Spock Shock is a term that describes a fan's infatuation with the Star Trek: The Original Series character Spock. It was first used in print in 1967 in the zine Spockanalia where it was part of its You are Receiving this Zine Because section as well as the name of the included short convention skit by Sherna Comerford, one that was later performed at the very first Star Trek convention, Star Trek Con in March 1969.

Kirk saying i lost a brother once in reference to spock dying in the ending of the final frontier is hilarious bcos not only does it happen directly after the homoeroticism drenched "not in front of the klingons scene" but because kirk actually had a brother who died
i would argue that the key to stop reboots forever is to put people who absolutely fucking despise the original property in charge of its reboots. don’t hire fans, hire haters
They tried this with star trek and it didn't work

I respect people not liking certain Trek, it’s completely valid since some of them are objectively bad, I’m just not that guy. I’m so fucking simple when it comes to Star Trek. You show me Spock and I start munching on drywall. You show me some old Fuck from the 90s and I start crying. I watch the worst story that’s ever written and I just love it, so so so much. I am a total Star Trek simpleton and I stand by that.
Star Trek captains ranked by the likelihood that they would solve an issue by putting on the best damn talent show that starfleet has ever seen
