So the thing is I wasn’t going to comment on the sixth episode. I just got home from a hella good play and I’m tired so I relax with Star Trek but holy shit

What IS that

With that HELLO and welcome to my first thoughts on the sixth episode (The Enemy Within) of the original Star Trek series

Here we go:

- that is a fucking dog

- IS THAT BLOOD?!? On Star Trek???

- so he got transporter cloned.. WHY IS HIS FACE LIKE THAT THO

- I like the fact it’s told a bit in retrospect, like it starts off with the star date and saying that at the time they didn’t know he got cloned

- MCCOY! His friendliness and then the “I have no sympathy for clumsiness” bro wha

- DONT YELL AT MCCOY

- McCoy not knowing what to do about Jim so he goes to Spock lol

- what the fuck is that fuckin thing, it’s rabid man.

- anytime someone is holding the creature there is literally no reason for them to be holding it. Like Kirk is just holding it and then HANDS IT TO SPOCK.. WHY IS THIS NORMAL NOW

- so do people casually just sit on tables here? First we had McCoy, now Spock. Is it just science/medical officers?

- Vulcan nerve pinch for the win

- POV your boyfriends are deeply concerned for your wellbeing (side note: bones looks so soft in the first pic. He cares so much)

- “you have a point, Spock.” “Yes. Always, doctor” STOP FLIRTING

- “If I seem insensitive to what you are going through, you must understand it’s the way I am.” HE SAYS THIS WITH ALL THE CARE IN THE DAMN WORLD. Spock is the most emotional character I have ever seen

- uh oh the circuits

- nooo Sulu! Do they not have better cold protection?

- YEAH I HOPE YOU’RE IN PAIN FUCKER

- so I think what they’re trying to promote is the idea that there’s the kind and indecisive side and the animalistic “sinful” side that has all the impulses and power to make decisions and together they work so that the former side can calm the latter to be more… civilized?

- “god forbid I have to agree with Spock” they’re married and you cannot convince me otherwise

- was that dog okay? Like it was really fuckin angry at something

- HES DEAD JIM MOMENT! WE HAVE A HES DEAD JIM MOMENT

- “for once I agree with you, doctor” THEY ARE MARRIED

- Spock is so riled up rn (every time he shows emotion I’m commenting on it because I think he is so so emotional but then his whole thing is he isn’t)

- SPOCK YOUR LOGIC ISNT LOGICING (having a human half and Vulcan half I think is a bit different than literally being split into two people, but what do I know)

- they are literally the angel and devil on his shoulder, but married, and also in love with him

- what no no bring Sulu back. That was such a good delivery of lines I am so

- this episode shows the power imbalance between Kirk and Janice and that messaging could be more powerful if they really wanted. Like showing how Janice felt forced to say she was okay with it and wouldn’t tell anyone because it was the captain I feel was a big step to take in the 60s (because it was rarely if ever talked about especially on tv) but it still wasn’t enough and was treated horribly in the end. They brush off her experience and also let Kirk be near her which is not okay. I know they wouldn’t but I wish they’d actually addressed the fact that Kirk can pretty much get away with anything and the crew wouldn’t/couldn’t stop him unless they deem it truly necessary (which would be way to far)

- I think the Kirk stuff could be more impactful

- some of those close ups on Kirk are crazy

- Bones is so damn worried about him in the transporter room

- SPOCK IS STRESSED AND HE HESITATES

- “the imposters back where he belongs, forget him” but isn’t the thing is that he is you? Like he’s still there and apart of you, Kirk

Okay, that’s episode six. I don’t have much more to say about this episode.

Star Trek: 30th anniversary Barbie Dolls

If they ever make another AOS film it would be a great opportunity to bring in some minor TOS characters. Think about it, a lot of the crew died when the Enterprise went down in Beyond, so there would be some new crew members, say, one Yeoman Janice Rand or Lieutenant Kevin Riley. I know we can't have Anton Yelchin's Chekov (😢) so why not do an uno reverse where instead of Chekov replacing Kevin Riley, which I'm sure happened bc there's no Kevin Riley post season 2 when Chekov was introduced, they have Kevin Riley replace Chekov. Also, they could bring back Christine Chapel, because she's amazing

Why does this look like a family photo but Spock is their emo son

the man trap really made hikaru sulu and janice rand besties

[trek-tracks]

do NOT ask Spock to beta your fic unless you want to be sic

[whothehellisspock]

Say what you will, Janice Rand is a badass who takes her job seriously. A powerful alien might just destroy the ship any moment now? Well, she has a job to do and nothing is going to stop her.

Patrick O'Brian made this situation a running gag in his Aubery/Maturin novels (the basis for the 2003 film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World). Physician Stephen Maturin was constantly nagging ship's captain Jack Aubrey about his weight, especially as Jack had a tendency to pack on the pounds when on shore for extended periods of time.

Star Trek: TOS Crew at an Ice Cream Shop

Kirk: Orders a cookies and cream sundae with hot fudge and marshmallow sauce. It gets melty and he drops a spoonful on his shirt, like, first bite. Other than that, he's having a great time.

Spock: Orders a single scoop of something unique - matcha, coconut, peppermint, or coffee are some of his go-to flavors. Would die before getting it in a cone and having to lick it. Has to eat very slowly to avoid brainfreeze - may or may not succeed.

Bones: Orders a double scoop of butter pecan, in a cone. Alternatively, if he's feeling adventurous, he'll get a classic banana split. Yes he can and will eat the whole thing. Do not ask him to share.

Scotty: Orders a double scoop of rum raisin, in a cone. Doesn't have to worry about being asked to share that. Second choice is rocky road. Definitely gets some in his mustache.

Sulu: Orders 1 scoop each of a couple weird flavors that don't seem to go together. If there's a unique shop-specialty ice cream, he will get it. Passionately defends his choices... which are usually okay.

Uhura: Orders 1 scoop of coffee ice cream in a cup. Alternatively, fruit sorbet is a solid choice. Preferably, both of these have chocolate shavings sprinkled on top. Her lipstick is gone by the end of the evening, but it's totally worth it.

Chekov: Orders 1 scoop of chocolate in a cup, with some sprinkles on it. Is nervous about ordering this because he thinks it makes him look like a child. It is all over his face by the time he's done with it.

Chapel: Orders 1 scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough in a cup. Bones tells her not to do this because she doesn't know it's egg-free. She does it anyway. Uhura and Rand sample it in exchange for Chapel sampling theirs.

Rand: Orders a double scoop of dulce de leche in a cone. It matches her hair, and also tastes good. Has devised some trick with napkins to keep it from dripping on her hands. Her friends are jealous.
