1.0

Well, we have racism (of course a black woman must want to get close to the lion, right?), saneism (a character who's behaving a little eccentric is diagnosed just from description as mad, while he's not behaving any more irrational than most neurotypicals) and rape (forcing Spock to go through Pon Farr). Oh, and Insta Love.

And no, the being still doesn't seem mentally ill in the end. 

All the while the plot is way too slow, even though it started off okay.
