Couldn’t agree more. Just absolutely riveting scene with little else going on besides his angry ranting and her micro-expressions. So many layers to both of their performances.
I’m with nearly all your other observations too. Even the Kyle Jay Den thing manages to feel natural and awkward in a wholesome realistic way for a character who has had all of ten seconds of screen time.
This is the only part I’m not sure I fully agree with you on. I think Caleb’s reaction to having his childhood trauma brought up against is will during a time he is supposed to be feeling safe being vulnerable is completely understandable. “She can’t help it” isn’t an excuse in my book. BUT they both handled it maturely later with cool heads and that’s what matters. He is definitely going to think she’s a badass (maybe because that scene was maybe one of the most badass moments we’ve ever seen on Star Trek).
Oh yah, Caleb’s reaction to Terima’s accidental psychic poke is completely understandable. I think I said that but maybe I didn’t word it right.
What I was referring to is how they handled it and how quickly Caleb realized that it was an accident and Terima wouldn’t intentionally hurt him. I don’t think Episode 1 Caleb would have come to the realization that quickly.
Oh I see what you mean, yes absolutely with you. That said, if she truly has a “trauma causing thing she can’t control” …he’s going to need to establish some clear boundaries…
