i get that karl urban is a beefcake but bones is not a fighter, ok? he's not violent, he's not getting into bar fights, he's not physically strong, he barely knows how to shoot a phaser, he's not working out at the gym, he's not punching people. it doesn't matter if bones is being played by deforest kelley or karl urban - he'd lose an arm wrestling match against an eight year old.

leonard mccoy is barely passable in a fight and fighting would be his last resort anyways. the man is a staunch pacifist. don't let his grumpy nature fool you into thinking otherwise.

some aos fics tend to write mccoy as a badass action hero-esque army doctor and that's just not him. leonard "just an old country doctor" mccoy is not john wicking it up in a crisis. he's gonna throw a wimpy punch that's gonna miss and then get his ass wiped. i'm sorry. it's just how he is and i love that about him. literally every other tos character throws down more than bones.

here’s a random monday night thought for you. i’ve been rewatching Star Trek: The Next Generation stuff (specifically First Contact today) and i just have one question.. did Data actually whore himself out to the Borg Queen just so she would keep on believing he was on her side?

In a similar vein of my previous post, I wonder if Jim felt a little resentful of Robert April/Enterprise/Starfleet getting to Tarsus too late, and that a part of all his efforts and his refusal of "no win" scenarios was to do better than starfleet. Perhaps a duality between anger and gratefulness at being saved, but having to see so many around him die and suffer.

Makes me wonder, in general, of Jim's possibly pathological guilt when he can't save someone. Why he looked depressed when turned admiral because while being supposedly in a position of power, he actually couldn't do anything. It's all paperwork and no work. Constantly having that urge to follow a disaster but not being allowed. The same reason Jim always seems to jump to his death, but succeeds and lives anyway. (And of course the added loss of his soulmate who ran away from their friendship didn't help)

And while I sort of kind of really dislike lots of the movies past tmp (as star trek canon, they're fun movies), I'm wondering if that's part of what drives Jim to his death later. He's getting old, and slowly being incapable of helping those around him. For a man who can't sit still, who needs to help people, it's a bit like losing himself. So dying in battle is far preferred for a man who could never completely work through his traumas.

I feel like I have said this before but Star Trek Into Darkness was my introduction to the world of Star Trek.

I was freshly sixteen, finishing up my sophomore year of high school and in a standard American chemistry class. my teacher was a super cool lady, a doctor in chem and a massive TOS nerd. She jokingly made our homework assignment to go see Star Trek Into Darkness when it came out in May of 2013.

At that time in my life I was going to the movies with my best friend all the time. I was like, hey let's go see this movie and she agreed because Chris Pine is hot and Benedict Cumberbatch is was one of our favorites back then.

I have never seen the 2009 movie. I have seen bits and pieces of the original series from when my mom watched reruns on TV but it never really spoke to me. I wasn't exactly interested in the Star Trek aspect of it, more so the hot guys and the knowledge that it would make my teacher very happy.

There wasn't a second of that movie I didn't love. I left such a fan of all of the characters, with Spock having a special place in my heart (that remains to this day).

I dunno why I started writing this. I feel like the alternate original movies get a lot of shit sometimes but I really think they did a good job considering what they had to work with.

Star Trek Into Darkness especially. To have a 16 year old girl with absolutely no knowledge of the world on the edge of her seat, watching each scene with total interest, I dunno. It takes a lot to make a movie that is able to stand on its own like that and I think that it deserves that recognition.

For a film that is almost 11 years old now too, it's really stood the test of time.

So i just watched Star Trek: The undiscovered country and in a way,this is my list favorite Star Trek film.

It's a wonderful movie no doubt about it. It's essentially a murder mistery/political thriller taking place in space and it's SO WELL DONE. Alas,it is also goodbye.

TOS despite it's problems (and it has a lot, season 3 I'm looking at you) is my favorite era of Star Trek. It's a fitting goodbye, I'm glad they got to end it with this beautiful piece of art but still...parting is such a sweet sorrow indeed.

Farewell for now. Live long and prosper.🖖

I have been and always shall be yours.

Fun thing I like to do if I make an oc specifically for the tos or the aos timeline is to imagine what their counterpart is like

I have an older oc who’s been established in their career for awhile and they were made specifically for tos? Gotta imagine what they’re like as a younger person just starting out at their career (and if any of the timeline changes affected them at all)

And vice versa

"You're not gonna tell me where we're going?"

Steve glanced over at him, an easy grin on his face, before turning to watch the road once more, "Of course not! I told you that it was a surprise."

Jonathan sighed, head leaning back against his seat. "I know, I just wanna know," the annoyance he tried to push into his tone was overridden by the smile on his own face. He sometimes hated how easy it was around Steve these days. How easy it was to let go and just live.

"And I'm not letting you bug it out of me. Trust me, I've withstood Dustin and Max teaming up on me for a location when I took the party to see that weird-ass space movie last fall. I can withstand you."

Steve lowered one hand off the wheel and Jonathan didn't hesitate to reach out and grab it, intertwining their fingers. He blinked at himself, a little surprised, but that didn't stop him from continuing to tease his boyfriend, "Weird-ass space movie? You're gonna have to be more specific. They watch a lot of weird-ass space movies."

"I dunno. They were barely in space and there were a lot of whales too," Steve sighed. "The things I do for those kids, I swear."

"Not really anymore," Jonathan commented, turning to look out the windshield himself. It was hard to believe that nearly all of them had their license (with the exception of Max on account of her eyesight and Dustin, although Jonathan wasn't positive about why on that one). They had far more independence and self-reliance, which was how the two of them had cycled around to finally taking a weekend out of town. But of course Steve... "Are you sure you can't give me a hint?"

"Jonathan, I swear..."
