nog and jake should have gotten married for many reasons, least of which being their wedding has many hilarious implications re: sisko & his new... in laws? [ID in next reblog] (twitter)

[ID: Ben Sisko shakes the hand of Nog. Jake has his arm around Nog, smiling at the two. Sisko says “I’m proud to welcome you to the family, Nog. Consider my blessing given!!” Nog says loudly (which is really his only volume) “Thank you, sir!” Jake gestures, relived, “I can’t tell you how happy this makes me, Dad! Honestly, we were nervous that you’d be worried, since our cultures are so different and all. Well… Nog was.” Nog confirms, “I sure was!”

Sisko beams at them, “Oh, nonsense! I couldn’t be more thrilled! I mean, marriage is all about blending two families together- in fact, we are as a much of Nog’s family as he is ours!” Seemingly out of nowhere, Quark spawns behind Sisko’s shoulder, sleazily saying “You really mean that, captain?” Sisko looks like he is about to evaporate, regret pouring off him like electricity. /END ID]

Leonard Nimoy pauses for a photo during production of Star Trek III: The Search For Spock

In an interview with Steve Swires published in Starlog 106 (May 1986), the actor/writer/director spoke frankly about the experience of taking the helm on the franchise:

“When I first presented the idea of my directing Star Trek III to Paramount, the response was very good — but there were certain trepidations. We had to talk them through. My position during those discussions was: i don’t want you to perceive me as a problem. I don’t want you to think I’m an actor trying to build a directing career on the strength of my leverage. I want you to see me as the solution to your problem. You need a director, and I know this material. I will bring you a movie that will satisfy the Star Trek audience.’
“I didn’t want to take the posture with the studio of: ‘You want me to act in Star Trek III. Then, I’m the director. Period.’ Instead, we worked out what I felt was a constructive approach. Basically, I told them: ‘Promote from within.’
“The only time there was any conflict about the movie’s content happened during pre-production, when I said I was satisfied with the final script, and was ready to start shooting. The executives had some reservations about ending the picture on Vulcan. I felt very, very strongly about that final sequence. I wanted to end the film by bringing Spock to Vulcan, and going through the ritual. I believed it would work, and that the audience would enjoy it.
“Not being so familiar with Star Trek, the executives didn’t understand what that sequence would mean to the audience. They were worried about it, and tried to convince me to substitute a different ending. They wanted to end with the dramatic escape from the Genesis planet, getting Kirk and Spock on board the Klingon Bird of Prey, reviving Spock in the sick bay, doing a little tag scene and going home.
“I argued vehemently that we had to have the sequence on Vulcan. Showing Spock on his planet, among his people, trying to remember his friends, would be a moving scene. I managed to convince them that I wanted to do it my way, and they agreed. I didn’t discuss the film with them again until I showed them my first cut.”

why don't you project onto a star trek character and then maybe you'll calm down
