“James T Kirk. How did you find me?”

[computed-dear]

You know how the first interracial kiss was supposed to be Spock and Uhura but Shatner was like no way, I am the center of attention, I’ll do it? Maybe he heard SNW was gonna make Spirk canon and said I’ll do it first, watch me

"there are always possibilities," spock said. and if genesis is indeed life from death, i must return to this place again.

UNIFICATION

[pavel-chekov-appreciator]

My interpretation of Unification is that when Kirk died, because he and Spock are literally one soul/Katra in two bodies, he can’t pass on without his other half.

So he’s being sent to fetch the missing piece of himself-but he doesn’t know right away that the missing piece is Spock. Just that there’s something missing he has to find first. That’s why we get that scene with the three different versions of himself. He doesn’t know quite what he’s looking for yet, so he’s first looking inward.

And yes, obviously it’s TOS Kirk and Movie Kirk because those are the Iconic Looks for the character, but also, within the story itself? I think he’s specifically seeing the two times in his life he lost Spock-right at the end of their first five year mission when Spock resigned, and then after Spock died in TWOK. Those are the two times in his life he had felt like a piece of himself went missing, and when he realizes that, Kirk immediately understands what he’s meant to do.

His missing piece is Spock.

Technically speaking, by Vulcan standards, that handhold was making out with tongue and whatever. It was a truly. gloriously, vulgar display that any Vulcan would have been appalled to see in a public space.

like maybe unification didn't make spirk canon in that we didn't see them make out with tongue or whatever but what it did make canon and what makes it so incredibly important to me is that kirk and spock's ending is no longer so goddamn tragic.

before, jim died in his sixties and spock spent the next 100+ years missing him before dying alone. now, even with all the tragedy and heartbreak and the lifetime spent apart, they were together in the end. they were together and happy and everything was beautiful!!
