But what if I said part of what subconsciously drew Spock to Droxine and Zarabeth were that they reminded him in different ways of Christine?

We are so excited to announce that Kathleen Wilhoite will be joining our cast as Old Lady Rags!

We can't wait to work with someone who had such a huge impact on our childhood as Pepper Ann and Witchboard's Zarabeth.

If you wanna help us make sure the whole season is made, consider donating to our Indiegogo!

Mariette Hartley in 'Barquero' (1970) with Lee Van Cleef. Always nice to see her, but I was very dubious about her part in the story...

Ah yes I see the formless super powerful beings have decided to take the forms of familiar people for the ease of communicating. T’Pau and George Samuel Kirk Jr (figures of authority), then Zarabeth (Zar’s mother and Spock’s brief lover), Jocelyn (McCoy’s ex wife) and… Gary Mitchell (he’s Kirk’s one time best friend!)

Interesting that they took two romantic options from Spock and McCoy, and then added Gary Mitchell in there as Kirk’s best friend and not… Carol Marcus, or literally any woman Kirk’s been involved with… hell, he’s been thinking on and off about his son, David. Winona Kirk recently died, but they briefly took the shape of Kirk’s childhood home (burned down prior to the action of the novel), and then divided up into the aforementioned characters.

Even looking at it from “these people are all significant representations of difficult/complicated/upsetting relationships in the characters’ lives” it’s fascinating. T’Pau and Zarabeth showing up makes sense as they’d be top of mind for Spock and Zar, even Sam Kirk makes sense since the life forms briefly took the shape of Kirk’s childhood home. But Gary Mitchell and Jocelyn? At this point McCoy’s been divorced for about 20 years, and Gary Mitchell has been dead about that long as well?

Why these specific people?

Jim in Beta Niobe's past, dutifully adhering to the non-interference directive: I'm from...an island...called Earth

Spock in Beta Niobe's past, not giving a single fuck: yeah we come from another planet millions of light years away, it's fine

Ex Machina informed me that Rand had a daughter, Annie, and while Mr. Bennett is like

Note: Great controversy exists concerning the identity of Annie's father. The Captain's Daughter seems to imply James T. Kirk. However, Christopher L. Bennett has noted that this is, in his opinion, highly unlikely, on the grounds that Kirk would not have a relationship with a member of his crew. As such, his novel Ex Machina identifies the father as "a crewmember". Note that this does not necessarily contradict the possibility of Kirk being the father. (from Memory Beta)

I’m like 👀👀👀👀👀 because !!!! LMAO it just speaks to me, okay

and while I do agree with Bennett’s “Kirk would not have a relationship with a member of his crew” opinion (and it’s the reason why I have trouble writing mckirk because it’s like what would it take for Kirk to have a relationship with a member of his crew) - and would hate if anything like that ever happened on the show/film, current or future or whatever - the possibilities for fanfics 👀

Kirk and Rand sleep with each other after Miri, and then Kirk starts to ignore her and then seduces Lenore a few weeks later, and then she finds out she’s pregnant and leaves Starfleet (I’ve always hc that what happened in Miri changed something between them and that’s why she decided to leave) 

idk how it went in the novel where she was established (it isn’t Ex Machina. Bennett is just using a LOT of stuff from other novels)

unfortunately, the daughter also died from illness at the age of two. But fanfics do not need to go that road.

Spock/Zarabeth + Tuvok/Noss....aching loneliness...and sorrow....

[spockvarietyhour]

and he was FINE.

You don't get it they literally STOLE his BRAIN

[blanc-ci]

Not that I’ve ever actually seen this debated before but if I do ever come across someone being like “mcspirk doesn’t make sense because Spock would think it’s illogical to have multiple partners” I’m just going to gesture towards All Our Yesterdays where Spock was extremely eager to keep both the girl and Dr. McCoy all to himself

Like McCoy mentioned jealousy, but never once did Spock imply that he didn’t want the doctor to be a part of the little fantasy life he was planning for himself there, not even privately to Zarabeth. In fact he continuously verbally demanded that McCoy accept this new dynamic and accept being a part of it.

There was such blatant possessiveness going on. And I go a little crazy thinking about it

*some pic are genderbend*

*No hate for zarabeth(I actually quite like her), but this pic came from me watching ep. all our yesterdays with my sister and she said that the scene where bones pinches zarabeth head is like the scene wife vs mistress in the drama where the wife storms into the room to find her husband with mistress, and my sister asked me to draw Fem!Bones in that scene😭*

I've just had a fun concept idea

Episode of The Big Bang theory where Sheldon is introduced to an elderly couple, and their house has a bunch of Star Trek merch, decor and paraphenalia. He believes its the husband's collection and tries many time, with laughing track galore, to strike conversation with him about it. Only, it isn't the husband's collection, he's big into woodworking or smth, and then the elderly lady reveals herself as the fan and a fandom founder.

Way back in the 70s, she was a fanzine editor and convention organizer type.

She introduces him to fanzines and shows pictures of convention she and her friends organized, along with fandom history, like the letters sent to Paramount to get S3 done. He is sceptical of Fanfiction, having for so long loved canon, but suggesting that people can fix inconsistency and add even more stories through it, he finds he likes it. Namely, she argues with "Well, why would a teenage Spock undergo Pon Farr on Genesis..." and he completes with "WHEN HIS FIRST WAS AT 34 IN AMOK TIME- omg you're right and we can fix that!"

Seeing these fics in the fanzine, he asks her how it began.

"And you started writing this because you desired Spock?! Physically?!" And the lady goes "Well a lot of us really did see the appeal... tall, not a red blooded male, with a mind and such kindness. I still do as a matter of fact!"

Sheldon faints, exclaiming about how Spock wouldn't do that, and she has to fan him with a fanzine. *insert laughing track here*

When he comes to, they talk further, and she asks: "So, if you agree that Spock would not do that with women, do you accept the Premise?" And Sheldon is puzzled, but the sense of secrecy is instantly appealing to him.

She brings out another zine, and introduces him to K/S.

At first he needs convincing but with a t'hy'la thrown in (he gets to go "OMG a reference to the novelisation of Star Trek the Motion Picture by Gene Roddenberry) and logical arguments, citing examples of women Spock refused to engage in relations with in favour of his captain (Leila, Zarabeth, T'Pring), before bringing in the spirk logic about mutual devotion and you got him won over.

Maybe she asks him if he woulf destroy the Enterprise for one of his friends and Sheldon goes "Absolutly not! How could I do that to such a ship! That's far too great a sacrifice- Omg captain Kirk IS in love with Spock!"

They talk about fanfiction more, and she speaks about all the types and genres, the more romantic, the more mature and explicit, and about how you can find or create whatever suits your tastes, and finishes with:

"We lived vicariously through Captain Kirk and Spock, or sometimes just really enjoyed reading about how they got together, or lore of their lives and adventures. They are a beautiful pair and really opened the door for creating about their worlds" We get a little *awww* from the crowd track.

Later we see him on Livejournal or smth looking for Generations fix-it and Sheldon is officially hyperfixating on Spirk.
