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

[orang3cat75]

I find it a rather silly and more than a little bit upsetting that when Cochrane is talking about how disgusted he is that this other life-form likes him in that way. Kirk looks like he's heard a microagression against him and his inter-species boyfriend

Star Trek - The Original Series

[fresh-bag-of-ham]

look. spirk went canon for the first time when spock went into heat and they fucked wrestled on vulcan and spock's heat broke even though jim only faked his death. then they got divorced and spock tried to purge all emotion from his body. then spock realized that jim is his soulmate and feelings are good actually and they held hands which is vulcan for kissing and spirk went canon a second time. then spock died and they had to regrow his body and put his soul back in it and he had to relearn all his memories and finally he remembered jim and spirk went canon a third time. then they were married for a while and saved some whales, met god, had to deal with spock's terrorist cult-leader brother, space chernobyl happened and the soviet union the klingon empire fell and jim was framed for murder and spock had to find the real killer. then jim got sucked into another dimension and died (don't @ me i refuse to even watch this one) and spock lived for like a hundred more years and then got zapped into an alternate universe where he didn't know anyone and had to play spiritual guide to chris pine and zachary quinto, and then he ALSO died. and that was the end! and we just lived like that! for decades! but NOW, thanks to executive producer bill fucking shatner, old jim got to meet even older spock on the astral plane one last time and DOUBLE HELD HANDS which we can only conclude is vulcan making out with tongue. so yes, for a fourth time, spirk has gone canon

Spock, clearly having some strong emotions about their circumstances: I am being so logical right now.

Kirk, very clearly indulging him: You are the most logical, good job.

Jim, shirtless, covered in blood, behaving illogically:

Spock: he is the other half of my soul, as the poets say

[spirk-trek]

the soft look on spock's face when jim defends him against bigotry has bewitched me. look at this. can anyone hear me

STILES: They'll be back. Not just one ship but with everything they've got. You know that, Mister Science Officer. You're the expert on these people. Always left out that one point. Why? I'm very interested in why. KIRK: Sit down, Mister.

KIRK: Well, here's one thing you can be sure of, Mister. Leave any bigotry in your quarters. There's no room for it on the Bridge. Do I make myself clear?

these moments are some of the most vulnerable we ever see him and they are so explicitly framed as "when nobody's watching" shots (even though there are people in the room). spock feeling pure awe at his friend's loyalty to him. I AM YELLING

It'll never not make me laugh that star trek tos, dune, and the hainish cycle are all science fiction works produced in basically the same time period to drastically different ends and philosophies.

[letsduneit]

dune really explores every possible way someone can die without actually dying. paul's childhood self dies the night his father does. his atreides heritage dies when he seeks revenge. paul himself dies when he drinks the water of life. jessica the wife dies the night leto does. jessica the mother dies when she drinks the water of life. the girl alia could have become dies in the womb. stilgar dies when he becomes a follower. the fremen die when they leave their home to fight paul's war for him. the narrative treats every one of these deaths as a tragedy, as a palpable loss; the ghosts of who these characters were or could have been remain to haunt the narrative long afterwards.
