Snw season 2 I hope Spock has a horrible time. Disastrous girl problems. His brother shows up. Gets squished by a boulder for the first time. Has emotions. Gets kidnapped. Made to wear a bad and itchy outfit. I need it

The more I watch SNW, the more I get the feeling that Spock found out Sam was dead and tried to keep cool but was internally like "Goodbye you irritating PoS" and I love that

Strange New Worlds season 2 premieres this week! So I made this bingo card with all the stupid awesome stuff that I think will happen/want to happen!

I have watched exactly one trailer and read two articles about the Lower Decks crossover, so if any plot points have already leaked I got them right by accident.

Empty card unter the cut, because I actually think it looks really nice, if you want to make your own please tag me so I can see!

Does anyone else feel like what Jim and Sam don't say is potentially more revealing than what they do?

They didn't talk about their mother at all in the argument about making their father proud. And Jim obliquely mentions his mother in reference to chasing their father from posting to posting when speaking to La'an. But centrally, conversations about their childhood focus on their father. In TOS, I don't believe they mention either parent at all.

Is Winona Kirk dead already?

Why is Spock So Shippable?

Okay, so hear me out.

I've been shipping Kirk/Spock since I had just turned 12. I never really wrote any Kirk/Spock, but believe me, I ship them and would die on the hill of "hmm, why yes these characters are in a relationship with more emotional depth, commitment, trust, and vulnerability than they've ever had with any woman or will ever have with any other living being."

Except! Kirk isn't in the picture just yet.

Sure, I like the idea of him with Chapel. I mean, they do have chemistry. Chapel has chemistry with Spock, and Spock would have chemistry with a humanoid-shaped rock.

But what I really like more than anything else is Spock/A Figure of Authority. Why? Because he is probably the bossiest power!bottom this universe has ever seen.

That, along with the way Pike looks at Spock - have led me to an entirely new pairing. It's a rare-pair, with 149 fics on AO3 (ahem, and counting, I hope?) but it makes so much sense to me.

Spock understands Pike, in a way no one else can at this moment in time. He knows what Pike sacrificed to get Discovery into the future, knows the weight of that burden because he carries a similar one. They both have a shared grief, even more profound in Captain Pike, about the uncertain future of Discovery, and it followed them onto the Enterprise.

Pike is haunted by the future he saw, and Spock understands this in a way other officers that weren't there wouldn't.

This isn't a promise but I am seriously considering writing a fic about it despite the (checks list; checks it twice) hundred thousand other things I have to do... Anyway. This has been your friendly neighborhood 'Hey Look at That Shiny Thing I Saw; It's Only Shiny From This One Angle; Come A Little Bit Closer and You'll See It For Sure' Pike/Spock rant. Over and out.

Strange new worlds - S2E02 "Ad Astra Per Aspera"

Spock and La'an - *the look* again

@tinderbox210 @salrevientad @street-of-mercy @universalimagines @iron-moon the moment we've been waiting for in this episode

'Lost in Translation' has to be the ep I've enjoyed the most this season tbh

I love the implication that Kirk got sucker punched by Uhura and just went 'Yes, I will respect and worship her for the rest of our natural lives' cause that's just a valid reaction. It's relatable, uhura could punch me and I would thank her.

I love that the ep demonstrates her empathy, love for others and the connections she feels that makes her so good at her job. I love that it showcased her grief, her dealing with losing others and the questions that arises in a person. It was right, only she could've understood it was a message, only she could've related to the aliens. CRG absolutely kills it this episode, I'm loving her version of Uhura. Unlike some others, I can genuinely see her becoming her tos character because the blocks are there and they're done well in this ep.

Also, Spock and Kirk finally met, uhura facilitated that and they all clearly get along and it made sense and I can only applaude the ep that does that
