Because it's usually right wingers using it as a derogatory term against the socially conscious. Maybe not in this case.

Same! I've always considered time travel to be a "plot cheat code" because it allows writers to do whatever they want. This works out ok sometimes but other times it just makes for bizarre stories that defy belief. This would definitely be the latter kind!

I enjoy ST largely because it's believable (in a broad strokes ignore the details kind of way) so far-fetched stories don't do it for me as much. Time travel is firmly in "never gonna happen" territory.

Same reason we got a whole season pulling the old TNG crew back together, I guess

I'm not clicking a link that uses that term

Oh is this why s02e03 was set in Toronto? As a Canadian I'm always surprised when I see shows set here so I figured there must be some reason.

Shut up Wesley!

Oh, not that Wesley...

I enjoyed the episode but agree with most of your points, especially the flashbacks. If the events had happened earlier in the episode they might have been understandable but they had just happened! Spock's little joke was pretty out of character as well.

I thought trans people were a good fit for the metaphor, given the body alterations that can be involved.

yeah I thought that as well

I really like this Spock, don't get me wrong, but I'm finding his increasing "humanness" a bit distracting. I mean, making a joke in court? That was a bit far-fetched.
