#the final frontier

[trek-tracks]

Went to a concert this week, predominantly contemporary classical music. One of the first pieces was a setting of a poem. “Oh, ‘Sea-Fever’ by John Masefield,” I said. Everyone was duly impressed by my recognition skills, assuming it was because I’m an English professor.

I didn’t have the heart to tell them that, while yes, I am, and yes, I teach classes in poetry, the reason I immediately placed it was actually Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.

Admit it, Spock. For people like us, the journey itself… is home.

Watching Star Trek V for the first time the other day was such a wild ride from start to finish, but the main takeaway I’m left with was during that early campfire scene, Jim and Bones were absolutely steamed while trying to explain Row Row Row Your Boat to a very sober Spock.

And knowing what we know about Vulcan physiology and their resistance to alcohol, but their weakness to things like chocolate (due less in part to the cocoa content, but more largely because of the SUGAR…) well, it made the subsequent scene even funnier to me where Spock out of nowhere starts dissecting the song, sounding absolutely baked out of his gd mind 💀

“Captain…”

“Spock, we’re on leave, you can call me Jim :3”

“…Jim.”

“Yes, Spock? :3”

“Life is… not a dream… @_@”

“Go to sleep, Spock >_>”

(Don’t even start me on him doing his camping research, knowing he’d be bringing along a food substance that’d get him essentially drunk, and being absolutely fine with that. Poor man just wanted to try relaxing for once and join in with his favourite people 🥺💕)

But also McCoy losing his shit and having absolutely no patience with Spock followed by:

“Oh, I am sorry, doctor… Were we having a good time..? >_>”

Spock died, Came Back Wrong™, and he’s still burning you alive, Bones. Face it - after all that, he’s still the same guy lmaoooo

Will you do a party when you get your 100th frog species?

I should, but that will be very soon and I'm not sure I have time to plan it!
