Logline
A shuttle accident leads to Spock’s Vulcan DNA being removed by aliens, making him fully human and completely unprepared to face T’Pring’s family during an important ceremonial dinner.
Written by Kathryn Lyn & Henry Alonso Myers

It’s funny how both Pike’s and Uhura’s first word with a totally unknown species is “Hi!”
You’re Starfleet! Come on!
OK… they will have learned this lesson by the 24th century. 😂
Also, why treat the aliens like idiots? Why say: “You made him easier to talk to” instead of “He is now a different species.” Additionally, this seemed to just have served as a plot point to make Chapel admit her feelings openly, so I wasn’t too excited about the “talk to a coloured cloud in a waiting room” scenes.
These minor quibbles aside it felt like an average TNG episode. And for me that means it is a successful episode.
23rd actually, for SNW!
I meant TNG. In the time period of TNG, it is the 24th century and they have learned the first contact procedure.
