Realizing that Amok Time, from T'Pring's perspective, is basically the equivalent of a Vulcan Hallmark Movie, where a holiday (Pon Farr) makes our hero realize she wants hometown boy Stonn and a simple (Vulcan) life instead of big-city (space) boyfriend Spock, and it all comes to a head in an embarrassing misunderstanding in front of her family, is certainly making me feel some kind of way

Spock and T'Pring episodes are fun because the two of them are trying so hard to make the relationship work while the rest of us are sitting at home going "Yep, I can totally see how this is canonically doomed to end with homoerotic violence."

Confessions #50
""Amok Time" is one of my favorite Star Trek episodes. Not just because of the Spirk moments, but I also like how Spock praises T'Pring on her logic. Maybe it doesn't mean much since they're Vulcans, but there is still the persistent stereotype even today of "Women are emotional, men are logical" so to have a show episode played in the sixties where the female character is praised by a post-hormonal man for being rational and practical instead of humble and nurturing is pretty huge for its time."

Btw Vulcan's ears can go in different directions and move around a bunch to listen to different sounds the same way cats do. If you even care.
