At Last, ‘Strange New Worlds’ Provides Justice for This Classic Star Trek Character

Gia Sandhu as T'Pring and Ethan Peck as Spock in a scene from 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.' T'Pring has brown skin, and long dark hair that's styled half up in a bun. She is a Vulcan with pointed ears and is wearing an elaborately adorned white jacket with gold trim over a pleated gold dress. Spock is white with short dark hair, also pointed ears, wearing a dark green long-sleeved top and black pants. They are seated on a bed, and Spock is reaching out holding T'Pring's hand.

I'd been having trouble reconciling TOS T'Pring with SNW T'Pring until "Charades" provided nuance, making it easier to bridge the gap between the two.

‘Not Guilty’ Verdict for Food Not Bombs Shows That Americans Still Have a Shred of Humanity

A homeless man sits hopelessly leaning against a wall as there is no one to help him with work and food in his hand holding a sign for help.
