Dragon Con 2023: Theater and Performing Arts Lovers Schedule

Dragon Con 2023: Theater and Performing Arts Lovers Schedule Atlanta, GA – September 1 through September 5, 2022 As you may have noticed, I am a huge supporter of the Dragon Con Theater and Musical Lovers fan community. They were established as an unofficial gathering of Dragon Con attendees who love theater, musicals, and the performing arts.

I just wanted to talk about how Unification was a great follow up to the other Rodenberry archive short film Regeneration which came out a year and a half ago. In Regeneration, we saw Spock visiting Kirk's grave on Veridian III and picking up Kirk's insignia from atop the grave where Picard left it after burying him.

Unification implies that the events of the photo novel Strange New Worlds are canon in that Gary Mitchell became a powerful non-corporeal being after his death on Delta Vega. Mitchell initially wants revenge on Kirk but Kirk eventually gets him to realize that he can set aside human desires and flaws. Mitchell sets out to travel the universe. And in Unification, Mitchell finds out about Kirk's death, sees Spock mourning at Kirk's grave, and Kirk's remains in storage at Daystrom Station.

So Mitchell brings Kirk back, has his insignia returned to him, and gives Kirk and Spock one last sunset to share together. And that's beautiful.

There's been so much focus on just the Spirk moment that I didn't want the rest of it to be overlooked and under appreciated.

Gary Mitchell's Eyeballs Aka more Star Trek History

Because I'm me, I needed to know how they did this in the 60s.

Turns out it's really interesting.

To begin with, for those of you youngins who don't know about old contact lenses, they were literally glass back in the day. That's why in some old movies/tv shows, when someone loses a lens and they're panicking looking for it you hear a crunch when they inevitably step on it.

They also had to soak in these crazy ass things:

That's to give you some context about old contact lenses.

In the show, they took two of these lenses and sandwiched foil with a pinhole in the center between them. And then just made the actors wear them.

Apparently they were VERY hot under the lights (I'd imagine so) and it explains why the actor for Gary is tilting his damn chin all the time, I bet the director was constantly on him about it to get the best reflection.

PS, hot damn, that man was fine.

when i break up with my boyfriends to become a god but then i find out they died alone in separate universes:

“i felt for him too, captain” gary mitchell, the best third of all time

Star Trek: The Original Series 1x03 - Where No Man Has Gone Before

[trek-tracks]

Do you ever think about how Kirk had a "best friend" on the ship before Bones in Gary Mitchell, a man who:

a) deviously manipulates him into heartbreak for Mitchell's benefit,

b) shames him for not being "fun" enough when he's in a position of power,

c) openly insults intelligent and powerful women,

d) treats everyone cruelly as soon as he gets power and tries to seize everything for himself,

e) finds it fascinating that he can stop a person's heart for fun, and

f) tries to murder Kirk instead of admitting that he's a danger to the universe,

and then chooses to replace him with Bones, a man who:

a) tries to save Kirk from heartbreak at every opportunity,

b) gets him to smile and relax by being genuinely interested in how he's doing and telling him that he's great and respected just as he is,

c) openly toasts intelligent and powerful women,

d) treats everyone kindly as soon as he gets power and tries to use it to help as many people as he can,

e) cries about how people suffered when medical treatments were less advanced, and

f) says, "Jim, I can't destroy life, even if it's to save my own. I can't."

**I included characters significant to one episode who I see referenced in fandom/fanfiction fairly regularly, yet who never appeared in other pieces of Star Trek media (not including novelizations of those episodes or beta canon)

Been thinking about the opening sequence in Unification

That's Gary Mitchell, just vibing, in what appears to be the corona of a star.

Apparently, the dropping of a rock on a god is ineffectual.

It begs the question why he's here.

Mitchell met Kirk while attending the young Lieutenant's class at the academy, and they would eventually end up serving together through various commands, Mitchell even sacrificing his own safety to protect Kirk in various instances.

Mitchell once even set up Lt. Kirk with a pretty blonde lab technician in order to make Kirk's class easier to pass.

Are we talking a literal deus ex machina here?

Then, there's this:

Remember this guy? We first saw him in Discovery, as Dr. Kovick is explaining the Time Wars to Burnham.

A literal god, with the help of a dimension hopping time traveller, being a wingman for his friend Jim Kirk one last time.

[etherealspacejelly]

can we acknowledge that it was gary mitchell, the guy who set kirk up with that girl that he almost married, who brought kirk and spock together in the end

just gonna. put that out there.

star trek ask game:

20 + 21 :))

thank you for the ask, i'm having so much fun! i did already answer these but let's go again :) why not?

a fanon thing i love:

i'm a sucker for gary mitchell being jim's toxic ex. why YES, that WAS toxic ex behavior, we all get an a+ in fandom

like... hello........... 👀

a fanon thing i don't love:

i already said how hard this one is in my previous reply, but if i have to think of something, it bugs me when people aren't nuanced about sarek and amanda. they're WRITTEN as flawed characters so it's frustrating in either direction- erasing/excusing the bad things they've done, or making them out to be irredeemable monsters. the truth is somewhere in the middle but i've been seeing a lot of the latter lately (probably by coincidence tbh, but still)
