1672.1 "The Enemy Within"

Two things about this scene: 1. McCoy is adorable and beautiful healing the crew and being all fatherly with them and I crave more of this so badly 2. This is what Vulcan pornography looks like

I bet that guy was faking being hurt. He just wanted the doctor to caress him with his hiper-futuristic multi-surface cleaner and washing cloth. Look... look how he laughs, the bastard...

Nichelle Nichols (December 28, 1932 - )

“Uhura never had another name during the series. One of the fan writers wrote “Upenda” - which means “peace” in Swahili, I understand — not officially, but in some of their fan writings. And it sort of took hold. But when they were going to do the official history of Star Trek in a published book, the writer called Gene and asked him was “Uhura” her first name or her last name? Gene said, “Well, Nichelle and I never decided.” We always leaned towards it being her last name because it’s taken from the Swahili “uhuru” which means freedom. So it would sort of be like the same as “Freeman.” So he said, “You can make it her last name.” The writer said, “What about her first name? I’ve come up with one in Swahili. It’s Nyota.” Gene said, “I can’t give you that permission because Nichelle and I named her together, and she has rights to that, so you’ll have to call her and get her permission.” So he gave him my number, and he called me and I laughed and was delighted. He said, “I have a name and it’s Nyota.” I said, “That’s quite beautiful. What does it mean?” He said, “It means ‘star’.” I said, “You can have my permission!” So I have since said that her name is Nyota Upenda Uhura, which would mean a free-floating star: “star of freedom and peace”. I like that.” — NICHELLE NICHOLS

quasi-normalcy

You've got to let people in; you've got to lower your defences. It's very important. You need to lower your defences. You need to drop your shields, to let people in. You need to lower your shields, and let people in, and life as you know it will be over. You need to surrender your ship to let people add your biological and technological distinctiveness to their own. You've got to break with futile patterns of behaviour. Like resisting. Resistance is futile.

Make a note in the ship's record: We received a distress call at 0900 hours. Arrived at the vessel's last known coordinates at 21:20. The ship was destroyed. Cause unknown. No survivors.

what about a shapeshifter who’s bad at it. shapeshifter who can never quite get the nose right. shapeshifter who always makes flipped faces because they’re doing adjustments in the mirror. shapeshifter with same face syndrome. shapeshifter who always dips further into the uncanny valley than they want. shapeshifter who can mimic a single celebrity completely perfectly but struggles to recreate anyone else.

mccoy doesn't have a chair on the bridge cuz he's the kinda guy who stands behind the couch to watch a whole 45 minute episode of something while insisting he doesn't need to sit down bc he's just checking out one scene. does this make sense

people think that sci fi is about actors throwing themselves around spaceships but it's also about being bald and goth

Thought a lot about this post and realized there were some critical omissions.

I love that the excuse they came up with to explain their lack of CGI or special effects with Odo was essentially: he is the person équivalent of beige, he's not becoming a T-Rex because he's boring and only cares about wiretapping
