No we have to beam him up between your legs because of SCIENCE
When Kirk says „Gender is a universal constant“ I just want time travelling post fal-tor-pan Spock to appear and yell „The hell it isn't!“
They really flew thousands of lightyears to gender that cloud
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
I fully understand why Star Trek invented modern fandom and fanfiction because they always end these completely insane episodes so abruptly you're left there wondering wtf you've just experienced. And then imagine there's no internet and no way to see that episode again for MONTHS!!
Like after Return to Tomorrow I need at least twenty more minutes to see the characters react to that batshit crazy plot they came up with.
whenever i accidentally type tod instead of tos, all i can think of is this
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
sometimes...reddit is ok...
