So, there’s this one episode where the crew of the Enterprise meets Captain Ahab and battle a giant robotic lamprey in space, right.
The ep is actually REALLY REALLY good, i was so surprised! Or maybe i just have a total hate-on for completely maniacal officers who make bad decisions under pressure. (Colonel Tigh, anyone? *snaps teeth*)
Anyway, I will not spoil, except to say that the Giant Robot Lamprey is awesome, and also it spits up lava! and it is a great ep for anyone interested – the Doomsday Machine, ep 2×06.
However, I cannot pass up the chance to say that it is REALLY REALLY ADORABLE how dependent Kirk and Spock are on each other in this ep, and how much complete and total faith they place in the other one to always have each other’s backs no matter how tight a situation they get in.
The soulmate bonding, it is so strong in this ep!!!! Kirk is SO CUTE too with his complete confusion when Spock gives up the command of the ship and you can tell he’s totally flummoxed about what’s been happening but he hasn’t lost any of his faith in Spock because Spock would never do anything to jeopardize the Enterprise, and the Enterprise is to Kirk as the Pearl is to Jack Sparrow, savvy. This is the first time I have seen how Spock and Kirk function as a complete unit, outside of fanfic I mean. KIRK JUST KEEPS ASKING “Spock? Spock? WHY AM I NOT TALKING TO SPOCK?” and he sounds so confused and lost and it’s SO SWEET, and also tense, because the whole scene is tense, and kind of awesome. I mean. for Star Trek. D:
And if I were actually in this fandom i would write some sort of completely redundant meta about Spock and duty, which, thank God I will never be in this fandom, because not only would it be 39 years too late, but it would be star trek meta and i would sooner DIE.
instead, have a picture of kirk and spock looking all pillars of supporty, facing forward, becoming one wherever they go.
This is the first ep that left me wanting to write fic. Uh. not that I would ever write fic because i would never ever join this fandom. and anyone looking at my delicious can just LOOK THE OTHER DIRECTION.
uh. i told someone “i burn, t’pau” today.
and i told someone else that what they were saying was not logical. D: and i nearly told someone else that i grieved with thee AND UH.
This man is not sexy, this man is not sexy, this man is not sexy, this man will never be sexy.
So. The bad news is that my favorite local used bookstore is closing. The good news is, 40% discounts on books!
…………….the bad news is -
- i hate myself and want to die.
can you buy some of these books for me and send them?? ;*)
Don’t be so ashamed. It’s perfectly natural.
