Honorary mention: Where No Man Has Gone Before (I knew I was sold on Jim at "Above all else, a god needs compassion")

if i had a penny for everytime star trek wrote an incredibly autistic coded character, who happened to also be gay for the most bisexual character imaginable, id have 5 pennies, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that its happened 5 times, right?

forget the guys who pitched amok time I wanna meet the guys who pitched wolf in the fold. “yeah the plot of this episode is that they go to planet fuck nasty and Scotty gets addicted to killing women. but don’t worry it’s not actually him it’s a weird alien ghost manifestation of Jack the Ripper possessing the body of a little bald man with a funny voice.” genius. misunderstood. ahead of their time. truly terrible episode 0/5 stars but full points for trying

#literally a masterpiece but also the worst thing I’ve ever watched #star trek #star trek tos #montgomery scott #wolf in the fold

I am once again thinking about how in The Naked Time, Spock has an emotional breakdown after contracting the virus and cries about the regret he feels for not loving his human mother vs his shame he feels for his ongoing friendship with Kirk, but before he contracts the virus, Spock finds LOVE MANKIND written on the wall. And it's been written and discussed to death about what it means, I know this, but it's telling that Spock not only loves in spite of his Vulcan upbringing and continued adherence to their customs but that he holds regret and shame deep down inside because the love is still there, regardless.

Whereas Kirk likewise has his virus-induced breakdown over the opposite: his self-inflicted pressure to not love an individual, either due to fear of distraction from duty, losing his position as captain due to the ethical conundrum of "How can a captain date one of their crew?" (no, I do not know the details of how Starfleet manages crew relationships, but I'm assuming rank is an issue, especially where captains are concerned), or even the unspoken taboo of the show's production era, his sexual orientation, hence his focusing on the ship as the only safe and constant outlet for his love. But after this, Kirk finds SINNER REPENT written on the wall, as if to say his altruism isn't the full truth, as if what he desires is what he denies even with the virus lowering his inhibitions.

And like my god. What foils to each other! How damned telling the literal writing on the wall is for them! I am going to eat my fucking sweater!

#trekposting #star trek tos #the naked time #spirk #hello trek fandom i have watched this ep 4 times already and each time i become more unhinged #it's just any time i think about the words they find on the wall i want to scream #if the writers didn't intend on spirk what is all this then #sinner repent for what??? #trek meta

Watching Star Trek TOS - So much is happening AAAH

The Corbomite Maneuver

This episode is about Jim, Bones and Spock bantering and Jim & Spock smiling at each other and I'M HERE FOR IT

The fact that Jim is walking from sickbay to his quarters half naked? I know you only have eyes for your ship darling but that's not everyone's case, put those away

"I'll keep that in mind Mr Bailey, when this becomes a democracy" The guy got his ass handed to him twice in less than 5 minutes

THIS EXCHANGE "And if you're asking the logical decision to make..." "No I'm not" "Has it occurred to you that there's a certain inefficiency in constantly questioning me on things you've already made up your mind about?"

"I was curious to see how they appear" "Yes of course you were" aka Jim all tense but taking time to be soft w/ Spock

"A very interesting game, this poker" aka Spock admiring Jim

"And you, Mr Bailey. The face of the unknown, I think I owe you a look at it."

Jim succeeding because he fulfills his duty which is to seek out and contact alien life & he won't leave a distress signal unanswered

After all the tension, a fun and optimistic ending!

I am: delighted

.

The Menagerie

Obv I knew it was gonna end well but I was STRESSED

Spock having a secret plan? Inventing a transmission?? Out of loyalty and friendship to his former captain???

McCoy & Jim being so sure of Spock's loyalty to him bc he's Vulcan

Spock hijacking the Enterprise!!!

The look on Jim's face when the computer doesn't respond to his voice command oh my god i can't

OH SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK

SO MUCH TENSION

They have changed uniforms for the court-martial lol appreciate their fashion sense

The commodore trying to get Spock to give up command of the ship by telling him he's invited death penalty onto Jim! The first thing that makes Spock react! My heart!!

"Captain, Jim, please don't stop me, don't let him stop me"

SO DRAMATIC

Jim saying "Guilty... as charged" OMIGOD

THEIR FINAL DIALOGUE AND JIM'S SMILE!!!

I am: overjoyed

(Ok Jim's a very understanding man (and/or very much in love) with Spock but the "mutiny - hijacking - court-martial - everythings goes back to normal" sequence would undermine both their authority before the crew, I can't believe there is 0 follow-up on that lmao)

#Star Trek #Star trek TOS #watching TOS #The Corbomite Manoeuver #The Menagerie #These episodes were so goood I was thrilled!! #it gives him! emotional security! #I've written a 2k fic following the menagerie already bc i needed a follow-up on Jim & Spock

Star Trek - Strange New Dumb Comics #75

Guess who's rewatching TOS for the gazillionth time ?????

#TO BE FAIR it's been 3 years since my last rewatch #actually my longest time without a tos watch lmao #and I was going to play episodes I watched less times but I gave in to the weakness and started with Journey to Babel #star trek #star trek fanart #tos #strange new dumb comics #star trek incorrect quotes #jim kirk #spock #mccoy #spirk #captain kirk #leonard mccoy #bones #star trek the original series

[flying-ham]

I laugh every time I remember that kirk’s brother was just william shatner in a mustache in tos

#I don’t watch snw but it’s lame that they didn’t just have stefan Salvatore w a mustache #star trek #star trek the original series #star trek tos #jim kirk #james t kirk #sam kirk #william shatner

[jim-kirks-bubble-butt]

he’s so beautiful

#throwing yourself ass-first at your enemies is now the only way to fight #what a man #he’s perfect #star trek #star trek tos #james kirk #jim kirk #james t kirk #tos #first time watching

[hypertechnica]

straight up refusing to acknowledge star trek: generation’s existence. it didn’t happen

you mean to tell me, after an entire series and SIX movies dedicated to the triumvirate found family, kirk immediately goes missing, and then dies alone 80 years later because of time travel nexus bullshit?

bones and spock never see him again??? ever???

no. kirk, spock, and bones retire and grow old together. they’re married. they have 2 cats and love to play 5d chess with multiverse time travel. that’s the ONLY canon i accept

#deforest kelley was right #they should have just LET THEM RETIRE!!! LET THEM BE HAPPY #IDEC BRO. IM NOT WATCHING THAT MOVIE #star trek #star trek tos #spock #james t kirk #jim kirk #s'chn t'gai spock #bones mccoy #leonard mccoy #mcspirk #spirk #mckirk #spones #i’ll admit the premise has tragic spones potential. but does bones even appear in that movie #i checked he is not in that movie. we don’t even get to see him react to kirk going missing #a travesty. a dishonor #not even getting into kirk’s dream nexus illusion. i can’t deal with this #rainspeak

I've been in love with how physical all of the items in Star Trek are. The large boards of colorful looking buttons and levers

The cartridges everyone has for ids and holding information in voice memos

The movable screens and the small viewfinders the navigagors use it all is so practical, real to me.

Even simple tools we see only once having such a physical design makes me smile

I dont really know where I'm going with all this but I guess with so much of life turning digital, everything touch based on a flat screen, nothing to grab nothing to turn, no tactile sensations. It's wonderful seeing people decades ago see the future full of what we lack now and what seems a lot of use yearn to see, to be brought back.
