    Sure. My problem with the writing is they write him like he doesn’t understand emotions having never had the them. When it should be the opposite.

    He should be more like an alcoholic who doesn’t drink anymore. Still understands what it’s like to be drunk or hungover.

        He wasn’t though. That’s a bit of a cultural myth like “Beam me up Scotty.” Watch the show and you will see he clearly has emotion he just doesn’t let them control him.

        His joy when he learns he didn’t kill Kirk. His enjoying verbal sparring with Mccoy. The spores removing his control. The look on his face when something strange and new is on the view screen.
