Comment on I love how SNW responded to this sexism by surrounding Pike with women
Ghost33313@kbin.social 1 year agoShe's a great character but I only liked Chapel until she did Spock wrong in the musical episode. He pretty much (spoiler) ### left his fiancee for her (end spoiler) then she basically spaces him a few episodes later.

It’s awkward writing a relationship you know can’t work out. Like, do you let it go on, letting the audience get attracted even though you (and they) know you have to pull the plug? Or finish it quick and dirty? Not a laudable position to be in, making that decision.

True, but I think the context of her being a big influence on his decision to call off the marriage was a big mistake. Making it a musical number was salt in the wound. If they downplayed the former and did the latter in a different episode I don't think it would be so bad.
