21, she/her, bolding diving into the Star Trek content I wasn’t brave enough to watch before

easily one of my favorite things about TOS is that they just use the same three songs played at different tempos with different instruments and call it a soundtrack

I fucking love it when Kirk is explaining the concept of love to an alien whose never heard of it before. Meanwhile it hard cuts to Spock literally doing the exact same things that Kirk just described as love.

Nothing is funnier to me than where Captain Pike gets his ingredients for all the meals he makes. We all know he cooks things himself, so he must start with raw ingredients.

But where do the ingredients come from? In all likelihood, a replicator.

Pike: Computer, let’s do one rack of raw ribs, a 16 ounce package of uncooked Barilla spaghetti, 14 Roma tomatoes, three heads of organic broccoli, two pasteurized raw eggs, and one stick of unsalted butter.

Aquarium date!! And Bones hates third-wheeling!

Kirk: (to Spock) That thing’s mouth must be like 6 times the size of my head!

Spock: Although their mouths are large, a whale shark’s throat is scarcely bigger than the human quarter.

Kirk: Woah!?! So it couldn’t eat me?

Bones: (under his breath) I wish it would.

Star Trek is like “Jim was a maverick! A real rebel without a cause!”

While in TOS Jim is constantly just throwing out regulations in order to bamboozle people. He and Spock get along so well because they both love malicious compliance

the kirk/spock/mccoy dynamic works so well because someone is always third wheeling. mccoy third wheels kirk and spock's romance, spock third wheels kirk and mccoy being best friends, and kirk third wheels the Spock And McCoy Sarcastic Bitches Roast Fest

WHY does nobody understand. that Spock is a Bitch. this is not a character flaw indeed it is an integral part of his personality that doesn’t actually contradict his deep kindness and compassion!! and actually BOTH of those are traits of his that people fail to recognize and I think it does a very serious disservice to his character. he would not be Spock without these fundamental building blocks (among others)
