And yet everything they make still looks like it was made pre-Surak days, even if they have long since left that behind. Hell, from the day they met us they've had more changes to their society than Earth. Then they had a political reform due to Romulan interference and a hapless Starfleet captain that revived the original philosophies of their founding father, then they went into being the diplomatic grease in the Federation wheels, and. Like.they went from constantly killing each other to passive-aggressive philosophers in a few centuries. Like, I'm both joking and not - from what we've seen throughout all of Trek, Vulcans are extremely conservative when it comes to their actual aesthetics, but can change wildly in a single generation (well, "wildly" being a single raised eyebrow, but whoo boy, that's wild for Vulcans). I wouldn't say the Vulcan ships are unchanged since the 22nd century - I'd say the hulls are the same. I think the real question is, will we be seeing Captain Ma'ah again? It'll be good any way they use the character.
Actually, that pairing could carry a lot of stories even if they were only fellow lower deckers and friends. That pairing could carry a lot of stories. T'Lyn is far too capable and interesting to miss out on, but she's not exactly the kind of "bad" Mariner's used to dating. If Jurgen Hubert's theory about T'Lyn becoming a romantic interest for Mariner comes true, then that'll be hilarious. I'd forgotten how damned big those ships were. I have to give them bonus marks for managing to make an unchanged-since- Enterprise Vulcan ship's arrival into something dramatic and heroic. I took the trouble to watch through the end credits just in case there was a last-second joke (there wasn't) beyond the obvious. The nuances of the cast keep surprising me, but Kathryn Lyn made even the quiet of a Vulcan science vessel we'd never seen before engaging.
The writers of this show keep showing how much they understand, and how much they care about, Trek.
