As much as I 100% agree with everyone who argues that we should have gotten more screentime for the women of TOS (Commanders Chapel and Rand) or for Saavik and David, I feel the character who got done dirtiest by the movies was Dr. Marcus.
She was such an interesting character, both in terms of her relation to Kirk and her goals with Project Genesis. She absolutely could have grown and been one of the best TOS era characters ever if given more development in future films, but no. We don't even see her in Search for Spock. The movie where her damn son dies. And she didn't even come back in Undiscovered Country?? The movie where David's death is a pivotal piece of Kirk's character arc??
Apparently she was supposed to appear in Search for Spock, but they snipped her out of the movie seemingly for budget cuts, and because she was "extraneous" which feels like such a shitty thing to do to the character, in a movie with a plotline set on Genesis (which she created) that features the death of her son. Her actress, Bibi Besch apparently was very disappointed that we never got any sort of closure with Marcus, and she's damn right! Apparently she was supposed to be in Generations but was cut out because... idk we can't have nice things?? (Also not the movie's fault, but the fact she passed on only two years after being cut from Generations feels so unfair to Besch. Rest in peace.) Also nobody bring up Into Darkness. I haven't seen it, but I already know they did her real dirty in that one.

Star Trek TOS: what if the captain was a slut who got in fights all the time and did whatever the hell he wanted and it all sort of worked out anyway
TNG: what if the captain drank tea and gave speeches instead
DS9: what if the captain was a single father and religious figure trying to hold onto his morals in the face of an existential threat
Voyager: what if the captain was trying to get her unruly scout troop back home and also she had a GUN
Enterprise: what if the captain was a massive dweeb
Kelvin timeline: what if the first guy was actually a horny frat boy
Disco: what if the captain was a cryptofascist? no wait, what if he was just sooooooo handsome, like so mind-meltingly handsome that is just feels unfair? wait, what if he was a deer? no actually what if she did whatever the hell she wanted, but also felt emotions about it?
Picard: what if the captain was a secondary character driven into solitude by his PTSD, and then we suddenly replaced him with some dipshit from Chicago
Lower Decks: what if the captain was your well-meaning perfectionist mother
Prodigy: what if the captain was a purple teenager
SNW: what if the captain was your dad

I'm currently reading The Autobiography of James T. Kirk and it has pictures!
This looks like a family photo tbh.
This is so cute. I love Edith.
A letter to David that Kirk never sent. He mentions that kid in A Piece of The Action. Sorry it's kind of blurry.
Kirk's travel pass for his trip to Tarsus IV.
A picture of Carol Marcus and David when he was two and the camping trip in The Final Frontier.

say what you will about AOS Trek, but the shift in Spock's attitude towards Kirk compared to TOS is the funniest thing
I mean, TOS Spock delivered a whole ass monologue about how it's scientifically proven that Kirk is incapable of making an intentionally malicious choice
and AOS Spock decided to go with "Here's a list of 619 reasons why your decisions are shit, do you want this alphabetised or colour-coded?"
top tier comedy, I tell you
#star trek aos#star trek#aos kirk#aos spock#spock#james t kirk#things I find funny#this is mostly about into darkness#classic enemies to lovers#let's not forget spock being crazy jealous of carol markus

Saw the version with the og 5 going around, so I thought I'd spread the deluxe (2x the chaos, double the potential for unhinged admirals) edition.
