I understand why the t'hy'la footnote is the most well known bit of the Motion Picture novelization, I really do, but I simply cannot abide the also unbelievably gay quote of "Theirs had been the touching of two minds which the old poet's of Spock's home planet had proclaimed as superior even to the wild physical love which affected Vulcans every seventh year during pon farr," languishing in relative obscurity

star trek tos: a summary

[VD: A Star Trek TOS compilation of Kirk and Spock sharing sweet or suggestive moments, set to Wii music. Scenes from both the show and the movies are featured, and they’re always followed by side characters and Enterprise crew members watching on and seeming amused, pleased, or vaguely judgemental and aware. The compilation ends on Bones and Kirk walking away and Spock saying, “Jim, be careful.” Kirk looks pleased, while Bones pointedly replies, “We will.” Spock arches a dramatic eyebrow. End VD]

hey guys do u think it meant something when paul wesley was reading the spirk kolinahr break up comic in his introductory hello i am ur new captain photoshoot

It’s insane that in the Star Trek universe many people seem in agreement that there’s just something different about replicated food compared to naturally made and prepared food, yet it’s totally normalized to use a transporter, which essentially uses the same technology to destroy your body and materialize a new version of you somewhere else.

[trek-tracks]

This has always felt very real to me, because if we’re good at one thing as a society, it seems to be focusing on and complaining about the relatively meaningless small differences while Studiously Ignoring the real ethical and existential questions that go along with our major conveniences. We may not entirely grow out of that, even in a utopian future.

A trick I learned from an old friend. Live long and prosper.

[jennelikejennay]

I swear, every time, EVERY time we get to talking about how the original Star Trek was progressive in some ways, a dozen people show up to go HOW CAN IT BE PROGRESSIVE IF WOMEN IN SHORT DRESSES??!!

Like. The coding of clothing changes throughout time. Many people felt, with the rise of hemlines from the floor within a single lifetime, that people of the future would barely wear clothes at all. Today, for some reason, it's more acceptable to reveal cleavage than legs, whereas miniskirts were everywhere at the time.

But the most important thing (I say to you, gripping your head in both my hands, tears in my eyes) is that the actresses chose those miniskirts, liked those miniskirts, hiked up those miniskirts, because that was what they wanted to wear.

Clothing does not, by its nature, have a moral value. I thought I left that behind when I quit going to church. Instead I'm more concerned about the agency of the woman wearing the outfit. She can be topless or she can wear hijab, if she's genuinely not pressured one way or the other, I'm happy for her!

But what is not freaking progressive is pointing at a woman in a minidress and going BAD BAD PROBLEMATIC I SEE LEGS.

[jennelikejennay]

There is a man in a minidress in the pilot of TNG! They felt it would repair the sexism people were reading into those outfits if it was clear it was a uniform option for both men and women. That in the future, we wouldn't have sharp lines between men's and women's clothes and it would be purely a matter of taste.

However, they didn't end up doing it again and the "skant" passed out of use until Lower Decks, when Boimler has one he says is required for a formal event.

But hey! Dresses on men are canon.
