I love when kirk gets in a catfight

[pussypopstiel]

God did the directors know hiring misha and jensen that they were just recreating a spirk

rebecca watches ds9: dramatis personae

what are the valerians

ah they worked with cardassians. that seems like a good reason to not let them onto a bajoran space station

but yeah ig you can’t do much without proof

wtf is julian doing in ops? doesn’t he have a sickbay to be running? aren’t there people who need medical attention?

so much for the klingon vessel!

hello there klingon!

good thing julian was here i guess!

or not, given that the klingon died anyway. go back to sickbay julian. do your job

whatever caused that ship to explode is coming for ds9 next

jadzia are you okay

god she’s so beautiful

klingons are a menace to quark’s profits. and quark in general probably

i love how bitchy odo can get with quark

odo are you ok

i don’t think he’s okay!

wtf is julian gonna do. does he know how to treat liquid medical issues

“your body chemistry defies analysis” yeah that fully tracks

julian you should probably try and learn a bit more about changeling biology and stuff. given the changeling on the station

julian are YOU ok. you’re acting a little conniving here

the bajorans aren’t gonna kick starfleet off ds9, don’t worry, you still have six more seasons

“you’ve become quite friendly with major kira” i think jadzia’s a little more than FRIENDLY with her but what do i know

ok everyone’s acting SUPER FUCKING WEIRD

kira wtf are you doing

wtf is anyone doing rn tbh

the little they’re getting out of this journal sounds pretty bad!

i have many questions and not many answers

“the two loveliest creatures on ds9” give it up quark, let them be sapphic in peace

“what can i do for you, major?” “get lost” SHE’S SO REAL FOR THAT

ik smth is messing with their minds but even so there is no heterosexual explanation for this scene

dax is being very reminiscent rn

“i’m getting rid of sisko” no you’re not, it’s only season 1

kira put him in a neck brace??? that’s downright impressive

i don’t think you’re getting satisfaction

miles what are you doing here

ok so whatever happened to the klingons is the same as what’s happening here. only questions are why and how

no fucks were given by sisko on this day

kira’s looking…cozy

time to find out wtf caused all this

ah. the energy spheres did it

interesting clock you’re making there sisko

oh hello again bashir!

so during all this bullshit he’s just been continuing to be a doctor

“i’m certainly not behaving out of the ordinary” julian my guy that is EXACTLY what someone behaving out of the ordinary would say

alright he and odo are gonna fix everything

not soon enough apparently! shit just got dire

odo: i’m playing both sides, so that i always come out on top

i feel like this would make a very good weapon. just unleash it on your enemies and watch as they destroy each other

bye bye telepathic energies or whatever those things were

when in doubt, open the airlock

this was, without a doubt, one of the star trek episodes ever

[spockderangementsyndrome]

One thing I'm truly enjoying about watching TOS is that no one has the perfect, airbrushed features we see on TV actors nowadays. Takei and Nimoy both have prominent acne scars, Kelley and Nimoy have crooked teeth. Everyone has crowsfeet and other wrinkles. I know the show was never meant to be displayed in such high definition, we aren't meant to see those features, just like we aren't meant to see the make-up or the uniform zippers. Nonetheless, it's a beautiful little time capsule of human imperfection and I smile every time I notice a new one.

[firstofficerkittycat]

TOS remastered is so deeply evil to me like what the fuck is ur damage??????ur gonna remove the sparkly sparkly stars?????for realism??????hitting and killing u

[discoonthegrass]

Watched The Search for Spock for the first time the other day, and wow this movie is such a tragic love story I’m in awe:

Kirk reflects in his personal log that he feels very uneasy, like a home without the children except even more empty (basically implying that even his “spouse” is gone)

Jim feels that he’s left the noblest part of himself (Spock is a part of him apparently) on the new planet

Sarek automatically assuming that Kirk holds Spock’s katra (why would he assume that if they were just friends)

“Your son meant more to me than you could know. I would’ve given my life if it could’ve saved his.”

Sarek essentially forcing Kirk to relive the worst possible moment of his life, and Kirk tearing up all over again

Jim saying he has a responsibility to Spock’s eternal soul “as surely as if it was his own” (if this isn’t admitting they’re soulmates idk what is)

Jim directly being told that if he goes through with this, he will never sit in the captain’s chair again which has always been shown as the most important thing to him, yet he completely ignores that and goes to warp speed because now nothing matters more than getting Spock’s soul to its resting place

Even in the middle of an intense confrontation with the Klingons, Jim’s face still betrays his hope and joy after he hears about the “Vulcan scientist [he’s] acquainted with”

Jim BLOWS UP the Enterprise instead of surrendering to the Klingons because he can’t give up on saving Spock now, and barely even mourns since he’s already lost someone more important

Jim demanding that Spock get beamed up and the Klingon captain refusing because he can tell how much Jim wants it/cares for Spock

Jim immediately rushing to Spock’s unconscious body and shielding it with his own, draping Spock’s body over himself in a protective “white knight” stance

Unlike everyone else, Jim is restless during the fal-tor-pan, wanting to be with Spock but being prevented from doing so and resorting to pacing instead

Jim not even asking about how Bones is faring but immediately wondering about Spock

“I had to do [it]. If I hadn’t tried, the cost would’ve been my soul.”

Sarek even points out that Jim paid with his ship and his son, but Jim genuinely feels it was worth it

Spock, having just been revived, is supposed to leave to get healed but is compelled to turn back — he cannot recognize any of them (not even McCoy who he literally cohabitated in the same body with) except Jim

Spock asking why Jim came back for him, and Jim responding “because the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many” (the reverse of the Vulcan philosophy—he’s saying it was illogical but he needed Spock back and Spock too needed him)

Spock parroting the “I have been and always shall be your friend” line, then finally identifying him as “Jim”

Jim’s face melts into the biggest smile ever seen on his face, even as he’s tearing up from joy

Suffice to say, I love this movie and will be considering it a romance with a side of action from now on.

[ghostinacardboardbox]

Alright I’m starting season two of TOS which means it’s Amok Time!! Very excited to see how gay it actually is.

[fluorescentbrains]

they did t’pol so dirty in so many ways but the panar syndrome arc goes crazy in a good way. t’pol was telepathically assaulted and infected with what is essentially just vulcan hiv and when vulcan doctors deny her medical care because they consider telepathy users “undesirables” she refuses to reveal that she was not a willing participant in telepathy because she doesn’t want to contribute to more discrimination. because she believes everyone deserves medical care no matter what. ally of all time no one is doing it like her

[dgcatanisiri]

I love that it was Hoshi and Travis specifically who got namedropped in Those Old Scientists. Cuz if you make a list of things that Enterprise failed to give the time and attention to that deserved it, from people to plot points to cultures and beyond, those two are definitely DEFINITELY at the top of the list.

So the fact that in-universe, they're remembered so highly as to inspire people a hundred years later is VERY touching as a result, as if to say "they deserved better then, we can offer them something better now."

[sergeylazarev]

[pussypopstiel]

rebecca watches ds9: in the hands of the prophets

wtf is a jumja stick anyway

keiko you can’t call your husband by his last name. that’s your last name too

hello lady, you are not a student, why are you at the school

oh god it’s religion vs science

dad and i both just went “oy”

hard to believe this premiered 30 years ago

miles: it’s ok i have one here

miles: does not have one here

winn. i’ve heard that name. people don’t like her i think

this episode could have been made today

sisko is just the “i’m not the messiah” “HE IS THE MESSIAH” meme personified

what is it with bajorans and ears. they’re not even pointy

“i cannot be responsible for the consequences” that sounds very bad!

tf is that blob

how did this guy get mixed up with tritanium or whatever it is

jumja stick man was mean to keiko. kill him now

ma’am it isn’t your choice whether the bajoran children go to keiko’s school

props to keiko for standing up for herself

hi jake!

keiko is the 24th-century galileo

nothing wrong with the bajoran faith (or any faith) but leave keiko the fuck alone about it

bareil seems like a nice guy

someone phasered the ensign guy??? why??? what’d he do????

“apparently, he was getting murdered” thank you odo, very helpful

oh god more bajorans

BOMB???????

hope no one was inside!

ok i get why people don’t like winn. i don’t like her either

“you want nothing less than to destroy us” i think you mean nothing more

i’m worried neela might be sus

hi bareil!

yep, neela’s sus

neela what are you planning now

i’m guessing she’s gonna kill bareil

NEELA STOP

NEELA WHAT IS IN THE BOX

NEELA PUT DOWN THE PHASER

not the slow-motion noooo lmao

maybe slo-mo scenes were intense 30 years ago but now they’re just funny

if winn is a true believer then clearly it’s overrated

“i don’t think you’re the devil” 10/10 compliment

one season down, six to go!

[spockderangementsyndrome]

Love it when we get to watch Star Trek on Star Trek

[pissfaggit]

He's always fucking finding repressed sopping wet pathetic little men that want to kill him and then having homoerotic mind melds with them

[discoonthegrass]

The Final Frontier is certainly… a movie of all time, but it does have some pretty cute moments:

Spock taking interest in Jim while he's climbing El Capitan and distracting him so much that he falls

Jim calling for Spock as he falls and Spock catching him without hesitation, then lightly teasing him for his choice to free climb

Jim knew he wouldn't die because Spock (and Bones) are with him

When Bones jokes that he liked Spock better before he died, Jim immediately shuts that down

Jim saying he needs a shower, Spock giving him a very thorough once-over, and then agreeing with a simple “yes”

Wanna join him Spock?

Jim complaining that he misses his old captain chair and Spock breaking his stoicism to give him a look of sympathy

Jim draping himself over Spock when Spock studies Sybok’s face on the screen

Also, he steals Spock’s “fascinating” line - their mannerisms rub off on each other after all this time

Jim immediately trusting Spock’s opinion for beam down coordinates despite his own misgivings, and the two of them being very on sync during the entire storming of Sybok’s bar

Kirk: “You betrayed everyone on this ship!” Spock: “Worse, I betrayed you.”

Proves once and for all that Spock loves Kirk more than anyone or anything else

Kirk angrily exclaiming that he “ought to knock Spock on his goddamn ass” and Spock offering himself if it’d make him feel better

Spock offering his hand to help Kirk up after he's electrocuted in the brig, then the two of them holding hands for longer than necessary

Spock picking up Kirk with his rocket-boots and the two clinging onto each other in a loving embrace, to the point that Bones doesn't want to join them

Spock resisting the brainwash because his place is with Kirk and he no longer has to fear his human side (he is not an outcast anymore while with Kirk)

Seeing Kirk get struck by lightning for asking a question, Spock still stands up to God and asks the same one, demanding Kirk get his answer

Spock actually cursing at the Klingon ambassador in order to get him to comply with saving Kirk

After Spock’s dramatic turn in the gunner’s chair, Kirk’s face melts into one of pure love/amazement as he cries “Spock!”

Kirk thinking he was going to die, and Spock giving into the illogic of the situation and admitting it was impossible because he was never alone (basically, as long as Spock is alive/with Kirk, he will do anything to prevent his death)

Jim putting his hands on Spock’s shoulders and pulling himself closer so that they're about to kiss, and Spock stopping him with “please, captain, not in front of the Klingons”

They're gonna make out once they're in private tho

This movie feels like a fever dream that Jim’s subconscious came up with lmao
