hey sorry but they goyified your inherently jewish written character. yea. yea no they tried catering to a wider audience. yea they made him scorf down a pile of bacon. i’m so sorry

#star trek snw #spock #judaism #leonard nimoy #also apology to leonard nimoy #i’m not even at the episode yet but i saw a bunch of spoilers on twt. and That clip #not to mention the nonsensical exaggerated gen z talk paramount put in the caption #not to ALSO mention the way they try so desperately to make him straight #quite harrowing from everything i’ve seen #yes i’m aware some jewish people don’t keep kosher and i don’t mean offense with this post #but many jewish trek fans feel it important to keep spock’s unabashed jewishness in tact #DISCLAIMER: i am not jewish. this post does not have significant weight and i do not wish to speak on behalf of jewish friends #lamb of blog

LEONARD NIMOY as Lestat de Lioncourt

Paramount acquired the film rights to Anne Rice’s debut novel Interview with the Vampire in 1976. Leonard Nimoy was lobbying to be cast as the story’s charismatic antagonist, Lestat, by the following year. He told the New York Times that he “could create interest” in the film and that “I want that role. I am right for that vampire.” Nimoy went on to star in a Paramount production shortly afterwards when he brought his iconic character Spock back to the screen in Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979). An Interview with the Vampire adaptation, meanwhile, wouldn’t arrive in theatres until 1994. (source)

#leonard nimoy #lestat #interview with the vampire #iwtv #i know that visually he wasn't right for the role (like even with a blonde wig he probably wouldn't have been right for it) #but ever since I read this months ago I've been imagining a universe in which we got nimoy!lestat #I picture him as being a lot like david bowie's jareth. in my head. #but we'll never know. and for good or ill...tom cruise did nail the assignment. #i still like to wonder 'what if' though!

Since people seem confused on this issue

“Regarding the origins of the Vulcan gesture involving touching of two fingers with two fingers, Leonard Nimoy explained in his book I Am Spock that the gesture was not meant to be the Vulcan equivalent of a Human kiss, but rather the Vulcan equivalent of holding hands in public: "The question came up as to what public sign of affection, if any, Sarek and his Human wife would display. Handholding was clearly out, but perhaps finger-to-finger contact of a ceremonial, dignified nature might work. Mark [Lenard] and Jane [Wyatt] took my comments to heart, and came up with the wonderful gesture where Amanda rests her first two fingers lightly upon Sarek’s two fingers. It worked beautifully, and added to the texture of [the episode]." Nimoy also described Vulcan finger-touching as "the beginning of the Vulcan mating ritual", "the Vulcan two-fingers-touching 'embrace'", and "the Vulcan version of foreplay". (I Am Spock, hardback ed., pp. 71-72, 237)”

1) hand holding was clearly out — why? Because handholding would be more intimate for a Vulcan than a human. To convey the same meaning as hand holding Vulcans touch *only their fingertips*

2) read the last sentence then watch the enterprise incident. That is foreplay. Spock is being a James Bond type character and using sexual wiles to distract the female romulan commander. The scene is sexy I’m not sure how this is confusing. Vulcans and romulans have the same basic biology.

3) watch the pon Farr scene in search for Spock. Again. This is a sex scene. Vulcan hand stuff is there to be foreplay and to indicate sex without showing sex.

Obviously not every finger touch is foreplay. There is a range from handholding to more. But it is there to show Vulcan sexuality as alien and different. It is not a 1-1 parallel with human mores. And yea fanfiction embellishes this — if you are writing erotica you exaggerate things. I’m pretty sure adult human men over 40 can’t orgasm that often either but nobody writing posts on that being fanon.

As to why snw doesn’t include it? Idk probably because they have emphasized Spock exploring his humanity not his Vulcan side. Or maybe the authors forgot or think it’s confusing to new audiences. This isn’t a documentary, writers aren’t perfect and we know writers have had shitty work conditions of late. Or maybe in a world free from the hays code they wanted to be spicier. Who knows.

#Vulcan finger touching #has nobody seen tos #or ENT? #like t’pol won’t even eat with her hands it’s considered improper #even like popcorn #Spock #Leonard nimoy #memory alpha #fanfic authors just have fun #hand stuff is sexy #stop insisting tos isn’t sexy and full of innuendo #Star Trek #abrams was a coward from omitting it from the Kelvin movies #snw #star trek: strange new worlds #star trek tos #enterprise

Friendly reminder that Star Trek would not be possible without Jewish people. William Shatner is Jewish, as was Leonard Nimoy. Nimoy literally made the priestly blessing one of the most recognizable hand gestures in media, if not the world.

Live long and let the Jews prosper for five fucking minutes please 🖖🏻

#happy tu bishvat by the way #Star Trek #william shatner #leonard nimoy #Star Trek tos #and that’s not even mentioning the strides for people of color made by gene Roddenberry #I mean two Jewish leads a black woman and a Japanese man just after WWII #like this was incredible for its time #we don’t give it enough credit imo #Jewish #Jewish appreciation

WHY IS SPOCK EATING BACON NOOOOOOOO

THE SPOCK DRIFT IS IN FULL EFFECT

#I understand that this is a new and diffrent Spock #but this is just so flop to me #like HES VEGETAARIAN #THAT WHO HE IS AND IS THE CORE OF THE CHARACTER #EVEN WHEN HE WAS EMOTIONAL IN ALL OIR YESTERDAYS AMD HE HAD MEAT HE WAS LITERALLY SO UPSET #HE LITERALLY SAID “’what is wrong with me?’’ LIKE HE WOULD NOT BE HAPPY ABOUT BACON #LIKE THE REST OF THE EPISODE WAS ALRIGHT AND I LIKE SPOCK’S MOM AND PIKE #ALSO THE CHRISTINE ERICA UHURA ADVENTURE WAS NEET #I DONT EVEN MIND THE LOVE TRIANGLE AT THIS POINT #JUST WHY DOES HE DO THIS #star trek #Snw #star trek snw #spock star trek #Spock #s’chn t’gai spock #spock snw #not even going into Leonard nimoy there are much more well written posts about it but it’s so awful #THEY ARE JUST STRIPPING THE ASPECTS OF SPOCK THAT MAKE HIM SPOCK #being emotional on main 😔

[porcelaintoybox23]

I have thoughts on how Will possibly has a personality disorder or is neurodivergent and how that makes me feel bad for him instead of dislike him because he’s from an era where that would not have been identified and properly treated. He strikes me as a man who wants to connect but is incapable of figuring out how.

I might make that post but my brain is just stuck in this hella uncharitable thought:

Imagine fumbling Leonard Nimoy. Couldn’t be me.

#william shatner #leonard nimoy #I actually feel so bad about it but when in grief meme #I can’t even watch criticism of Will I just pity him

*thinks about Leonard Nimoys multiple soft core porn photography books*

#had one about Jewish femininity #and another for plus sized women #both are over $100 #even bought second hand #Leonard Nimoy #star trek #spock #star trek tos #s’chn t’gai spock

[brittlebutch]

enough fic where Sarek refused to let Amanda raise Spock as Jewish; i want to see Sarek go apeshit on the noisemaker on Purim

#N posts stuff #i know not everyone reads beta canon & so the passages in Spock's World about how Vulcans have a Tangible innate sense #of the Divine and are out in those deserts proliferating religions like candy are not well known in wider fandom BUT. #like. why do you consider religion and tradition incompatible with 'logic'? answer quickly. #even if Leonard Nimoy hadn't steeped Vulcan culture in Judaism there's NO tangible reason why vulcans couldn't convert if they wanted #so if we're saying that Amanda studies/adheres to Vulcan philosophy & cultural norms i'm also going to say that Actually #sarek converted to Judaism before they got married; and he wasn't the first vulcan to do so and he won't be the last #& Spock was raised happily as both bc there's no reason why he couldn't be . anyway.

The source for this is behind a paywall so I can't check how exact the quote is

But "only two minority actors" when Nimoy, Shatner, and Koenig were all Jewish? I wish I had more context here.

#Leonard Nimoy definitely looks Jewish too #even in alien makeup

[spirkbitch]

i don’t love that i could be talking to someone about star trek and we’re both like “wow i love spock so much” but in their head they’re imagining zachary quinto

that just doesn’t sit right with me

#star trek #star trek tos #tos spock #spock #leonard nimoy #or ethan peck #they’re fine #but not spock #same goes for any other character #like don’t even mention chris pine to me #but i’ll defend leonard nimoy to the grave #i can’t pretend to care about other characters as much as i care about spock #love him

[idol--hands]

Lore: “You know I’m right, Spock. C’mon. Please. Let me do this.” Spock: “I will now lay out some very important ground rules. You will do as I say. You will do ONLY as I say.” Lore: “Right. No Problem. How many minutes before the ship explodes again?” . (( IDOL HANDS: 4 minutes. Oh, and Spock...ask his father how those “ground rules” went... ))
