really weird to see Rebecca Romijn carry and Andorian over her shoulder

Illyrians are bred for excellence in many areas.
It wasn't filmed very well, but there wasn't anything weird about. Una isn't human and is stronger than one. Spock doing the same thing wouldn't be weird, either.
And it was an Aenar, not an Andorian.
As someone who actually has a B12 deficiency, I can assure that was most certainly not what was wrong with the characters in that episode.
Why? What so weird about it? Again, she's playing an alien. No different than Ethan Peck as Spock doing the same thing.
She's Illyrian. Who are acknowledged as being genetically augmented and thus possessing capabilities that normal Earth humans wouldn't have. I mean, this is also Trek.
This isn't even remotely new. Yogurt mixed with real fruit is a newer concept than "alien character can do things the usual humans can't."

I mean, your average military recruit does more impressive things than this during basic training.
Well, she was carrying a dummy I’m sure.
It was, and once you realize it the dummy becomes painfully obvious. Flat butt and all. 
The op hasn't seen any episodes after this strange inhuman event.
And that would matter how?

Spoilers.
Aenar are an Andorian ethnic group, not a distinct species. That's like saying someone's Asian, not human.And it was an Aenar, not an Andorian.
Spoilers for whom exactly? The OP has seen all two seasons.
But, again, how does any of that matter? The very episode we are talking about here does already contain the moment where Una reveals that she’s a genetically augmented Illyrian. Unless you want to say the OP somehow only watched that one scene where she carries the “Andorian” over her shoulder and nothing else.
Seems like an odd thing to be hung up on, in a show that is clearly a fantasy. Even though there are women who can carry men, in the real world.
I'm just glad she didn't, oh, what do you call it, give birth in that episode. I mean, guys, amirite? 
I can believe in: cross species breeding, faster than light travel, transporters, non-corporeal beings, a magic device that can translate most any language instantaneously (that it has never been exposed to before) and most everyone in the galaxy looking like some variation of human.
But a woman carrying a man... that is just too fucking far!

I mean, it wasn't a man. It was a stuffed dummy with a flat butt and loose, dangly limbs. WHO COULDN'T LIFT THAT??
