One Dress a Day Challenge

March: Pink Redux

Star Trek (the original series, s2 e2, "Who Mourns for Adonais?") / Leslie Parrish as Carolyn Palamas

Apollo takes a fancy to this Enterprise crewmember and magics her into a shiny pink vaguely-ancient-Greek-inspired gown. The material looks suspiciously synthetic, but at least it has enough weight to drape nicely. The extra-shiny border highlights how the over-the-shoulder piece falls into attractive folds. You can see in the side view picture that she seems to have similar sandals to his, but in silver.

Honestly I resent the accusation that Carolyn Palamas can't have a 40 foot gold plated cock in her mouth and do her job at the same time??????? she is a scientist

Who Mourns for Adonais, Star Trek: The Original Series: Season 2, Episode 2

a scientist and an icon

[lostyesterday]

I admit I’ve lost some of my initial interest in Star Trek TOS since I’ve watched other Trek shows and enjoyed them more (although I absolutely still do have positive feelings about a fair number of TOS episodes), but something I still like to do in my head is ship female characters from TOS who never met in canon. T’Pring and the Romulan Commander from The Enterprise Incident had a passionate love affair. Janice Rand knew Number One and had a huge crush on her. Uhura and Carolyn Palamas from Who Mourns for Adonais are friendly exes. Saavik and Gillian from The Voyage Home are dating.

8 for the ask thing

8. Is there anything I wish people would write more about in fics? (A dynamic, an exploration of an arc, just a character that doesn’t get much screentime, etc)

oh my god, there are so many little character choices that the actors/writers/directors of tos have made that I am obsessed with, and I can't imagine how they don't have pages and pages of fic. these include:

- in spectre of the gun, the way the sheriff talked with kirk (putting his hands on his shoulders to keep him there, kirk looking up at him with that desperate look, the tone they took with each other) and the way kirk reacted to him made me wonder about his relationship with his father. shatner's novel collision course has a bunch of stuff about how kirk doesn't get along with his ex-starfleet father. I would be really interested to see a deep dive into that and how it shapes kirk as a leader. you can't just drop that scene of kirk getting angrier and louder than he's ever been with anyone in the show and expect me not to think about teenage kirk!

- kirk and shakespeare! you can't tell me he and spock and uhura aren't bouncing shakespeare quotes back and forth on the bridge to pass the time on boring shifts. I firmly believe he has said "do you bite your thumb at me, sir?" to an alien diplomat as a joke, only to find out it's either horrifically offensive or lewd. before beaming down for shore leave he would tell spock "parting is such sweet sorrow" just so he could see spock sigh at him. he has definitely quoted kent in act i scene ii of king lear in a fight. (I will elaborate on any of this in a fic if anyone would actually be interested.)

- uhura. just anything about her. we don't know how she grew up, why she joined starfleet, what's waiting for her on earth, or why her only real connections seem to be with her crewmates when she's so friendly and open with everyone. I know it's a side effect of being a black female character written by white men in the 60s but please, I want the kind of backstory and motivations for her that people make up for other characters like chekov and mccoy! it's not like we don't have material. she's got a fear of dying a long and painful death (see that one episode with the creepy kids in season 3), wonderful musical and theatrical talents, an insane amount of charisma (what's under that?), and she admits that she's afraid on the bridge and finds security in knowing that kirk has the situation in hand. we also have an underdeveloped last minute relationship with scotty, which actually makes sense if you think about it? she doesn't need a defender or a musketeer like sulu tried to be, she just wants to know she's going to make it out okay, and scotty is the one who makes sure the ship can take them home safely. plus, he's less vain and more reliable than kirk. it came out of left field for me, too, but I honestly see it now that I think about it. so yeah, I want more development for uhura as a character, and for her relationship with scotty.

- any of the women, really, but I'm a little obsessed with the woman in who mourns for adonais, lt. carolyn palamas (played by leslie parrish, who was according to wikipedia an activist against the vietnam war who created her own tv station to give the average american a more in depth look at their news! sounds very cool). her arc is literally the same one that the male main characters repeatedly get (seduced by alien, must choose between career/following orders and being lost in this new romance) and she's just so cool. imo this episode was more feminist than people give it credit for, not just for giving her that choice but also showing her as someone who is good at her job to the point of being absolute instrumental to the plan. she wavers, just like kirk is allowed to do, and she chooses duty in the end, and it doesnt make her two-faced. she's allowed to be human. I love her.

Okay but this Carolyn scientist lady is literally glowing so I too would immediately fall in love with her like Apollo
