reverse pop opinion on spock :) an easy one
hichic sniff... so many things to talk about... 🤧bwachoo... but god since i just rewatched (some of) them recently, i think his arc throughout the tos movies was so wonderfully done and i rlly resonated with it..... ough..
bc LIKE i think one problem with how trek does aliens sometimes is the constant hypocrisy. and theres a level to that thats unavoidable... i realise that esp for pre-streaming tv there does have to be a certain identifiable-ness (?) within each species; that, moreover, there's limited time do what you can with each species as you introduce them; and that as a franchise, you're going to have counttlesssssss writers and editors and actors and producers and whatever have you interpreting and fussing with the piece so....
yeas you're gonna get episodes with really nuanced insights onto, like, klingon culture and then the next episode they a homogenous entity that all screams the exact same crap all over agaun. and they for suresies do the SAAAMEE THING TO VULCANS nonstop (and that one pisses me off the most, bc im terribly biased) with their own grasp on logic and the philosophy behind + they put it so black and white....
& idk eek... squeak... i love the little journey of it with spock within the movies. i most seriously do. bc he doesnt ever reject the notion of logic. it IS a fundamental truth about himself, that he thinks like that. but instead its about learning to extend that, to allow your own guiding principles be the foundations of sth bigger... as he says himself, logic is only the beginning of wisdom...
anyway. its like i said i myself LOL. at the risk of sounding sooo corny lame im like... for suresies a little autistic boy and idk. i think i myself find it very hardto break out of "logical" thinking sometimes if that makes sense... idk THAT makes me sound like an arse, but i seriouslydont even mean it in a pretentious way- i mean it in its i KNOW its a very real shortcoming of myself & i feel severely limited by it. growl. & its just... okie.. smile... again bc like i said-he gets to keep that about himself and grow as a person and have such a rich perspective of the universe by the end of the series thats soo uniquely to him and its sth. GOOD. smile... i love spock.. anyaways i cant say more i'll get shy
