STAR TREK // S2E9 Metamorphosis

Companion, what you offer is not continuation, it is non-existence.

Humans are Vulcan catnip, I swear to Q.

Spock and Kirk: No need to explain. In any universe they are drawn together and Spock abandons any sense of rationality if his Captain is hurt or just looks at him sweetly.

Sarek and Amanda: Admitted he married Amanda for love, not logic. Then made Spock.

Solkar and Zefram: Ten seconds off the spaceship and Solkar decides to do the diplomatic thing and make out with this human.

Surak and Archer: Archer was given Surak's katra without his knowledge and when T'Pau attempted to extract him Surak clung to the mental doorframe because he was safer here and he liked it better here, despite the logic of being housed in a nice logical Vulcan mind instead.

Solok and Sisko: Solok abandoned all pretense of logic when he won a wrestling match with a young Sisko and became so obsessed with him that he taught an entire Vulcan Starfleet crew how to play baseball just so he could beat Sisko again.

T'Pol and Trip: T'Pol became so attached to the Enterprise crew that she gave up her military career with Vulcan to continue to serve as First Officer, and to keep close with her boyfriend.

Tuvok and Janeway: Tuvok is fiercely loyal to Janeway, to the point that he will go along with her illogical plans just because he has such great faith in her.

Soval and Forrest: Soval respected Forrest but when Forrest died saving Soval it uprooted what loyalty he had left to the Vulcan High Command (who he then realised was corrupt) and he went rogue trying to save Vulcan from itself. (Really watch for the nose flare when he talks to Archer next to Forrest's casket, that Vulcan is pissed.)

On April 5th 2063, within minutes of the Vulcan ambassadors’ arrival to Earth, the Wikipedia page for The Fermi Paradox was edited to include the words “was��, not “is”.

OK so we know that Spock is directly descended from Solkar, the Vulcan who made first contact with humans.

Well, what if he's also descended from/related to Zefram Cochrane on Amanda's side?

Alternatively, what if James T. Kirk is a descendant/relative of Zefram Cochrane?

i know that there’s been many blue eyed actors who have played vulcans, but i’d like to think that the blue eye mutation just doesn’t exist for them. there are no blue eyed vulcans. all brown, actually. maybe a little hazel as a treat.

when they first saw zefram cochrane they said fascinating with .2% more vigor than the standard intonation

What I think should've happened in that TOS episode where Jim and Spock meet Zefram Chochrane who's having what he thought was a casual interspecies bromance as he's used to but turns out to be just straight romance, written as a crude script because I'm lazy:

Spock: great-uncle Zefram. I did not think I would ever meet you but I am glad to have been wrong. I am sure making your aquaintance will be interesting.

Chochrane: fuck you mean uncle? I don't have siblings and my parents sure weren't in a state to make any when I left.

Spock: did Solkar not inform you of his decision to make you an honory member of his clan?

Chochrane: unless I hit my head a little harder than I thought when I landed here, he sure as hell didn't. So, what, you're related to Solkar?

Spock: indeed. I am his great-grandson, to be exact.

Chochrane: way to make a guy feel old. I didn't know Solkar saw me as a brother.

Spock: the term brother does not quite convey what his decision is meant to signify but it is the closest approximation in your language.

This shower thought has been brought to you by "Oh shit, my shampoo's almost empty and I don't think we have another bottle! Goddammit."

Happy First Contact Day! Only 40 more years until Zefram and Solkar's slutty, slutty first meeting

and while we're at it i still think it's crazy that in "metamorphosis" when the guys see cochran they don't immediately say "holy shit, that guy looks just like zefram cochrane." not even that they assume it's him since they think he's dead. they would all know what he looks like! there are statues! there'd be portraits of him everywhere!

like imagine you go on a scientific outing to the desert and albert einstein's doppleganger is just chilling there. i'd be like "dude...?"

If you think about it technically... first contact from a Vulcan POV would be effectively the 'aliens made them do it' trope.

post-first contact, i imagine Solkar had a very awkward conversation with his coworkers (that are definitely not his friends because vulcans TM don't have 'friends')

"The things we have to do for first contact smh 🙄 "

"Solkar, we literally eye-witnessed your emotionalism"

"Explain."

"To quote Terran vernacular, you were 'down bad'."

"This is a falsification, I was merely working within the parameters for successful first contact-

"It was definitely a successful 'first contact', in this you are correct Solkar."

"..."

Alternate history where Zefram offers a handshake and Solkar goes in for a hug & they both emerge from that encounter thinking they chose the least homoerotic interaction.

Before becoming an actor, Glenn Corbett served in the Navy. Shortly after his release, like many young sailors, Corbett posed nude for Bob Miser.

As an actor he costarred in a number of westerns with John Wayne. But he may be best known for playing the role of Zefram Cochrane (the inventor of the Warp drive) in the episode “Metamorphosis” during the second season of Star Trek TOS.

S2 Episode 9 (Metamorphosis) Wait wait wait. I'm watching this episode on April 5th, this is so special (I know this won't be posted till days later but holy crap):

- I like hows there's just a mission that somehow requires the captain, first officer, and head medical officer to be on the same shuttle escorting one person

- I will not blame McCoy for anything (sorry. not sorry actually)

- They always take the Galileo

- Oooh pretty lighting

- "I'm not imagining you am I?" "We're real enough." Kirk what kind of fucking answer is that?

- "Food to a starving man. All of you." Saying this after he just shook Spock's hand is crazy…

- They’re conferring

- So the companion wants.. companions?

- SPOCK ITS BEHIND YOU

- The companion snap crackle popped the shuttle and Spock

- “It attacked you?!” Bones is shocked. “I’m not a scientist or a physicist, Mr Spock.” He says this with a smile and it’s such a moment between them

- This episode is like “if you love me let me go” and it’s such a deep love between them and holy shit

- hey siri what’s a “Judas Goat”?

- THEY FUCKING SHOT HIM

- McCoy watching his boyfriends die and begging the companion to stop

- “It isn’t your fault.” “I’m in command, Bones. It makes it my fault.” “How do you fight a thing like that?” “Maybe you’re a soldier so often that you forget you were also trained to be a diplomat.” Bones advice!

- Okay it just violently goes back to Scotty’s log. YESS UHURA AND SULU CONTENT!

- “It’s a big galaxy, Mr. Scott.” “Aye…”

- McCoy’s just standing there looking pretty next to Spock and Kirk in this episode, isn’t he?

- “The idea of male and female are universal constants, Cochrane.” Bull fucking shit, mate

- “You’re not a pet. You’re not a specimen kept in a cage. You’re a lover.” “I’m a whut!?”

“For all these years, I’ve let something as alien as that crawl around inside me, into my mind, my feelings…” So he wasn’t upset when he thought he was being treated as a caged animal/pet by a male or non gendered entity, but as soon as it’s a woman who’s in love with him... (its fair that he’s freaking out but like…what?)

- The boyfriend’s explaining why this guy should continue to date the cloud of sparkles. McCoy and Spock can agree on smt at least

- “No. I- I don’t want to die. I’ve been good at my job. But… I’ve never been in love. Never. What kind of life is that? Not to be loved. Never to have shown love. And he runs away from love.” This is such a heartbreaking and beautiful scene from the Ambassador

- “Companion, do you love the man?” “I do not understand.” “Is he important to you? More important than anything? Is he… as though he were apart of you?” SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP WHAT IS THIS

- “But you can’t really love him. You haven’t the slightest knowledge of love— the total union of two people. You are the companion, he is the man. You are two different things. You can’t join. You can’t love. You may keep him here forever. But you will always be separate. Apart from him.”

- Jim just poured his fucking heart out and we know it was about them I’m dying and crying about this

- “What did you hope to gain by that, Jim?” “Try to convince her of the hopelessness of it. Love sometimes expresses itself in sacrifice. I thought maybe if she loved him… She’d let him go.” Oh my the parallels of it. This is about Spock and McCoy. He wants to be with them, but he knows he can’t let them go and so he sacrifices himself for them. Leave me alone in this hole of misery and self deceit.

- Loneliness, oh god the loneliness. Her eyes show so much in this scene

- I love when bones stands there like a NPC or lego character (oh my god I want a Bones Lego figurine)

- I’m just going to say it. I think this guy is bisexual. And it’s not just because of the colour of the sky.

- “As long as you grow old together.” You know who grows old together…. I’m fucking going I’m going off. Spock, McCoy, and Kirk grow old together (is what I’m getting at)

What.. what happened to me. This episode.. bye…

(Edit: I know canonically they’re not dating but I like to take all the evidence I can to support it. So if some of this stuff is a bit nonsensical… I’m sleep deprived as shit and it’s finals)
