Terribly sorry to hear of the passing of Aron Eisenberg earlier today (September 21, 2019).

Deep Space 9′s Nog is a wonderfully and surprisingly complex character, one of Trek’s best, because he represents what Trek at its heart is all about: the breaking of stereotype, developing of cross-cultural relationships, striving for achievement, and coping with loss and setbacks to emerge on the other side, changed but resolute. Eisenberg’s wonderful performance, which skillfully developed Nog’s nuance and charm over seven seasons, was inspiring and heartfelt.

This is a loss, for sure. My best wishes for everyone in coping.

To absent friends.

thinkin bout him (leonard nimoy)

like… he chased down jack kennedy to demand his cab fare… he paid to see a therapist once a week just to speak to her in yiddish bc he didn’t want to fall out of practice… he defined science fiction television thru a character that nobody thought people would like… he made people like spock thru his sheer dedication to building him up as a genuine and organic character… he did a photography project and released a book of photographs to appreciate fat women’s bodies… he could perform shakespeare in yiddish… he wrote “we are all children / needing and wanting / each other’s / comfort and / understanding / we are all children / searching for love”… he just got it, man, he just understood… i miss him

The best thing about Kira Nerys is that she is strong and brutal, she won’t hold punches, but she’s also kind and hurt and lonely and she is allowed to be all of these things. No one thinks she’s weak because sometimes she cries, sometimes she’s sad and scared and at no point is that ever even implied to take away from her strength. On the surface she seems like the classic strong woman with a shitty background who has no emotions but the reality is that’s just not realistic, of course she feels things but it doesn’t make her less of a fighter and there is not a single moment in the whole show that makes it seem like her feelings are a girly weakness. Anyway, I could genuinely rant for weeks about how complicated and wonderful Kira Nerys as a character is but I won’t.

ODO YOU SAVAGE

Starfleet @ Leonard McCoy: Could you please just stop violating the Prime Directive for humanitarian reasons, just for a second

Leonard McCoy:

Sonequa Martin-Green has done something amazing with her portrayal of Burnham, in that she is the most believable “stranger in a strange land” character I have ever seen. She is simultaneously vulcan, with the speech patterns and facial non-expressions and thought processes, a logical, rational officer who is also undeniably human, in the most brutally honest way and I love her for it, because it makes all the emotions she does show more amazing for it.

What my point actually is though, is that every time Michael Burnham smiles my heart fucking stops because I am perfectly aware of how rare that is and I CANNOT FUCKING BREATH WILL YOU PLEASE STOP FOR THE LOVE OF G-D.

*dies quietly in a corner*

THATS THE ONE

Also I love that her “comfortable default” is very flat, very vulcan. And it takes a lot of either joy or anguish to get her out of that. And when she does, it is either a wonder, or absolutely heartbreaking.

I must have missed this episode. The Enterprise crew in full Rocky Horror Picture Show gear.

My main goal was to experiment with Seven’s hair but I got carried away to the many possibilities of her design. Also, it’s never late to complain that they never gave her comfy clothes

ok but I would literally die for them

Same

who the FUCK wrote “I have been and always shall be yours” on the wrath of khan screenplay and was like ‘ah yes just space dudes being space dude pals’ like what the honest actual hell

Kira Nerys outfits ranked because i’m gay and i love her

original outfit and hair, the weird shoulders and sleeves that have no function? in fact looking very 80’s and like she wants to be catapulted into space, seems appropriate 7/10

outfit without jacket, showing off the white top underneath??? 100000/10 i am gay

pregnancy outfit? fucking adorable, nothing more to say 10/10

season 6 (maybe earlier too?) outfit and hair. remaking the original uniform to be a full red like the pregnancy outfit ???? keeping the belt? genius 1000000000/10 i am gay

i can support this s7 outfit still being full red but changing the design??? removing the belt??? making it look even more like a jumpsuit and that MATERIAL??????? WHY????? the top is fine until it just CUTS OFF with that giant seam and it’s only saved by the color still being bright red. anyway moving on, kira’s styling peaked in s6 but the longer hair is also cute so 5/10

Update:

people have asked me to add intendant Kira and you know what you’re absolutely right how could i forget compulsive evil laugh bisexual mirror mirror Kira ????

GIRL!!! the FUCK !!! you’re nuts but you’re also gay and i LOVE YOU ! on to the outfit: IN THE FUTURE WE WALK AROUND IN FOIL REPRESENTATION! hell yeah! that foil tiara/headband? mirror mirror universe continues to love the bling ! weird spider-like belt formation across the chest?? definitely creepy and fitting in with her other… activities… mirror mirror people sure love that leather huh, also last point: THE POSE? THE DRAMA?? 50000/10

no-one:

me: just because data doesnt express or “feel” his emotions in the same typical way we see in others doesnt mean he doesnt feel them, he loves the crew, he loves spot, he loves his job, he loves painting, he felt pain when he lost lore, he feels pain every single time they lose a crew member, he feels for the people they help, he has a strong sense of justice, he values life heavily, he wants to help people more than anything, its more than programming there are parts of him that are nothing to do with dr soong and entirely due to him, you could build another data exactly the same and you could not replicate him because the life he has lived, the people he has met, the choices hes made, they all made him Data, they made him who he is, he doesnt feel the way humans do but that doesnt mean he doesnt feel

Everyone needs a picture of J. G. Hertzler (Martok) holding a gay bat'leth on their dash
