I'm calling the 4th category Best Design and Set Elements. It's really a combination of best writing meets best settings and props. It's sort of the Golden Globe of the awards. You know the winner here is definitely in line for one of the top three Best Episode awards! And while it's a little hard to define, it's really not that difficult either. I'll use as my example that seminal quote from U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart in the case Jacobellis v. Ohio dealing with the definition of pornography. "I know it when I see it." And the same is true here.
The winner is "Spock Amok" written by Henry Alonso Myers and Robin Wasserman. It first aired on June 2, 2022.
Humor plays an important role in this episode, but so does empathy. In fact, empathy is actually another character throughout the entire hour. Multiple sub-plots are woven together filled with hi-jinx and wonder. Scenes on the Vulcan home world, images of the Rongovian sailing space ship, competitions from "Enterprise Bingo," and inside jokes aplenty conspire to create something entirely cohesive and beautiful.
