spock , roughly two seconds before doing something so unhinged no one else has even thought of it : good thing i’m a vulcan and i would never do something irrational or illogical lmaoo
I think abt how in Bones’ debut episode they just started off with him and Kirk being such good friends that they call each other pet names as a joke often
decided to watch the man trap randomly (not randomly i wanted to stare at bones in his black shirt) and i decided to write down some silly things i like about this episode.
- kirk calling bones plum after learning it’s the nickname his ex used for him
- janice just standing in the hallway munching on the food she’s bringing to sulu
- janice and sulu being iconic besties
- the silly plant puppet that is clearly shaped like a human hand
- the salt sucking monster that was pretty normal and talkative when disguised as nancy crater becoming strange and off putting when disguised as crewman green
- not silly, i just think that uhura serves face. i wish i could do eye makeup half as well as she does
- BONES IN THE BLACK SHIRT GOOD LORD
- the way kirk cares about bones
- when spock crawls backwards into the bushes
- i wanna know what it was like for crater to live for a year with the salt sucking monster that killed his wife. i’m imagining a wacky roommate comedy
- “WHO ATE ALL MY SALT??”
suspiciously salt shaped bones:
- crater definitely fucked that salt monster
- the sparkly bandage that spock gets for his head
