#TOS rewatch

Kirk ending The Changeling talking about how Nomad could have been a doctor "My son, the doctor," extra funny given that his actual son whom he doesn't acknowledge has a doctorate

love amused Spock listening to McCoy rambling

Rewatching Star Trek TOS and I can not emphasize enough how amazing it is. Their thoughts on AI, their ideas on a society that cares more about beauty and looks than it should, their ideas of friendship and not leaving anyone behind.

This show is so much more than just adventures on space. It is funny, clever, and with such a great cast of characters that I will never get tired of rewatching it.

Live long and prosper and have a fascinating week!

the biggest heart eyes you ever done seen this side of the galaxy

[doesnotloveyou]

watching a star trek TOS episode where a starship captain has a psychosis that makes him aggressive and manipulative. he kidnaps kirk and spock, tortures his doctor, kills another mental patient, and threatens the safety of the Enterprise crew.

despite this, kirk continues to show him dignity and respect. instead of villainizing him, kirk reminds him his mental illness is not his fault and the awful things it has caused him to do are not who he truly is.

when spock finally shoots the man you think "well that's the end of that guy." but then we learn spock intentionally only stunned him, and the man is last seen getting mental health treatment. he is unaware of what has passed or who he is, and is confused to be referred to as "Captain" but he returns the respect he receives

Mental illness was treated better in a '60s scifi show than it is now.

Where's that David Lynch meme that goes "Believe it or not, Kirk survived a genocide." "Elaborate on that." "No."?

[lenievi]

I love this exchange so much, especially the way Spock is happy about it, and because there's a similar exchange in The Naked Time, it almost feels like an inside joke between them, even though it's literally the second scene they ever interacted in directly. (I also like how they chose Spock-McCoy banter to tell us about how Vulcan anatomy is different)

I will forever wonder why they showed that a Vulcan heart was on the left side TWICE and then they were like "btw the heart is where the liver is" in a dialogue

I want to kill them with hammers

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve seen Captain Kirk drive a computer to suicide I’d have 15 20 cents.

[sevibun]

i think we’d be best friends

i will never not love star trek b plots. yeah we accidentally warped back in time and now we have an american pilot aboard who is stuck between two worlds and wants to go home to his life and family but cannot in fear of disrupting the timeline of the universe. yeah we have to break into the military to steal back the tapes containing our ship being spotted so we don't irreversibly change history. yeah we have to consider the cost of a single human in the face of catastrophy. yeah we have to bend all laws of physics and logic to slingshot ourselves back to the present and it might not even work. yeah we might be stuck in time forever. yeah...also kirk's computer got hacked and it won't stop flirting with him.
