28 episodes in and I still fucking gasped when Kirk put his hand on Spock's shoulder and analysed his ears. Not because it particularly surprised me, but because it was so casually intimate.
His hand slides, just slightly, down Spock's arm.
He leans in as he crosses over from one ear to the other.
This ship is truly something special, and if I wasn't desperately avoiding spoilers I'd immediately fall down the rabbit hole of production timelines and interviews and analysis articles and every last scrap of fan theories and fanfiction I could find.
