Being back on the Enterprise for short Rex was
really surreal
and coming back to the Enterprise in the way
that we did was really fun too because it's
pox very first day on the Enterprise and that
felt
like such an honor to
play that moment in his life.
Spock's come straight from Starfleet Academy.
He's just beamed aboard
and greeting him.
There
is number one played by Rebecca Romijn.
Number one is his Superior and she's there to
greet him as he gets beamed in you've been
on this ship exactly 37 seconds and sending you
have enough to single question.
Not what I expect from a science officer
and then she's challenging him right away you have
until I reached that turbolift go.
What is your name, sir?
Just call me number one
and it's literally his first moments
on the Enterprise
with
number one
and we get stuck in a turbolift together.
This episode really sets
them up
and a great way because Spock will learn so
much from her and I think her from him
and it's sort of like a
master and Apprentice sort of way.
This may take some time.
Let's not waste it
keep up the questions.
It's a beautiful glimpse into
this.
Early relationship
and I think what happens on the turbolift
is a real meeting of the minds and
the audience gets to discover how a like number
one and
and Spock actually are
I took a look at the boson sampling of
code got five
in my opinion.
It
means
they're both very inquisitive.
They both have to eat
vast knowledge.
My favorite part of filming
short treks was
the intimacy of it.
It's totally
Lee self-contained there's not a Serial
overarching story.
It was like shooting a one act play
and it felt.
Really fun
and and satisfying
these moments aren't tied to anything else so you
can really be a moment to moment
in the present with the character right in front
of you.
You know, this is a guy who is
always felt like an outsider
that is finally
on a ship with people
who have probably themselves felt like Outsiders,
you know Starfleet is
what's wonderful about it is that it's a place
for people who feel
strange and different to go and feel welcome and
to feel
celebrated
the new boot.
Yes,
and
to use their uniqueness to the advantage of the
entire team of Starfleet.
Do Vulcans
have Rafi loss pain.
They do Captain,
but they tend to keep it to themselves.
So yeah, just like it gets me so excited
thinking about Spock's first day because
I got to invent something and portray something that's
never been seen of him.
And
again, it was just a huge honor.
