Star Trek TOS Spock Whump List
First Officer Spock, played by Leonard Nimoy.
My favorites are in bold.
Season 1
1x1 The Man Trap - attacked off screen, bloody wound on forehead, brief medical treatment, heavy breathing, shoved by alien and falls into bookcase.
1x2 Charlie X - both legs broken (very brief) then healed
1x4 The Naked Time - infected by alien virus, cries
1x16 The Galileo Seven - stranded on alien planet, crewmembers argue with him, sacrifices himself to help others escape (they don't let him) leg trapped by boulder, rescued, limping
1x29 Operation -- Annihilate! - infected by parasitic alien that attacks his nervous system, intense pain, fought twice, restrained, temporary blindness, worried friends
Season 2
2x1 Amok Time - extreme physical and emotional stress that will kill him in 8 days, fought, brief sadness
2x5 The Apple - poisoned, runs into force field, struck by lightening (second degree burns on back) pain
2x7 Catspaw - chained up in dungeon
2x10 Journey to Babel - difficult decision, gives blood, sedated, recovering in sick bay
2x19 A Private Little War - shot by primitive gun, helped to walk, unconscious, sick bay, worried friends, slapped in the face several times
2x23 The Omega Glory - hit by phaser blast, weak, worried friends
2x21 Patterns of Force - whipped, bloody marks on back, handcuffed, imprisoned (TW: this episode has depictions of Nazis)
Season 3
3x1 Spock's Brain - brain is stolen, surgery to put it back in (yes, it's just as strange as it sounds)
3x5 Is There in Truth No Beauty? - driven mad by looking at an alien, subdued by phaser, sick bay

i genuinely love when you can tell an older show was Not made with high quality video viewing in mind. i am watching knight rider and constantly seeing all the little mistakes they surely brushed under the rug thinking nobody would see them on their crunchy little CRTs back in the 80s, that are huge attention grabbers now in HD fullscreen on my 3 foot computer monitor
the biggest one of course is all the drivers/controllers for the (in-universe) self driving car, kitt. there's guys tucked down in the footwells who can't always stay out of the shot. there's a guy who has a Car Seat Suit to blend in and look like the drivers seat from a distance, but you can always tell when that's the method they're using for a particular shot because its so much thicker than the passenger seat next to it and the headrest is missing it's cutout section. in at least one instance he starts taking the suit off too early, on a focus shot of the damn car, so its REAL visible.
all the extremely obvious stunt drivers or performers who look nothing like the character they're supposed to be
props, such as animals, vanishing from the car interior for stunt/race sequences.
the production crew (or their shadows) being visible in the background. only at a glance, but its especially hilarious in shots where nobody else is supposed to be around
the camera panning out from a sound stage set far enough that you can actually see over the edges of the set and into the stage they were filming in. mostly this happens with their truck trailer mobile unit thing.
this one isn't a mistake but every time the car "turbo jumps" they CLEARLY hide the ramp behind another car, a prop, the environment, and its just. so charming. sometimes its blatantly on screen just for a moment. like... of Course in real life this car isn't magically leaping 20 feet, of course its a ramp, but it's still so silly and fun to be reminded of how they were doing those stunts to begin with.
also not really a mistake but related, the bracket they keep on the front of the car for stunt work.... is just left on half the time. cuz it's a pain to take on and off.
and there are more examples that are more unique that haven't cemented themselves in my head well yet, but these are the more notable or common things i see and it's really charming. if i'm not giggling to myself noticing the "seams" and flaws and so human imperfections of your show or movie what EVEN is the point. hollywood is too flashy these days i think!

I understand why the Billy Joel Glee episode cut down Piano Man to be shorter but it's so ironic because Billy Joel literally has a whole other song where he complains about that song being cut down for radio play.

Both. Both is good.
I'm happy about the Trigun remake because whatever you think about this new version, it has resurrected the old fans and brought in new ones. I missed Trigun when the fandom was alive so it's nice to see it thriving once more. 😊
Love and peace! ❤
I'm also hoping that this new popularity means there will be movies, games, merchandise and all kinds of new Trigun stuff coming in the future! The anime was always amazing, but the timing wasn't right for it in 1998 and it didn’t gain enough popularity in Japan at the time, now people are ready for it! ^^

The ask for viewers to have all of this prior knowledge doesn’t stop there, either. It’s one thing to cross journeys among shows that air on the same streaming service where those who watch The Mandalorian can easily see that a new show in the Star Wars universe is releasing new episodes. The problem is that there are just so many television shows going on not just with Disney+ but across the gamut. The Mandalorian grew to be so popular as a result of its ability to transcend the universe. It was a simple show with a premise of one person having to save another for its two first seasons. There wasn’t a need for viewers to know the politics of this world, what Order 66 was, or what a purrgill is. Season 2 made a big swing when it brought in a pair of Jedis to this world in Luke Skywalker and the aforementioned Ahsoka. What that also did, though, was open up this series to far more lore than its audience may want.

Another new anime I started this week: Yuri Is My Job!
(probably better known as "Façade: The Anime", lmao)
The best way to sum up this show is that there are a bunch of girls working at a themed cafe where everyone is playing the role of a schoolgirl in a Shoujo/Yuri manga. The reality is that everyone's relationship outside of their "sisterly" characters is very different, and everyone must put on a façade to keep the customers (who are apparently hyper-invested in the story the cafe is creating) entertained and paying to see more.
The whole thing seems like it's wrapped in several layers of irony and trope deconstruction (almost like the anime itself is putting on a façade!), so I have a feeling I know how this series will turn out, unfortunately. Nonetheless, I am curious to see where it will go, as the premise has some good potential for comedy and I like the visual gags for the main character's inner thoughts. Also yes, I'm still a sucker for schoolgirl romance stories, bite me.
Anyway, here's hoping this anime hits me better than the last façade-laden anime I tried watching! (The Eminence In Shadow) If it goes well, I'm sure you'll see more posts from me anyway!
