I love the canon implications in "Bread and Circuses" that McCoy can't fight for shit. Spock is over beside him absolutely trying his hardest not to kill the gladiator he's fighting as McCoy has to be told to defend himself lmao.
Kirk knows his too, seeing as he asked if Spock could help McCoy when he was done with his own opponent.
McCoy is the grumpiest doctor around and can't fight for shit and I just adore that character detail so much. He can argue with the best of them but give him a sword and he's mostly at a loss.
look spirk will always be my otp but la'an and kirk give such barbie ken energy im here for it. He is mega himbo from the previews and im finally warming up to this new kirk actor. Y'all can have the romance of the week in an alternate timeline, i'll allow it, im here for the long game with k/s. Also, the ship name ka'an is unmatched.
genuinely I love when they show off how crafty Kirk is. being a starship captain truly was his first and best destiny, it's where he thrives and does his best work
Himbos are great they’ll say stuff like “I love you 25/7! :D” it’s like aww honey you’re so cute you can’t count i’m gonna dick you down SO HARD later :) :) :)
Kirk really accepted a Vulcan challenge under the pretenses of "well I broke Starfleet regs to get Spock here" and because apparently today was the day for him to fuck around and find out. Also he didn't wanna chicken out in front of the coolest woman in all of Vulcan which I heavily respect.
Still, Bones has the most common sense in the entire Triumvirate I swear to god. He tried to reason with Jim but apparently when the husband is in danger one must always help him, even if it means finding out after fucking around.
Sidenote: Kirk's face as he holds a Lirpa knowing full well he knows jackshit about how to use it properly is priceless.
