Spock- "The Return of the Archons"

Some photos of Leonard Nimoy at the Pear Blossom Parade (Medford, OR; April, 1967.) This was one of the only times Nimoy went out in public, in costume.

Can we talk about Spock in The City on the Edge of Forever?? How when he sees Kirk catch Edith Keeler on the stairs and kiss her he goes to Kirk straight after and is like „well if you hadn‘t caught her she‘d be dead already“ straight up savage. I know it‘s about him being logical and knowing she has to die in order for the world to be saved but.. Spock sees Kirk kiss a woman and is like I need that bitch dead right now

I don't even know what to say

Jim is like Spock is doing intense mind stuff let me stare intensely to be part of it and then act like I don't love him or whatever

Just made myself cry. Bye.

Rewatched Into Darkness yesterday and all the little mentions of TOS stuff are just really useless, like the Tribble, the Mudd shuttle incident, Bones talking about a Gorn C-Section??- did they expect TOS fans to sit there and go aahh great everything from the five year mission has weirdly already happened here how fun (also I just imagine them going where no man has gone before and then being like „actually the script says we did all that, let‘s go home“. Also love the passive aggressive Khan explanation WELL ACTUALLY BECAUSE OF THE DESTRUCTION OF VULCAN like okay stop )

If they make AOS4 I just want the screen writers to have spent a few days browsing tumblr and give the people what they really want: Spock with eyeshadow and Kirk ass-slamming into someone for no reason

And also Spock adopting a cat at some point during the mission becaus it is logical to care for stranded kittycats in space

I love how in the AOS Star Trek movies they went for this supposed clean cut, apple store mainstream look and feel of Star Trek but with Into Darkness accidentally remade the dumbest and weirdest (in a bad way) parts of TOS.

After watching Shore Leave and The Changeling I can‘t stop thinking Kirk dying in Into Darkness just feels weirdly parallel to Scotty being killed by Nomad and brought back within a minute and Bones dying in Shore Leave and like no one cares?? even Kirk just runs off to wrestle his old class rival

They really tried to go with serious heartwrenching drama and within the last 30 minutes of the movie accidentally remade Shore Leave. They even added the sexism

I‘m gonna tell people we all missread the tone of the movie, it‘s a comedy

Reverend Mother serving Spock vibes

No we have to beam him up between your legs because of SCIENCE

Couldn't concentrate on the plot of The Deadly Years after Spock said he was more sensitive to the cold now. Hello?? Everyone stop what you're doing and wrap him in blankets right now!!

Ramblings about Spuhura in AOS (this got a bit long)

I thought I didn't really mind Spuhura in AOS, but I think it really messes up the characterisation of Spock. They just didn't have a plan where to take that relationship. I feel like the extent to their thinking was well Uhura is hot and people will be surprised to see repressed Spock in a relationship, but they didn't want to flesh out her character. And they (rightfully) made Kirk and Spock have the most important relationship in the movies, so Uhura is supposed to be important to Spock, but we rarely feel the weight of that.

So in the end Spock kind of looks like a bad boyfriend, because his most important emotional scenes, the moments he loses his control are all with Kirk. Which is great because it reinforces Spirk, but Uhura just stays an afterthought and they could have done so much more with her character. I saw this interview where Zoe Saldana seemed glad that Uhura and Spock had broken up in Beyond because he had been her teacher and maybe she had outgrown that relationship. I mean even the actor thought more about this than the filmmakers!

And how does it reflect on Spock that he chose a relationship with his student? I know me too hadn't happened in 2009, but in TOS in the 60s they managed to make Kirk a compelling character by making him not sleep with his subordinates. And showing this impossibility to find personal happiness at his job as a struggle for him. Which makes him likeable.

I think they didn't understand what the relationship between Kirk and Spock really symbolizes, how it outweighs every other connection. They just wanted to build on something that already existed and took it for granted.

And yes, this is an alternate universe, but if you reboot Kirk and Spock, it needs to be done right. And isn't the beauty of it all that Spock learns about emotions from Kirk, this open minded, kind hearted man, that does not judge him. And for that you need to have Spock start in a place of relative isolation. There are alternate universes and then there is misunderstanding characters to a point you are losing their essence.

Scotty: They got onto the transporter platform and just vanished!!

Spock: Ok, yes but are you dumb?

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

@miametropolis 's vid, go give a follow!

The administrators going down the hallway checking doors during a lockdown drill

i uhhhh,,,, gave him high heels >:3

now whose fucjing idea was this.

I caved and started watching Star Trek

and it's really good?? enjoying every moment of it

and of course a crossover with the other cardboard cutout man

somebody PLEASE write a fic in which this happens (or I might and I don't have any writing experience so do we really want that?)

this picture always sends me the fuck into orbit because how in the convoluted hell would shooting jfk stop khan? love that this implies khan wanting to save jfk from assassination in the first place lmao. and why did spock specifically have to shoot the president???

“to accept there was only a single shooter on that day is not a logical avenue of thought Captain. As you are well aware I am required to assume my position at the grassy knoll if khan is to be defeated. On this occasion you must not get in my way jim.”

- spock in an alternate wrath of khan apparently
