Agree, that was well thought out. Also I loved how Toshi got a jarring feeling when the ship went into warp and it gave her the heebie jeebies. It totally made sense that some people would be aware of that, especially somebody whose “different” brain workings enabled her to parse meaning out of unfamiliar languages.
I thought they should have also made the Vulcan mind meld mysterious and weird at first - it’s been so long I don’t remember how they handled that, but in my own ideas for a retro series before Enterprise came out I thought the Vulcans would sort of keep the mind meld private and personal. The first time it would be used in an episode - reluctantly, in an emergency - it would really spook the crew. They would wonder, “Can they read our minds? Are they controlling us?” It would create a lot of tension and the Vulcans would have to rebuild trust.
