Started From The Bottom

The fact of the matter is, both Zachary Quinto and Ethan Peck are objectively attractive men but they look stupid as fuck in Spock hair & makeup, while Leonard Nimoy somehow becomes even hotter with pointed ears and a bowl cut. This is the universe's way of telling us only Nimoy is the true Spock vessel

#same as hell duh

I have so many thoughts but I at least want to address the "for the new unicorn" note. because first of all it's so incredibly gratifying for izzy to finally be accepted into a community. it was shown before that the crew cares for him in some way but it was the first time he really saw that. that he isn't useless and alone, that he still has a place on the ship. even more so the crew WANTS HIM to be on the ship. and also that they want him to embrace his disability which doesn't make them think any less of him.

but also the choice of words. because inherently it rings queer, unicorn as a symbol of queerness. and even if it may have a negative sound when you use it differently here it is extremely positive. izzy is not only accepted to the crew, he's also accepted to the queer community, to the family. the unicorn on the revenge was also the one that was leading the ship, so one can argue that they want him to take that role in their dynamic.

and you can see that he does so immediately. he puts himself together and starts helping the crew. he's still bitchy but no longer violent and cruel. he helps stede and lucius immensely because that is what he does now. he's part of the family. twat.

I’ve only got three possible reactions to watching a TOS episode:

“I can’t believe this aired” (the worst plot you’ve ever seen on tv)

“I can’t believe this aired” (a piece of media so beyond its time and still relevant to today’s discussions, that I’m surprised it didn’t got censored at the time it went on air)

“I can’t believe this aired” (gay as fuck)

star trek season 1 review so far

ep 1: salt creature just wanted some salt bro wtf

ep 2: captain kirk absolutely fails @ parenting overpowered autism teen

ep 3: coolest eye effect i’ve ever seen. vaguely adam & eve reminiscent of adam sucked and eve was pretty chill in the end
