Mad respect for Star Trek TOS reairing their own pilot within an episode as a series of memory files during Spock's Court Martial hearing

“SiNcE wHeN hAs StAr TrEk BeEn PoLiTiCaL!?”
It’s been political since Number One was made second in command of a fucking Star Ship in 1965!
Deal with it!

Ranting all autistic-like in the group chat about how fucking lame the brainiacs in the star trek TOS pilot were. Total incel activity radiating off those guys. It was awesome how bitchless they were lmao Loved them. Also someone tagged one of my posts "fish posting" and I want them to know that's funny as shit I'm so fucked up dawg. Did y'all know that the giant Australian cuttlefish pretends to be a girl fish so it can be a part of the dominant male fish's harem and mate with the females in secret?? The brain dudes shoulda learned a thing or two yo. Also I am completely sober from anything and everything while writing this I just have adhd
#fun fact: i have been sober for every single post ive ever made#shitpost#shitposting#dank humor#fresh memes#dank memes#fishposting#star trek#star trek tos#star trek pilot#marine biology memes#marine biologist#autism#autistic rant#infodump#special interest

I need every Leonard McCoy/DeForest Kelley fan to go watch Bonanza's "The Decision" post-haste: YouTube (48 min.)
It features Kelley as a country doctor falsely accused of murder, and it's such a great McCoy prototype. He serves absolute cunt behind bars, is a hall of fame wife guy, and has his shirt half unbuttoned the whole episode. Please.
#deforest kelley#leonard mccoy#bonanza#westerns#also features Jon Hoyt as the antagonist--he plays pike's doctor in the TOS pilot/The Menagerie#two star trek actors for the price of one western!

Something about how Jim became so accustomed to Starfleet parlance that it’s the only parlance he can speak at all. Something about how his relationship with his ship and his work as Captain extends to language as well, to the way he handles and expresses his emotions.
Amok Time – Kirk is confronted with the fact Spock keeps a dangerous secret that, if not shared, might end up with his first officer killed
The Apple – With the landing party marooned on a strange planet and the USS Enterprise being pulled ever closer to the ground, Kirk asks Scotty something beyond excellence.
The Doomsday Machine – Commodore Matt Decker stands in the maw of a monster with a dead crew and stripped of any will to live. Kirk tries to bring his old friend to reason, but nothing else can be done for Decker as he looks death in the eye.
I understand how, especially in the third instance with Matt Decker, he might've seemed cold (your buddy is about to off himself, and you remind him the higher-ups spent too much money on his formation), but I see it more as Kirk trying to ground both himself and his friend (who is also a Commodore, might I remind you) than simply reducing Decker to his position.
It also accidentally reveals a lot about Jim (although reveal is not the best word, as that same thought has been explored in numerous episodes before), how much his sense of worth is tied to his job—to how well he can perform and excel at it.
But that's not all he's saying. In both instances (Amok Time and Doomsday Machine), Kirk puts himself in the Federation's place because he sees its recognition as more valuable, more "worth living for" than his own.
It's his way, the way of a man who knows no life other than that of servitude, of saying I care about you, and I don't want to lose you.
It's really tragic that it is not enough to save Decker. If both Matt and Jim share the belief (which appears more often than not in Starfleet overachievers) that your inner worth is tied to how well you can perform it, Matt is left face to face with the rather morbid fact that he failed severely and his whole crew is dead because of it.
To sin is human, yes, but if the Doomsday Machine is the Devil, as the Commodore himself put it, it truly is a shame Decker did not view himself as deserving of forgiveness

Sulu and Chekov in TOS piloting a whole ass starship with just unlabelled buttons and no steering mechanism is already batshit crazy and wildly impressive, but honestly, I feel like from TNG onwards changing the control panels to touchscreens probably makes flying the starship shittier and even more insane.
At least with buttons, there's tactile feedback from it. You know you're pushing the button because you feel it, and you can rely on muscle memory because the buttons are always at the same place. Meanwhile, a touch screen is literally just a flat slick surface, imagine trying to fucking fly away out of a fight and oops your finger slipped and you've accidentally fired your phasers. Oh no, my palms are all sweaty under a high-pressure battle with hostile enemies, and now my touchscreen is freaking out because there's liquid on it, oh shit my sweat just imputed flight pattern alpha-elpsilon-gamma 24 and we're gonna crash straight into a romulan bird of prey. Oh fuck star fleet just updated my software and the buttons are now a different size and all rearranged I literally can't fly this shit anymore.
The stupid little touch screen next to the captains chair is even worse! Oh no I leaned on the armrest a little, and now we're on red alert, and I've jettisoned the pod.
