I want every ad on the subway to be this one. And then I want this also posted elsewhere. And then I want people who don’t use earbuds or headphones while listening to music or watching their videos in public to have their phones explode in their hands and faces. Or they get shunned and banned from public spaces.
Or...
Don't you just love when you're watching TOS and Spock looks over his shoulder at Jim all fierce and sultry like:
And Jim is looking back at him like he's having a holy moment like:
And it happens on a daily basis?
Anyway, this is my doodle paying homage to this phenomenon.
I've dubbed this piece "How the F**k Did They Get Any Work Done (On The Bridge)?"
Featuring Spock's smokey eyed over shoulder smoulder and Jim's heart eyes.
i wonder what it was to like to one day show up for a script reading and meeting for star trek season 2 and the writers and director are like, "hey, for episode one we have this really interesting story... but for this to work, have you tried emulating being in heat like a rabid animal?"
What has to be pointed out here (a bit regretfully) is that in 1967 there'd never have been a meeting at which the actors would've been given a chance to voice an opinion about whether they were okay with the concept of a script. That wasn't how such things were done then. (And no question, it's delightful that things have moved on a little bit from that state.)
What did happen with "Amok Time" were a couple of drafts, with supporting and/or instigating memos, that were written before anyone who'd act in the script would ever see it. Some detail about the beginnings of that process are here, supported by Roddenberry's own (typewritten, God bless it) copy of Ted Sturgeon's original outline for the episode.
I own the Amok Time story outline Ted Sturgeon submitted to Gene Roddenberry. It’s a fascinating look at the process of creating an episode
Just a casual reminder of something that (when considering process) nowadays gets in the way of a lot of analysis of early Trek: not only is tomorrow not yesterday, but neither is today. 😏
(...And yet: imagine the look[s] on Nimoy's face at the first table reading of shooting draft 1...) 😅
Have you seen spirk highlighted in red? When you like the post, it sends an arrow through the heart! That's sweet of Tumblr to do. I've also seen destiel, ineffable husbands and byler in red. Could be more out there!
jim kirk’s snapchat account though, it would be amazing
him posing with the gorn like “aint easy being green” and one of his salad making a frowny face with tomato eyes and a red pepper slice mouth all “thanks a lot BONES”
and then a series of him posing in his tight red exercise pants sent to spock’s account with text like “SPOCK WHAT DO YOU THINK” different angle ”ARE THEY REGULATION STANDARD” another angle ”TOO SMALL OR JUST RIGHT?” from behind “OFFICIAL FIRST OFFICER THOUGHTS?”
sometimes i wonder why spirk of all things was my first, intense, obsessive hyperfixation as a kid but like…
they were really doin allat. why are you grabbing my tits captain ?
if anything could have broken into my blissful unknowing of my own homosexuality it really had to be these two. as it was for my foremothers and the dawn of fandom and so it shall be
"As it was for my foremothers and the dawn of fandom and so shall it be"
Amen
"STAR TREK" S1E22 - "Space Seed"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA respectfully
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA <3
FUCK
Don't go breaking my heart
someone please help that man, he is so in love and wound up so tight about it that he literally can't talk about anything else (SOUND UP)
"STAR TREK" S1E15 - “Shore Leave”
Spock: 😏
Kirk: 🤨
Ever since I saw the Strange New World episode Lost in Translation I was being driven insane by how familiar the tune playing in the background was.
To me it sounded like a jazz version of The Beatles cover of the song Till There Was You.
So I looked to see if anyone else was also stimming out over this and lo and behold:
It seems a lot of folks came to the same conclusion. Your thoughts?
Anyway, that was driving me wild for quite some time because technically, it's the song that was playing when Kirk and Spock formally met. ;)
Seems the verdict is Til There Was You. If anyone has any other info, feel free to jump in!
If you haven't heard the tune in question, here is the version I am familiar with:
It is also one of my all-time favourite love songs, and it was the first song that I learned to play on bongos as a child.❤️
Lyrics below!
On my way to watch the episode again!
Fascinating.
I could listen to him talk forever 💙🖖

Master Post for my Season-3-to-TMP Spirk Breakup Meta Analysis Series
People complain all the time about the odd, out-of-character writing in Season 3 of Star Trek TOS. They also complain that there is no canon explanation for the reason why Spock left Kirk and Starfleet to attempt kolinahr by the start of TMP. Why are these two things both so weird?
But, consider this: What if these two weird things are related? What if the odd actions are not out of character at all? What if Season 3's subtext leads directly to Spock's abandonment of the life he built in Starfleet, and more specifically, to his separation from Kirk by the start of TMP?
What if we're actually watching a painful behind-the-scenes Spirk breakup unfold in real time?
A few months ago, before I had ever seen TMP, I watched "Requiem for Methuselah" for the first time and the vibes were so weird that I started to dissect the subtext by writing my way through it. And the subtext kept getting deeper, episode by episode. And so I kept writing about it. And then I finally saw TMP, and I suddenly realized that, not only was I right, these things are all connected. Season 3 and TMP are not actually doubly weird; they are two related weirds that cancel each other out. And, even better, the pain and angst of Season 3 eventually leads to a happy ending in TMP!
To create this series, I wrote over 20,000 words on the subject in the space of a few weeks. (Thank you, hyperfixation.) Recently, a couple of the posts are making the rounds again. People keep reblogging segments of the series, so apparently there is an audience larger than my weirdass self and the void I am shouting into.
So, for your pleasure and convenience, I have reassembled the full series here in chronological order. Some of them are short, silly posts, and others are lumbering behemoth posts with tons of subtext to comb through and mull over. Enjoy the journey with me.
Rewatched tos ep "where no man has gone before" & I'm obsessed with the inconsistent early Spock writing from before they decided how Vulcans work. Watching Spock suggest they just fucking kill Gary Mitchell & showing up with his big fucking gun (phaser rifle) had me hollering. Spock you can't do that
Spock you're a pacifist 😭 SPOCK
If I saw my beloved captain being targeted, I too, would logic my way into using a phaser rifle. For the logical reasons of course. Murder. Logically.
Beloved captain in danger? Logical murder? Check.
