LOVE IS NOT A FINITE RESOURCE.

YOU WILL REMINISCE ABOUT THE TIMES YOU WENT FOR IT.

WARMTH CAN BE FELT IN THE POCKETS OF MANY PLACES.

THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A PLACE FOR YOU.

LET PEOPLE LEARN ABOUT YOU. LET YOURSELF BE RECOGNIZED.

RULES ARE TO MERELY HELP KEEP SOME SEMBLANCE OF THE PLOT. YOU CREATE THE REST.

THE TIME IS NOW. THE PLACE IS HERE. THE PERSON IS YOU.

These Rolling Stone pics of Murph and Emily are incredible. Holy shit. Like Emily in her mod leopard print dress and boots with the red belt and red earrings matching her lipstick on a red couch looks completely gorgeous. I'm actually insane about it. Then Murph—what 90s grunge band did this man time travel from? He has never looked so good and cool. Ever, I'm willing to bet. I'd bet this is the coolest he's ever looked. The long hair, the stubble, the jacket. This is peak Murph. Absolute power couple.

One Question

[anghraine]

One of the highlights of the description of younger Kirk as a bookish and severe Academy instructor is that Gary Mitchell, the friend describing him that way, seems to have been his student back in the day and was trying to pass his notoriously difficult "think or sink" class at the Academy.

Present-day Mitchell mentions reading "that longhair stuff you like" to Kirk (now that he's acquired godly powers that include being able to read Spinoza) and there's this random lore drop about how Mitchell helped a lab technician with a crush on Kirk orchestrate her dating campaign, in hopes that it'd distract Kirk enough for Mitchell to survive his class.

It seems pretty widely accepted that Kirk had a romance with Mitchell himself at the time, which is not my take at all, BUT honestly it's hilarious to me that there's this whole Clueless-style "student matchmaking plot to get a strict teacher a girlfriend so he'll chill enough that you can pass the class" history established almost immediately about Kirk. Comedy gold, especially since Kirk and the lab technician ended up in a long-term relationship and he nearly married her.

Bonus: Kirk and Mitchell became close friends but Kirk is still incredulous at the idea of Mitchell voluntarily reading Spinoza in the episode. And when Mitchell flips into obnoxious god mode and describes Spinoza as simple and childish, Kirk is pretty evidently affronted and alarmed. It's not surprising that Kirk has big philosophy opinions given that futuristic humanism is half his personality, but the idea of him as a former philosophy instructor with Spinoza feelings who goes to space and still can't escape Bad Philosophy Takes is incredible. Even by Season 3, it's just like:

KIRK: Dr. McCoy saved your life. PARMEN: I am losing patience, captain. KIRK: And you consider yourself a disciple of Plato?!

I've had this running theory that the drifter and operator are lua and sol themed respectively, due to... so many things, but like. We've got these lines, right.

At the empty crossroads, seek the eclipse. When sol and lua align, the lost shall come home.

And then there's also wally with a whooole bunch of cryptic dialogue that implies that theres wayyy more to the drifter and operator duo than we realize.

Is the eclipse *us*, I wonder?

Does this mean we'll merge, or something, or is it just generally the d/o in general? I wonder if the indifference wants the operator so badly bc of that, on top of the unfulfilled deal which we know basically nothing about.

-Okay but some of the fears that Color has are in fact the same fears that Nightmare has when it comes to Killer.

Like, Color is worried that Killer's so blindly loyal to Nightmare for whatever reason that he wouldn't even think of complaining if he hated it. And at the start that was something Nightmare probably expected. His henchmen should be loyal and obedient and not ask questions nor complain. But now, after years of learning and bonding and softening up significantly he wonders sometimes if that's still the case.

Nightmare knows Killer well, perhaps better than most, but he's not exactly an open book. Especially when it comes to his own wants or needs. More often than not when he makes a request it's intentionally silly or unreasonable for laughs, like asking if they can take Dust to the nearest pet store and try to trade him in. Very rarely does he want something strong enough to make it known, both to himself and others, like asking to keep the first cat he found.

So.

If he hated this. If he truly struggled and fought and agonised with himself about the position he's in and the work he's doing and the life he leads.

Would he say it? Would he realise that was how he felt? Would he even consider saying no was an option?

If Nightmare asked him to do something he really genuinely did not want to, would he just do it anyway because he doesn't believe he has a choice in the matter?

The only way of finding out (besides making a blatantly difficult request of him, which Nightmare is not willing to do) is to simply wait and trust that Killer will tell him if something is wrong. Which... is not exactly foolproof or easy.

But it's part of why Nightmare hates to be around Color too much, because deep down he's more than a little worried that Color could be right and he doesn't know how to fix it.
