Spock's cute outfits ✧₊⁺

:-P

There are several things I love about this scene.

1. The policeman didn’t ask where Spock is from. Kirk just started randomly infodumping about his “Chinese” friend.

2. The way Kirk just looks at Spock in desperation.

3. “Perhaps an unfortunate accident I had as a child-” “AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT HE HAD AS A CHILD-“

what am i supposed to do with the fact that kirk is like "oh btw the words 'let me help' are stronger even than 'i love you' haha" and then in the very next episode spock says 'let me help' to kirk

underrated moment in the city on the edge of forever when kirk is physically soothing a pouty spock about his ears being severely out of place in the 1930s

BRO????

THIS IS SO COOL?

I can't read old english but the second chapter is both a translation and notes on the translation/writing choices which i HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEYRE SO COOL

THE MEANINGS AND CHOICES IN TRANSLATION ARE GETTING TO ME

Also so many of them have these awesome explanations behind them and then there's this:

"The Old English word for “doctor”, læce, literally means “leech”, which he would hate being called so, so much that I immediately had to use it for him."

LIKE YEAH THATLL DO IT LMAO

GO CHECK IT OUT ITS INTERESTING AF

[your-name-is-jim]

I think about this a lot.

[wwillywonka]

every time i rewatch city on the edge of forever i'm like "surely it can't actually be Like That i probably just imagined it." and then boom. "where do you estimate we belong, miss keeler?" "you? at his side as if you've always been there and always will."

[morphseagull]

just finished city on the edge of forever and i know we all talk about "by his side, as you always have been and always will be" yeah yeah yeah i too choked on raw yearning when she said that but

EVEN WHEN HE DOESN'T SAY IT, HE DOES?

insane. it's about captain but also about love. this line is the original version of "officer when he's angry with you and detective when he's not" -- love, as loyalty or devotion or service or care or effort or any of the numerous behaviors we come to associate with spock, underlies every instance he ever calls him captain, and here, we see with edith that he even means it when he doesn't. "if I let go of a hammer on a planet that has a positive gravity, I need not see it fall to know that it has in fact fallen" he need not even call him by name to know that everything he DOES is a revelation of care!!!!!!! calling him captain as a love confession, my god. who needs romance when we have duty.
