Live long and suck it

“the millenium falcon would wipe out the enterprise in seconds” lmao the enterprise is just an innocent science class floating thru space…. all they wanna do is look at some rocks… kiss an alien…. find some space plants….. why would you fight that its not a battleship theyre just nerds…… leave them olone

A friend of mine saw this and brought up some interesting arguments

so, in other words,

[professor-maple-mod]

Pretty much.

[jaegerdelta]

here have some size comparison

[two-punch-man]

Who wins in a fight, a fully staffed Navy research vessel or your local weed man and his best friend in their souped up VW Bus?

So while it’s true that the Enterprise is not as big as people think, that goes double for the Falcon!

A good way of thinking about the relative size is by using a bridge comparison:

The Enterprise bridge has space for 11 people to work, as well as a significant amount of space between stations to move around comfortably:

[Bridge illustration by Tobias Weinmann via here]

And the whole thing fits in the nipple thing up on top of the saucer:

Meanwhile the Falcon (beloved weed bus) has a cockpit that seats 4, with only 2 main operational stations, and zero floor space:

And since Serenity was mentioned too…

Serenity has a bridge more comparable to La Sirena - with 2 stations at the front and quite a bit of floor space.

And for those interested in a visual comparison:

(Boeing 747 for scale as well as the Delta Flyer because Why Not)

TLDR: The Millennium Falcon is pretty dinky, so I propose *true weed bus status* goes to the excellent smuggling ships of Serenity and La Sirena. The Falcon is herby demoted to man on his weed bicycle with his pet monkey and a gun (to be clear the monkey is Solo)

[enigma-the-mysterious]

This is the analysis I am here for

[disease-danger-darkness-silence]

I was gonna say it’s more like a weed guy and his 1986 Honda Civic hatchback.

10/10 website honestly

[vargdottern]

sometimes when watching star trek you'll be like "this is such a stereotypical trope" but then you'll realize that it most probably invented said trope

#my favorite shore leave theory is that the shore leave factories didn't generate anything for spock not only bc he's sufficiently repressed#but because torn shirt kirk is. right next to him already. honestly shirtless kirk beating up his own old bully while spock watches#is. i think this is spock's kink actually. up there with the 'yes...yes...good...good' voyeuristic reaction to kirk inventing a bazooka#spock watching kirk be righteous and brilliant with as little clothes as possible and spock himself getting to be Correct about everything#is a GREAT day for spock already. who needs wish fulfillment#kirk isn't even interested in the chorus girl sexbots only the simulacrum of his steady gf. & real ruth is out of the picture and no threat#also they got to grab each other multiple times it was basically obscene. AND all this started when kirk only wanted a massage from him.#so 'shore leave' in its entirety is pretty much 10/10 no notes ideal day as far as spock's psyche is concerned w/ no need for extra steps @anghraine tags

“Sometimes I get the feeling the only way we could achieve a STAR TREK segment on budget would be to have 60 minutes of Mr. Spock playing kazoo solo as Captain Kirk holds him in his arms while standing in a telephone booth.”   —Robert Justman 1967, one of the original associate producers.

WHY WASN’T THIS MADE, I WOULD  HAVE DEFINITELY WATCHED……

[here-comes-tribble]

honestly what half of TOS feels like

[approximately-infinite]

You know each time I watch this clip I think to myself like wow it really does look like it’s from some vintage gay porno for a second

[grvning]

Always reblog Spock's ''Oh no, he's hot'' scene.

(He's right, of course. And perhaps more than a little bit... Titillated.)

[anghraine]

Reading ST actor memoirs/interviews is wild because it's like

William Shatner: Leonard was so brilliant and thoughtful and striking and intense, you don't even know half of it, he was incredible but also funnier and sillier than you'd guess and so striking and such a genius and kind and not exactly Spock but kind of reserved in the same way, he did define the character, and very caring. They say we used to compete but I don't really remember it because he was just so... I remember laughing together and... anyway

Leonard Nimoy: We did have a unique chemistry. An interesting experience. Bill was like. cocaine

idk it looks like the original scene to me

[cursedtrekedits]

i think i made a non-zero number of people believe this was a real scene to do spot-the-differences with. i just don’t know what a nurse’s hat looks like

[here-comes-tribble]

what do you mean this is not an original scene

[stardustcleaningguy]

i want some of whatever fujoshi crack was being passed around while this was being written

In the 1970’s Gene Roddenberry sold Star Trek merchandise through his company called Lincoln Enterprises. They sold these film clips (also known as film trims) for $1 for 8 strips. The strips were 1-3” long and had 1-3 images on them. They sold clips of all the characters, but, I bought mostly McCoy. Also sold were “grab bags” which included characters, planets, props, action & production slate scenes and bloopers. These clips were literally cut off the original film and were slated to be discarded. Word is that Gene scooped them off the floor/out of the trash and sold them (more or less under the table). At that time, Paramount didn’t realize the cash cow that was Star Trek, so turned a blind eye to Gene’s doings.

Back then, I put my favorites into slide holders and sent them to be developed into photos for 35 cents. These were some of the first treasured photos I had of McCoy/DeForest.
