(In Purgatory’s Shadow)

(Doctor Bashir, I Presume?) the way these were aired practically back to back.

'Shore Leave' is crazy because it's like

the Enterprise crew goes to an island that brings their greatest dreams to life!

McCoy: I ran into Alice and Wonderland characters!

Sulu: I found a vintage gun I've wanted for years!

Kirk: I ran into a guy I knew in college and he beat me up and I beat him up until we were on top of each other rolling around in the dirt covered in blood with our shirts ripped off and I grinned and grinned and grinned with pleasure

McCoy: wait what

there’s no Star Wars vs Star Trek dichotomy, they are both space based but have completely different themes, morals, universe rules, character arcs, and structure (initially movie vs initially tv show). it makes no sense to rank them against each other

This gotta be the funniest Enterprise-Klingon exchange ever:

I didn’t know I couldn’t reblog posts with a video lol so i have to do the context again, but heres a video of my dog Pearl who passed 3 days ago. She loved to watch ds9 with me and got SO stressed when she thought I didn’t realise it was on? Here she is Pleading to be allowed on my lap, because the possibility of missing out on quark made her experience levels of anxiety that could only be recreated in a lab

I'm just gonna say it. Imagine being an illegal altered human and choosing the furthest, most derelict starbase possible only for it to turn into an essential transport route and trade hub the moment you arrive.

I personally think you get a pass on any poor behavior after that.

the fact that pon farr specifically involves not just being horny beyond belief but also an "irresistible urge to return to the homeworld" is very salmon-coded when you think about it

In Amok time, Spock saying, "After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting," is also in relation to himself.

He has wanted Kirk, has wanted Jim, for far longer than just the day of his Pon Farr. He has wanted him, to have and to hold, and now that he's finally had him, (had him the Vulcan way), he has lost him.

He has wanted Kirk so much that he brought him down to Vulcan, as illogical as that is, for Kirk is human, and Kirk cannot do anything about Spock's marriage to T'pring, and in his wanting he has killed him.

Spock has wanted to the point of destruction, and now he has nothing left to want but regret. Spock is upset, with both himself, and his people's customs, because that has cost Jim his life.

Jim died saving him, died because Spock was human enough in his feelings to want him, and "it is not logical, but it is often true," that feeling has once again, brought about Vulcan self destruction.

He is talking to Stonn, but he is also talking to himself, it is just that Stonn was allowed to live a life with his lover, and Spock was not.

are we ready everybody

The best way I can describe why you need to watch Farscape is that it's Star Trek for sex freaks. And yes, I hear you out there, saying "umm actually Star Trek is Star Trek for sex freaks" but I am looking you in your eyes when I Assure you that it is not even approaching Farscape's level. "But OP have you seen the episode where-" yes. Yes I have. Farscape's doing it freakier. And sexier. I don't know how it's allowed either.

do NOT separate them

My headcanon is that those colourful nutrient cubes in star trek are actually the first attempt at food replication, where they got the nutrients and taste correct but the shape, texture and colours were wrong. So those nutrient cubes would taste like a chicken nugget but look like a blue cube with the texture of apples or something. And when they finally figured out how to make actual food, they just kept those cubes because some people have nostalgia from eating those weird flavour cubes while serving on a starship with a prototype-replicator.

"empowering women by sending katy perry to space for 2 minutes" shut the fuck up. samantha cristoforetti was the first female commander of the international space station and she became an astronaut because of star trek. and there is a real chance she is a kirk/spock shipper
