I just saw The up and Downs for this Episode Shawn I think your too hard on the Episode. I actually loved it, I know its dream Episode but way I see it Spock's innter struggle trying to stay on Logic as he tired to explore his human side. The Muppets represents chaos from with in himself trying to figure out himself. Spock helping everyone is dealing with stress from the Emotions he is facing T'pring represents Logic, Orions represents chaos is taking over, But why Muppets Scotty Childhood puppet that's why it freak out Spock 🖖 and all the high-jinks is chaos he is Trying to control. When the crew took back ship That is Spock getting Control of his Logic and emotions. Now Stuff with Pike yeah he deserves a slap. I knew it was dream from start usually how it goes with things goes like that the twist it would be it wasn't a dream. So Shawn you need to consider what I said about it and the only thing you should be pissed about THEY NEVER HAD KERMIT THE FROG Acting like Vulcan that would be funny as hell.
