It's called Engineering. Not Miracles R' Us.

What episode of Star Trek is this

[a-most-beloved-fool]

i never stop thinking about the scene in the Wrath of Khan where Spock was in the warp core, and Bones and Scotty had to physically hold Kirk back because they knew that if they let him go, he'd open the door and flood the whole ship with radiation just to get to Spock. just to be able to hold him while he died.

For your consideration.

Julian Bashir walks a very fine, maddening line between “self-loathing imposter syndrome who knows almost everyone who speaks to him for more than a minute finds him insufferable” and “incredibly self assured and annoyingly arrogant to the point of a minor god complex”.

He knows he’s attractive, he thinks he’s charming as all hell, he knows he’s the smartest person in the room (while also being acutely aware he’s going to put his foot in his mouth any second now), and he just swings wildly between “I don’t deserve anything I have, none of this is mine, my life is not my own, I am a monster” and “HELL YEAH LOOK HOW COOL AND SMART I AM GUYS ARE YOU LOOKING ARE YOU LOOKING”.

And then there’s episodes that reveal that underneath that annoying arrogance, at the very core of who he is, he really, really just wants to help people, and if he fucks that up he WILL take it personally and hold himself responsible even if there’s no way he could have known and like. Can you imagine what his first patient death was like for him. Can you imagine what a fucking nightmare his brain must be 24/7.

He is somehow as inherently self assured as he is in need of constant validation for his ego because you can SEE him break a little when that ego fails him, even a little, and it’s just.

He’s very fun to write. I hate him. (I love him so much, but oh my god.)

most normal thing for an engineer to say to his doctor after getting experimental technology permanently implanted

James Doohan as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott.

Just realised that I can accurately calculate the probability of two Vulcans going into Pon Farr in a Five year mission using my limited knowledge in Statgraphics and statistics

I can even make a tiny graph about it

How many do you think the average starship has? To make the Poisson distribution.

Save him

(he's having a fun and logical time at the enterprise soft play centre)

“—she twisted her throat around the bizarreness of the new language, and her mind around the concepts, wrestling them as if wrestling an angel—the object being not to win but to lose to the other: to surrender into the alternate mind-set and think in the other language, and for the hundredth time become more than she ever had been before the surrender […] Her enemy was changed too; she looked inside her, and found a lover there instead” (The Wounded Sky, Diane Duane).

What I absolutely adore about this depiction of Uhura is how it removes the act of learning a language as "owning" the language, which is more like an act conquest, and instead asserts that the language and way of thinking assimilates you instead of the other way around and that there is joy in that surrender—there's this almost anticolonial sentiment underneath that sort of philosophy and also fits very neatly into IDIC as a concept. Just. Very cool.
