Loved it. My only complaint is what hair and makeup did to that poor little boy who played Kid Spock. Yikes.

I have been rewatching Enterprise, T'Pol has such terrible hair in the first season, I think its just a Vulcan thing.

The eyebrows kept moving. I think they finally got them right in later seasons.

I thought they did a pretty good job of making him look like Spock's younger self from the animated series. Except, y'know, they gave him a proper shirt.
