I was disappointed they didn't spend more time on the scene at the end where Spock reveals to T'pring's mother that he was actually human while performing their precious ceremony. Really wanted to see him yank that Vulcan rose bush that woman had up her ass!

As much as I enjoy seeing the asshole Vulcans be taken down a peg, I really want to see more of her husband. He was laid back and expressive, so I thought there was going to be a twist with him. I hope he comes back later. He may be one of those Vulcans that gets the whole, "logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end," thing.

Yes, agreed. He seemed like a genuinely decent individual from the brief time he had on screen. But you could tell that even he was terrified of his wife's behavior. Poor guy! Imagine being married to someone like his wife... 😱

Ooh! Maybe they could do an episode where comes back to get help from Pike, Spock, and T'pring because he's looking to divorce that demon of a Vulcan wife?! Lol.

They characterized T’Pring’s parents really well, I thought. You could see where her compassion and acceptance came from, as well as her adherence to tradition.

Bold of you to assume that her domineering personality isn't exactly what he likes about her.

We definitely didn't get enough of his reaction to the human reveal.
