ok but the scene in the Wrath of Khan where kirk is called down to the radiation chamber bc spock is dying is.... SO SO spousal-coded like my god
the tones everyone uses, the stilted silences, the unwillingness or inability to say those words to kirk's face.
the dread in bone's voice. the doctor. that TONE.
"jim you better get down here. hurry."
god it haunts me ever since the first time i watched it! it was just so REAL. and jim knows it. instantly. just like any loving partner would. it's even in the script that bone's tone scares him.
the words no one ever wants to hear. he's about to lose his life partner of 20 years. publically. - and everyone knows it.
he RUNS down to engineering, the way it is filmed it takes so long and it's so horrible like time is stretched out. you dont want to get to the end but you have to - just like jim. and the whole time your heart is pounding just as his is. and the expressions he is met with from bones and scotty... heartbreaking.
like walking into a hospital room where you only need to exchange those horrid expressions.
he is initially angry, barely has any time to register or react before it's over.
the worst kind of goodbye.
IT STILL BREAKS MY HEART CONSTANTLY SCARRED FOR LIFE EVEN THO THEY END UP HAPPILY EVER AFTER OK😭
