Star Trek: Enterprise - Season 3 Episode 6 “Exile”
Shout out to my mom who explains my transition as "Having a daughterpillar turn into a Boyterfly". It doesn't erase the fact I was an adorable little girl, and also affirms my gender now. I love my mother.
Star Trek: Enterprise - Season 2 Episode 7 “The Seventh”
It’s a little weird that Grace just assumed meeting Rocky was first contact for both humans and Eridians but I guess it kinda makes sense and is semi plot necessary. but there’s a way funnier version where Grace is like the tenth alien race Rocky has seen. He has no idea humans have never met other sentient aliens & is like “oh yeah the ♫⋆。♪ ₊˚♬s from the ₊˚♬ system should be here soon too yeah they also have a petrova line” and Grace is like “wait hold on what? who??” & Rocky’s like “??? the ♫⋆。♪ ₊˚♬s?? they won space hurling at last year’s interstellar olympics??” and Grace goes “LAST YEAR’S WHAT???”

Luke Skywalker put away his targeting computer to destroy the Death Star so I don't need AI to help me write an email.
So can we talk about the scene in The Search For Spock when Kirk and co. have gotten onto the Enterprise and are about to steal it
And Kirk tells them they can back out and everyone says, of course, hell no
And we get this most adorable album cover of smiles
And then Kirk with this look of utter adoration tells them to get to their stations
And everyone else goes off to a console to actually do something
But Bones just immediately walks over to stand next to the Captain’s chair and offer commentary, because he clearly considers his “station” to literally be that of Kirk’s right-hand man
and it’s where he belongs <3
Okay, but …
… you know, I just gotta say …
Usually McCoy stands on his left and Spock on his right
Kirk has two hands and Bones is responsible for both of them right now
So here’s the interesting thing about where McCoy stands (and I admit, I seized on the “right-hand man” pun without fully thinking about McCoy’s usual stance).
McCoy stands on Kirk’s left side, and the left side of the captain’s chair, most of the time.
But there are some exceptions.
Most of them have something to do with a disruption to the natural order of things (Kirk in the middle, McCoy to his left, Spock to his right). The first kind of disruption is when Kirk isn’t captain at the moment.
When Bones is fighting with the idea of Spock as leader (the middle of The Tholian Web, The Galileo Seven) he tends to stand on his left. It seems to be a visual representation of McCoy refusing to relinquish his traditional spot on Jim’s left side, and thus refusing to accept a change in leadership.
When McCoy is supporting Spock as temporary captain while Jim is in peril (The Doomsday Machine, the end of The Tholian Web, Arena), he stands on Spock’s right side.
The clearest example of this is in Arena, where he starts in his normal spot and moves over when he fully registers what’s happened; he literally invites Spock into the chair, and then moves to Spock’s normal spot.
At the end of The Tholian Web, he’s still to Kirk’s left, but to Spock’s right.
The second type of disruption occurs when Spock is in danger. When Spock is out of the picture, or when McCoy is extremely worried for Spock, he tends to stand on Jim’s right, where Spock should be. This happens both on the Bridge (Operation: Annihilate!)
and elsewhere (A Private Little War).
This also happens when Spock is taken over by an alien entity, such as Kollos (Is There in Truth No Beauty?) You can see McCoy saving Spock’s rightful spot here.
When Spock has been taken over by Henoch (Return to Tomorrow) and is in the captain’s chair, McCoy is desperately trying to save his life: again, standing at his right side.
The best representation of the “Spock in Peril Switch,” though, is in The Immunity Syndrome. After Spock leaves the ship, McCoy stands at Jim’s right - both by the Captain’s chair and everywhere else.
It’s like he’s keeping Spock’s spot warm; he always has hope that Spock will return, and speaks to this perhaps more directly in this episode than any other (until, of course, his speech to Spock’s comatose body in The Search For Spock). “Spock. Is it me, Jim? Am I so sentimental that I just have to keep believing that he’s still alive in that mass of protoplasm?” Even Spock makes a joke that McCoy is out of order, calling him “Captain McCoy.”
But as soon as they find out Spock’s alive and they’re pulling him to safety? Watch McCoy move.
So, yes, upon more thought, that seems to be what Bones is doing here. He’s keeping hope (and Spock) alive, standing in his place, and keeping it safe for him.
And I still have Feelings about it.
Happy 40th anniversary to The Search For Spock (June 1, 1984), one of the movies of all time (and position)

Prompt #1302
"Why are you holding my hand?"
"So I can't lose you again."
Monica had never been shy about holding Karveth's hand in public, not since the moment they'd started dating. As far as she was concerned, people would just have to deal with it, and he in turn admired her defiance. But now, since coming back from Andoria, she reached for him with even greater frequency, threading her fingers with his, or wrapping an arm around him. He had assumed it a pugnacious response to the White Sky's disapproval of their relationship, an aftereffect of their experience, and simply let himself enjoy her nearness and proprietorial air.
He said something to that effect one evening as he walked her home from work, her hand tight in his. To his surprise, she shook her head. "It's not just that," she said. "They took you away from me. And I'm not gonna lose you again."
I think the reasons that parts of Star Trek Enterprise didn't work are fairly obvious, so let's skip over them to the good stuff. This is vibes-based so limited spoilers but suffice to say, if you're willing to put up with about half the episodes frankly failing at Star Trek, what you will get is, to me at least, really worth it:
The crew feels more like modern humans as they are much less altered by centuries of fully automated luxury gay space communism
This absolutely still works as Star Trek because in the best episodes you can feel the writers screaming GROW DAMN YOU, GROW YOU MARVELOUS FUCKED UP MONKEYS
Captain Archer basically has to live with this kind of brilliant awful weight of starting out with this joyful Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations image of meeting aliens and then like 80% of the time it's running into assholes who got warp travel while being like WAY bigger jerks than humans are in the 2150s
Like it's a very specific flavor of melancholy and Scott Bacula did a good job of portraying it slowly weighing him down on a deep spiritual level
This having a profoundly FUCKED relationship with how Vulcans always seemed to think Humans "weren't ready" especially given how very personal the show makes that point for Archer in particular
Sometimes it's legitimately peak Star Trek, especially when it leans into its relationship with TOS more than, say, the TNG era.
Dr Phlox aka it's me, this character is literally me
When Vulcans are being handled correctly they are handled AMAZINGLY. Sometimes it's bad, but when it's good it RULES
Also the relationship between Vulcans and Humans is really developed in interesting ways that feel perfectly in line with what we have known about them outside of Enterprise
This show literally reinvented Andorians in a way that took them out of the TOS back catalogue and made them into an amazing addition to the core canon races
Tellurites get their due? Finally??
Like if this show had been able to have more of its own identity and more time to grow it would be WAY more widely respected than it is now, like if you haven't seen it maybe look for a skip list first, but by all means give it a go, ESPECIALLY if you were fond of TOS.
Edit, OH AND ALSO:
The galaxy without the Federation is portrayed very intentionally as in kind of a dark age, lots of brooding, miserable conflicts and long-standing injustices. Kind of like the other end of the bookcase with Academy.
Sometimes the show truly, truly executes on understanding its own identity and what that means for trek and sometimes that means a powerfully impactful medical mystery episode and sometimes it means Archer is forced to put a mop on his head and apologize for letting his dog piss on a tree in the Sacred Grove.
I barely believe they managed it but the new Zephram Cochrane canon from the TNG movie was threaded into the story flawlessly
I cannot stress enough how much fun Dr. Phlox is. His entire thing of being simultaneously ridiculous, profound, witty, charming, a lil freak, very normal about animal-based medicine, polyamorous and just slightly a dick about it to monogomous species, and every once in a while shockingly badass in a way that fits inside his natural limitations of being a Good Soft Boy is a masterclass in how you get me to bestow the title of The Character on someone
just like there's lots to rant about
