Computed-dear - Spock Thoughts

james tiberius kirk and his crew that definitely gets drunk and plays a game called do your best dramatic captain kirk impersonation

thought about spock for more than 30 seconds im gonna start tearing up… the way you can’t really give him a generalized characterization label cos he’s so freaking interesting… like before i started watching tos i had that sort of “vaguely cold logical” image of him but while watching i saw how he makes others laugh, intentionally or not, he makes others worry about him, love him, be annoyed with him, want to tease him, etc etc. he essentially brings about a sense of humanity within the characters around him all the while he feels deep shame and discontentment for his own. and just his deep care and consideration for whatever or whoever he encounters while exploring on new planets acts as a constant reminder of their primary job of discovery, study, and exploration. and hes so crazy smart it’s doopid… anyways i love spock so effing bad it makes ME look doopid

I know this is just based on one word „insanity“, but the way Kirk is so intrigued when Spock warns him of it - I just picture Sturgeon sitting there writing like „oh yes, Spock and Kirk, watch out for that strange insanity“

Later episodes like Obsession took inspiration from Moby Dick, so it exists as an influence on the show- maybe Sturgeon took from it earlier.

[And side note: the first chapters of Moby Dick have two guys sharing a bed BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE BED LEFT]

Maybe this is reaching but anyone else think about THAT scene in Moby Dick, when Spock talks about his Pon Farr insanity in Amok Time

You know Moby Dick, the book famous for its queer subtext

Oh and I just found out Theodore Sturgeon was a sailor LOL pretty sure he read that book

Love that Spock is a passenger princess. Completely out of the question that he drive himself in A Piece of the Action. His job is holding two huge guns and bitching about Kirk's driving
