Time and time again when revisiting TOS star trek takes the least interesting concepts and beats them to death with hammers. The gorn. Khan. Like shut UP. You wanna expand on shit? You know whats COOL? Gary Mitchell. Gary SEVEN. WANT ANOTHER GARY? Youre not getting any more. Youre spoiled rotten with Garys. The TALOSIANS are cool. The METRONS are cool. ANYTHING WITH ANDORIANS OR TELLARITES. And Tarsus IV is such a CRAZY gap to leave - it would be so instrumental in building Kirks character!! He survived a genocidal dictator!! Barely mentioned!!! Its insane!!!

But if we wanna get real. Something in his backstory that is even more traumatic, even more fundamental to his nature and function…..

Thats right.

That cartoonish irish guy Finnegan from his academy days whose impish bullying apparently scarred Kirk so badly that it was still on his mind in his mid 30s.

This guy put a bucket of water on top of a propped open door and it stayed with our humble protagonist for decades. SNW. Explore this.

I just love how the difference between these images SO encapsulates the difference in vibe between SNW and TOS.

I’m genuinely sorry, glistening-tits-buff-Spock-with-manly-sleek-interior-design-choices-and-scantily-clad-bethrothed-in-background-who-you-rather-explicitly-raw-and-cheat-on, you could only attain the level of unadulterated cunt that is TOS Spock and his weird campy artifact-filled bedroom in your DREAMS.

in episode four kirk equates the enterprise to his lover and says "ill never lose you. never." and then in tsfs he blows up the enterprise to save spock. just another normal thing that happens in star trek

bones isn’t even that grumpy he just isn’t a bullshitter . like yeah giving your brains to unknown alien entities that can KILL you IS insane . he ISN’T an engineer . maybe we SHOULDN’T risk the entire crew just so spirk can play gay chicken . with as many malfunctions as the transporter has why WOULDN’T he bitch about using it ? no one else on the enterprise is going to tell the truth but bones will

Someone: What is your favorite TV show?

Me: Star Trek!

Someone: Are you gay?

I love now Trekkies will go on about Spock's gay arc but won't acknowledge the fact Kirk would drop to his knees immediately for that man. Kirk is just as down bad, for good reason too.

Took this picture while I was reading “I am not Spock” just because I thought it was so hilarious how Leonard Nimoy summarised second season Spock happenings

Tbh it’s just generally a fun read, especially considering how he got a lot of backlash because people thought the title was him trying to distance himself from the character, but he really doesn’t distance himself from Spock much at all

Like idk they are just so endearing

honestly if teleporters ever got invented during my lifetime i would be the most annoying analog boomer about it. my grandkids would be like ugh, grandma, why don’t you just take a teleporter trip to come visit us, we all do it all the time and it’s obviously safe and i would be like absolutely not. it kills you and reconstitutes a copy with your exact memories. you are consciously my grandchildren and i do not hold it against you but i know in my heart that you are nothing but copies of copies of copies borne out of irresponsible technology use. i am not touching that devil’s elevator as long as i live. i will take an airplane and you will wait for the several hours it takes for me to come visit you

Garak was late to lunch that day because he was building a bomb to destroy his shop. He was eating Delavian chocolates while he made it. He saw an assassin and knew for whom the bell tolled, but he still ate his chocolates, and he still went to lunch, just a little late. Because he was making a bomb to blow himself up with.
