when bashir asked dax out in the first episode and sisko was like "i wonder if he'd be interested if you were still some old man" What no one realised is the answer was probably yes

I’m thinking about Carol Freeman and Jack Ransom.

I’m thinking about how the differences between them make them a stronger command team.

A captain who cares deeply what other people think of her. A first officer who lets other people think he’s dumb if it helps them bond as a crew and get the job done.

A captain who minored in Archaic Technology at the academy, eager to solve problems with her hands and her mind. A first officer whose whole-body physical training regimen is so intense that he impressed a Klingon with his strength.

A captain who is happily married … and deeply worried about her wayward daughter. A first officer who makes a pass at just about anyone … and is able to help the captain’s wayward daughter despite and because of their similar stubbornnesses.

A captain who spoke often about wanting a promotion. A first officer who didn’t seem motivated by rank, yet earned his promotion to become a captain himself, two officers he worked to help—including the no-longer-wayward daughter—his new first officers.

Shared values of tenacity and love for Starfleet. He’ll encourage her to run up the steps. She’ll entrust him with the people she cares about.

I just … I really like their dynamic. Balance through differences and mutual appreciation.

Universal star trek fic reading experience is going "He would not fucking say that" then scrolling up to the top of the fic, see it's tagged as AOS and going "Ohhhh he would fucking say that"

"Didn't evoke an emotional response" skill issue. Some of us found Ode to Spot extremely poignant and sweet Geordi!!

I find it so funny that having Pike wear a black undershirt with the green wrap shirt implies that, it is the proper way to wear the uniform and that Kirk is wearing it like that for slut whore reasons

Why don’t we let the guy whose every plan could be reasonably construed as an abstract suicide attempt take a crack it

On the clock but I'm really thinking about how Jim and Spock hold this frame for like 10 whole seconds after Spock explains what Pon Farr is. Spock is visibly shaken and Jim desperately wants to find some way to comfort him or say something reassuring but doesn't know how.

And then immediately after this he tells Spock he won't put any of this in his official records and then proceeds to break direct Starfleet orders to save Spock's life.

GOD this is why people are insane about them 59 years later why are they like this!!!!

i feel like an often overlooked downside to 10-episode seasons and the death of the "monster of the week" format is that we get way less whump variety nowadays. used to be that there'd be dozens of opportunities for your fave to get punched or kidnapped or hypnotized or what have you. these days if it doesn't fit into the main plot, it just doesn't happen. this is a tragedy. we should be protesting.
