clips from an episode of strange new worlds, edited with audio from deep space nine.
The camera focuses on T’Prill, T’Pring’s mother as she speaks, but instead of her voice it’s Zek, the Farengi leader from Star Trek deep space nine. He says: “I predict a big future for you Pel, you certainly have the lobes”
The camera then cuts to Spock and the voice of Pel says “so, you like my lobes?”
The camera briefly shows T’Pring, looking at Spock with confusion as Quark’s voice says “Pel?”
The camera then cuts back to T’Prill, and Zek’s voice says “yes, I do”
Finally the camera cuts back to Spock who takes off his fake Vulcan ears as Pel’s voice says “good! Then you can have them!” The voices of Zek and Rom can be heard screaming as he does this.]
listen, they are never going to stop making star trek shows. So i know if i bide my time and wait like 10-20 years there will eventually be a star trek show where kirk and spock are a gay couple. there is only so long they can beat the gay spock allegations down with a stick thats all im saying.
I love this scene as much as the rest of you, but we truly need to discuss Captain Pike's very loud expression which I think is just... saying so much here.
I really, really like Ethan Peck as Spock.
You will never, even with a billion lifetimes be able to top Leonard Nimoy. That version of Spock is a cultural icon, so why bother even trying to be THAT? Go a different direction, and take a different approach. And this version of Spock is one I absolutely am falling in love with the more time we have with him.
I know guardians of the precious canon will come in and have a lot of things to say but... fuck 'em. I'm just here to be entertained, and I very much am.
