Two couples that pair a regular on the bridge with a sickbay worker! Who will triumph?

Posting the final faceoff of my ship bracket on Wednesday. See you there!

For all intents and purposes, this is a Star Trek blog. If we want to get more specific, it's a K/S blog with a bunch of polls sprinkled in. However, I do watch, read, and yes, ship other things... And I'm curious if we share some of those interests. So that's why I'm asking:

PLEASE tell me in the tags if we have shared interests 🙏

(I am also a Jayvik and Caitvi shipper but didn't manage to fit that in...)

I’m partial to his green wrap-around since it appears in so many of my favorite episodes and is unique to Jim!

Finale of my ship bracket releases on Monday!

[discoonthegrass]

Are our 3 main characters better off together than our only sapphic couple? (Remember Spirk shippers - McSpirk isn’t just “Spirk Lite”, It’s a completely different relationship that includes McCoy as an equal participant!)

I know we love to talk about the exceptionally romantic moments of TOS Season 1, like “Dig it in there, Mr. Spock” from Shore Leave, “you almost make me believe in luck” from A Taste of Armageddon, or “at his side, like you’ve always been there” from City on the Edge of Forever, but can we also show some love for:

“I speak from pure logic… human beings have characteristics, it is impossible for Captain Kirk to act out of panic or malice. It is not his nature.” from Court Martial (Later, Spock even compares his faith in Jim to gravity itself!)

“I’m surprised to see you alive, but pleased.” from Space Seed (Spock in S1 barely admitted to having any emotion, so to admit he felt pleasure is crazy)

“In all my years of service, this is the most painful.” said by Jim during The Menagerie when discussing Spock’s apparent betrayal (keep in mind that this man has already had to order the death of one of his best friends, and has also felt personally responsible for several crew members deaths. Yet somehow Spock betraying him hurts more than all of this.)

Spock grabbing Jim’s hand in Tomorrow is Yesterday while asking concernedly if he finds it painful (I’m sure your famous massages will make it better Spock…)

The point is, all the way back in S1 the seeds of the K/S relationship were being sowed….only for Amok Time to propel the ship into the mainstream once and for all.

It’s a battle of the McCoy ships! Both are extremely popular, but is the good doctor better off with his bestie or his frenemy?

No overlaps this time, but ouch: does our fav triumvirate triumph against the yellow-shirt cuties? (Btw Spirk shippers, you might be tempted to click McSpirk simply because of the Spirk in it, but don’t forget that McCoy is an equal part of the relationship! It’s not just Spirk you’re voting for!)

This time last year, I watched The Man Trap for the first time and got pulled into the wondrous world of Star Trek. LLAP 🖖🏻

McCoy appears in both ships this round, but seeing as though I’ve never heard about one of these, I think it’s pretty clear who will win…

Our favorite bickering duo and the top-seeded ship faces off against the only (semi)canon relationship between two members of the TOS bridge crew! Who will triumph?

Happy New Year! Wishing you lots of Trek fun in 2025!

Personally I’m a sucker for Old Married Spirk, and really movie-era Spirk in general. TWoK to TVH is top tier.

Round 2 of my ship bracket starts in the new year!

[discoonthegrass]

We conclude Round 1 with a faceoff between two of the major Uhura ships! Remember, this is TOS canon, not AOS, so Spuhura isn’t in a relationship! Is Uhura better with her alternate-universe love or the only other major female character in TOS?

Our only unequivocally canon ship goes against a ship I’ve literally never heard anyone shipping before! But hey, it made the top 16 on AO3, so that’s gotta mean something?

Finally, no overlaps between the ships! Do you wanna date Bones more than Chekov and Sulu wanna date each other?

The long-awaited polycule takes the stage, but perhaps our favorite captain should date you (yes, you!) instead?

Yet again, we have a character appearing in both rounds. This time, one of Chapel’s major ships gets to move forward! Remember, this isn’t asking about the SNW iterations of the ship, but of TOS! Is Chapel better off with her longtime crush, or with her direct supervisor?
