do you think the bridge crew did each other's makeup sometimes...

jim is 100% that girl who goes like, i can do your eyeliner but only if i do it like i'm doing *my* eyeliner because he relies on muscle memory (ends up pressed against spock's back doing his winged eyeliner for him lmaoo. not that spock's complaining. good for him! he gets to be felt up by his boyfriend while watching his other boyfriend being sunshiney with uhura)

off topic but i have such a soft spot for uhura/len tbh 🤭 i have this Vision ok maybe i'll talk abt it eventually

Aired September 29, 1966

Stardate 1704.2

Rating - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I love this episode. I appreciate how many crew members we see and how much characterization they get. So much of it is silly, which juxtaposes well with the high stakes and the serious moments.

We get sassy Uhura and her great line of "Sorry, neither" in response to Sulu calling her a fair maiden.

The first mention of Spock's mixed heritage and the conflict he has towards it.

Dutiful Kirk willing to take any risk for the ship but resenting the sacrifices he has to make for duty.

And a completely unnecessary shirt rip.

Plus a casual huge scientific breakthrough at the end. What more could I ask for?

Was the time travel discovery meant to explain all the planets the Enterprise visits that are essentially Earth with an alternative history? As far as I know, the ability to travel to any time is never addressed again.

Summary

The USS Enterprise is observing a planet's death. Spock and another crewman go planetside when the group of scientists they're supposed to pick up don't respond. All of them are dead in confounding ways. The crew member doesn't follow proper quarantine protocol and brings a virus on board that lowers the inhibitions of the infected. Meanwhile, the Enterprise is in a difficult orbit that gets harder the more crew are distracted by the antics of the infected. Will the ship get destroyed with the planet?

Well for the time - 😬🔘🔘🔘🔘

Almost completely fine. Janice is used as an object of desire to illustrate Kirk's loyalty to the ship to the point of sacrificing any other want and how a part of him is unhappy with that. There's nothing really problematic about that. My girl just deserves better.

Kirk x Rand - 🥴

He talks about his attraction to her, acknowledges it's inappropriate, but he does look at her longingly toward the end and says "No beach to walk on." Ultimately, it seems to be more about him grieving his decision to prioritize his career and the ship over romance than specifically any romantic opportunity with Janice.

Spock x Chapel - 🥲

Spirk - 🧐

I like that Chapel acknowledges and accepts all of Spock's heritage. She pays him a lot of attention. Her love does seem unrequited though.

Spock and Kirk do have a very emotional scene together. I don't think there's any subtext. Kirk is talking about Janice in this conversation. But you get some really good lines and expressions.

Kirk:

Spock

And then you have this check in that's nice

There is romantic subtext later in the show, but in this episode, it seems like a very passionate vulnerable conversation between friends (I feel very straight saying that). But I think it lays a foundation for more later.

I'll also note Kirk's distress causes Spock to stop thinking about his own inner turmoil and focus on the problem at hand. It's very clear they care a lot about each other.

Spones - 🤷🏼

I don't usually consider their verbal sparring particularly romantic, but I feel I would be remiss not to note it. Particularly, Spock's smile after his jab is pretty cute.

he's so unhelpful and it's on purpose

saw a tweet on them playing dnd and had to doodle something for it...

I think after this experience either Kirk or Scotty would take over dming lol.

Last doodle is from weeks ago but I figured I could drop it here as well, though I didn't know how to draw the characters too well yet
