#for whom gods destroy

[togoldlybo]

My favorite thing about “Whom the Gods Destroy” is that Spock, when faced with a classic doppelgänger situation, does not even BOTHER to try to figure out which Kirk is the real Kirk. Instead he responds with basically “You can’t stay like that forever. I’ll wait.” AND PULLS UP A CHAIR.

King behavior.

Isn't it interesting that Spock refers to his friendship with Jim as shameful when he is infected by a virus that reveals one's inner feelings/desires? That he calls Jim "my friend" while he is in the blood fever of pon farr and shouldn't be able to speak at all? That he tells Jim he has always and ever shall be his friend while dying to save everyone? And then repeats the phrase mostly word for word after he is brought back to life and slowly regaining his memories (I think?? I shouldn't be posting this because I am still only on season 2! but I can not ignore the circumstances of when he uses the term "friend")

And later, by the third season in the episode Whom Gods Destroy, they refer to each other as brothers without anything altering their inhibitions.

Like. My point is they are not declared as lovers until the t'hy'la footnote, but they are declared as friends and as brothers throughout the series. Their love can not be openly declared in the show or movies but exists literally in the margins, outside of the boundaries.

Me: You're asking the real questions now jimmy boy

That’s what I heard

[discoonthegrass]

Whom Gods Destroy: Kirk and Spock are taken prisoners by a former starship captain named Garth, who now resides at, and has taken over, a high security asylum for the criminally insane.

Plato’s Stepchildren: After Dr. McCoy helps the leader of a planet populated by people with powerful psionic abilities, they decide to force him to stay by torturing his comrades until he submits.

this deserves to be its own post

Jim: "...Mr. Spock and me brothers."

Garth: "Mr. Spock, do you consider Capt. Kirk and yourself brothers?"

Spock: shitshitshit I can't lie. Shit. Fuck. can't say I'm screwing my CO. think, Spock, THINK. "Capt. Kirk speaks somewhat figuratively and with undue emotion; however, what he says is logical, and I do, in fact, agree with it." nailed it.
