Now we need a scene in SNW where Ortegas decides to play a joke on Spock by calling them marsh melons and giving everyone else (in picturing Chapel, Uhura, M’Benga, and Sam Kirk) a “shut up and make him believe it” look.
I mean… it’d work. There’s a lot of loving references to future situations in DSC Season 2 and SNW. Also a lot of tiny references and in-jokes. It really would fit incredibly well. That’s also way more heartfelt than my buddies initial headcanon which was Boimler accidentally saying ‘marshmelons’ while nerding out in front of Spock.
If Boimler said it, Spock would probably go and ask one of his friends to have him try one of those “marsh melons” and would probably be corrected. It just seems like a very in-character thing for Ortegas to do!

Exactly! We’ve already got Ortegas set up to be a prankster. I love your idea and I really hope it happens.
