Sorry I couldn’t post yesterday for startrek day, but my friends and I had to re-watch “Devil in The Dark” and “A Taste of Armageddon”. Here’s a bit of Spirk with some Scotty Appreciation thrown in for flavor.

thinking about how in 'galileo seven' spock is absolutely adamant to ensure that they don't kill the spear guys despite them posing an active lethal threat to both him and his crew, not to mention they already killed one person. and then how in 'devil in the dark' spock spends half the episode demanding and risking mutiny to ensure they don't kill the horta despite it killing 50+ people. and then how kirk reveals he's standing face-to-face with it and spock without HESITATION

Thanks to this beautiful post from @peridotsarelongterm and @cursedtrekedits, I bring you Mother Horta's disco hit, "No Kill I!"

I’m made of silicon, I am petrified

I will protect the children, I remain right by their side

And I have spent so many nights thinking how you did us wrong

And I grew strong

I learned to vaporize your throng

Because you’re here

From outer space

I just crawled in to find you looting all our pergium in haste

I should have melted all the rock, I should have made sure that you’d flee

If I’d have known for just one second that you’d hurt my kids and me

Go on now, go, walk out the door

Just turn around now

Because I’ll liquidate the floor

Weren’t you the one who broke my eggs and made me cry?

You think I’d crumble

You think I’m just a pizza pie?

Oh no kill I, I must survive

For as long as Horta babies hatch you know I’ll stay alive

I’ve got all my life to live

My digestion’s corrosive

So no kill I

I will survive

Hey, hey

It took all the strength I had when you zapped my hump

After I’d stolen your reactor’s circulation pump

Into the Chamber of the Ages, not to hide myself away

And now you say

That you can cure my rainy day

And you see me

Somebody new

I like your Vulcan ears but I am not in love with you

The end of things cannot begin, tomorrow’s vault contains the key

If you break hundreds of my eggs then of your men I’ll burn fifty

Go on now, go

Walk out the door

Just turn around now

Or I’ll irradiate your core

Weren’t you the one who tried to meld and shouted “pain!”

Think I’m a devil

I’ve got a heart and bigger brain

Oh no kill I, I will survive

You may see a big lasagna, I’ll get pasta you to strive

Got eternity to birth, I’m not questioning my worth

So no kill I

I will survive…

Oh…

Okay, you’ll stay

We’ll make a deal

You’ll take the minerals

That we don’t need to make a meal

I’m dancing even though you cannot see my feet

Now that your doctor

Healed me with some concrete

You no kill I, I did survive

And we taught a moral lesson through the magic of sci-fi

Differences don’t mean wrong, that’s the Mother Horta’s song

So no kill I

I will survive

No kill I!

Procyon lorica trivides fayadii is a well known Daukokuan animal, a fairly intelligent nocturnal gatherer and burrower like the racoon, but with three eyes. It takes well to captivity, but recent experience suggests it can react badly to consumption of the plant Deep Ginger, quickly becoming addicted and morphing into a much larger, ravenous form. (AC Farley, from "Devil in the Dark," Pete Rogan's scenario for the sci-fi RPG 2300 AD, the second edition of Traveller: 2300, in GDW's Challenger magazine 36, 1988)

31 Days of Horror: Day 21 - Devil in the Dark

Pretty sure this gif isn't from the movie.

It's slow, it's about estranged siblings and it has way more questions than answers. I don't think it was good enough to leave that many open questions.

It ends right when it could have gotten good. Idk what was even happening besides two brothers who had daddy issues.

You know how the losing side of the Supreme Court publishes a dissent for each case? I wonder if Spock and McCoy do this in their collaborative papers...

Spock publishing an addendum to Emergency Tissue Regrowth in Silicon Cycle Life Forms saying "this is why Dr. McCoy's solution, while working perfectly in practice, is illogical in theory"

Bones dissenting in On the Study and Destruction of Massive Single-Celled Organisms like "Spock was right in the end but here's why I'm still mad about it"

Jim: How can you work closely together, solve the problem, come to the same conclusion, and still dissent?

Bones: just watch us
