Nearly two decades later, I think it just fully hit me why Iroh told Zuko's crew about how he got his scar. It wasn't just to say, "Have some sympathy for him, he had a hard childhood." It was because the crew were all upset (rightfully so) that Zuko had said, "The safety of the crew doesn't matter." and Iroh was trying to point out that, yes, what Zuko had said was wrong, but that's not what he really thinks, at least, that's not what he used to think. There was a time when Zuko cared about the safety of soldiers he had never even met, so much so that he spoke out of turn, which is what led to the domino effect that caused all of them to be sitting on that ship together. And this is brought full-circle when Zuko climbs the ladder to help the helmsman at the end of the episode. And that's when the crew realizes that, temperament aside, Zuko actually has been and is still willing to put everything on the line for the safety of others.

fundamentally i am a petty and mean-spirited person who is also a chill, laidback guy. basically everything is cool with me except for the fact i am irritable and hold grudges. so i'm kind of a weird standoffish dude but yeah i think i'm pretty approachable and friendly
I think most people know this, but just in case someone isn’t aware, just because Vulcan is a desert planet doesn’t mean there’s no large bodies of water. Sure, they’re nowhere near as big as say… the pacific ocean, and I’m not sure I’d classify any of them as oceans, but Vulcan’s got seas, at least.
And an interesting thought (from someone who doesn’t know much about these things) but would the seas actually have waves and tides?
Since Vulcan does not have a moon.
From what I can find on Google it seems like without a moon, tides would be about 1/3 of what they are on earth (lower low tide and wouldn’t swell as much at high tide). This is assuming Vulcan is roughly-earth sized. And I would guess that a 1.4x gravity suggests it’s close, but ever so slightly bigger.
Also, without a moon in the night sky their nights are going to be dark as hell. Yes, they’ve got the other two stars of their trinary star system to help out. But they’re nowhere near as bright as the moon.
To verify this, for folks who haven’t seen Discovery, there’s a scene where Sarek is at a beach:
Also according to Discovery, it rains on Vulcan and there are red trees. Whether or not this is a natural result of the climate or something artificially terraformed is unclear.
But yeah. there seems to be various biomes! I think this is something work exploring. Also, the cityscape of Shi’Kahr is gorgeous.
Chiming in to say that while Vulcan has no moon, it has a sister planet which does have a moon (That’s what we’re looking at in the sky in Shi’Kahr) and here it is at night!
Some people thought that this “moon” in the sky was a continuity error but that’s T’Khut and her moon, baby!
Oooh, now this is fascinating!

[ID: A tweet thread vy Sean Kelly @/StorySlug that reads:
Something I think about a lot:
In Star Trek (2009) Spock Prime, who has accidentally traveled back in time 130 years into a parallel reality, hiding out in an ice cavern, accidentally runs into Jim Kirk and his first thought is, “How did you find me?”
Mind you, Spock hasn’t seen Jim in a hundred years.
In Spock’s reality, Jim died a hundred years ago during the christening of the Enterprise-B, and then again several decades later in events his acquaintance Jean-Luc Picard certainly told him about.
So in Spock’s life, Kirk is double-dead. And he knows he’s in a parallel universe, so reality isn’t progressing the way it did in his memories. The galaxy is branching out, becoming ever-more-different than the one he knew.
Spock is a man who values logic above all else, a man of science and intellect, and all of that combined and his first thought is still, in essence:
“I’m in my darkest hour, so of course Jim Kirk is here to save me. Or at least, to be with me:’
No entertaining "coincidence.”
The really interesting thing is, we have a second data point on this.
In “Relics,” the episode of TNG where they find Scotty trapped in a transporter buffer, Riker mentions he’s from the Enterprise.
Scotty responds, “I bet Jim Kirk got the ol’ girl out of mothballs to find me”
Scotty stood on the edge of a massive hole where the Enterprise-B’s hull used to be, staring into the void that claimed Jim Kirk. He was there the day he died. He knows that the Enterprise-A is a museum piece, that there have been other ships since then.
Now, in reality its because “Relics” aired long before “Star Trek: Generations,” and the writers didn’t yet know the fate of James T Kirk, or that Scotty would be there (most of his lines were originally intended for Spock, Chekov’s lines for McCoy).
But I like to think that, deep down, every crew member of the original Enterprise believed this, deep down. No matter where they went, what dangers they faced, how long they lived, in their darkest moments, they believed, “I bet Captain Kirk is going to show up to save me.”
Imagine how they held on, how they pushed themselves to be better, smarter, braver, because they believed that all they had to do to see another day was to hold out long enough for James T Kirk to find them.
That if they just kept moving, the Enterprise would warp in.
I don’t think this is unique to the original crew, either.
Worf once said to O'Brien that when he was aboard the Enterprise, he felt like they were the heroes of the old stories he learned as a boy, that there was no trial they could not face together.
A couple of years later, Worf is captaining the Defiant, getting ready to ram the thing into a Borg cube, when his helmsman says “Another ship is warping in… it’s the Enterprise!”
And the look on Worf’s face says it all: “Of course it is.”
To serve on the Enterprise - any Enterprise - is to believe in the Enterprise. To believe in the Captain. To believe in your friends.
Hang in there. Do your best. We’re coming to save you. End ID]
