going to just keep doing it. Psychosomatic is as good an explanation as any.
I think "Prodigy" did something similar in season one, when Dal's various genetic traits were asserting themselves.
Turns out Voyager also established an area of the Vulcan brain that's responsible for suppressing emotions:
EMH: There's a definite neurochemical imbalance in the mesiofrontal cortex.
JANEWAY: Which means what?
EMH: That's where the Vulcan psycho-suppression systems are located. This may be the result of an incompatibility with the Betazoid telepathic neural centre, I'm not sure.

Whew, I needed that after the section 31 trailer. Looking forward to this!
Four and one-half Vulcans to beam down
pan to Spock
I can’t wait!!
This show seems to only get wilder with every season! I'm here for it though. Now we just need seasons every year, and preferably more episodes too.
I've subscribed to P+ on six different devices doing my part trying to reach the goal of a new episode every twelve hours.
Really gunning for Voyager's crack crown i see
Ugh, pass. This show is now in permanent hijinx mode.
Sure, but it's the spice not the protein of a meal. The SNW producers seem to have it the other way round.
