STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES 2.03 “The Changeling”
Happy Birthday Leonard Nimoy! (b. 26th March 1931) "I think about myself as like an ocean liner that's been going full speed for a long distance, and the captain pulls the throttle back all the way to 'stop', but the ship doesn't stop immediately, does it? It has its own momentum and it keeps on going, and I'm very flattered that people are still finding me useful."
I adore that riverside iowa just decided one day that they were where kirk was born and the writers were just like fuck it why not
you know what this means chat
fuuuuck that is my circus. are those…? yep… those are my monkeys….. goddammit.
spock when jim got home from his date with edith keeler
I'd like to imagine that this is how Mccoy would be in a Spirk fanfic or AU
Bones: *In beginning, encouraging Kirk and Spock to talk to the other about how they feel*
Kirk and Spock finally do confess they start getting lovey-dovey.
Bones: *Literally any time spirk cuteness happens in front of him*
(But instead of salad it's his work or alcohol)
This and for some reason the captain keeps on loosing
james tiberius kirk and his crew that definitely gets drunk and plays a game called do your best dramatic captain kirk impersonation
Day 28: The (TOS) Triumvirate be like
Store Worker: „Would a Mr. Spock please come to the front desk? “
Spock, arriving at the desk: „Hello, is there a problem? “
Store worker: points to Kirk and McCoy
Store Worker: „I believe they belong to you? “
Kirk and McCoy, simultaneously: „We got lost :(“
Spock: „I didn't even bring you guys here with me-“
Me before watching Star Trek tos:
What even is K/S? It can't be that great, right?
Me five minutes in:
Oh dear- I might have underestimated them...
Oh, wow-
New star trek show but, instead of the usual federation/starfleet premise every episode is from the point of view of several non-starfleet space explorers in where they get trapped in some bizarre situation while interacting with the federation.
Punched into the friendzone
It's giving:
Op you've meet a genius
I work retail, and yesterday I pulled up a customer's rewards account to see his name listed as "Jim Kirk."
I said, "Cool name."
"Thanks," he said. "Want to see my ID?"
He pulled out a Star Fleet identification card with a picture of Captain Kirk on it.
"My name is Jim Kirk and I'm from Iowa," he told me. "I'm invisible online."
Tos au where Spock & Bones are the devil & angel on Jim's shoulder Spock being the angel and Bones being the devil... except Spock is an enabler and Bones ends up being the only one in the group with any survival instincts.
My favorite part abt the star trek fandom especially the tos one is that as an outsider you'd see someone talk abt a plot from the show and you'd probably be like "damn what fan fic plot is this?" Only to actually watch the show and realise it was not fanon but canon..
Obsessed with the idea that Spock is considered a "bad boy" in vulcan.
I'd like a fic where kirk and the others have a Misson on vulcan and one of the crew members overhears some gossiping vulcans and than one thing leads to another and Spocks status as bad boy supreme is revealed.
Bones probably: gosh if Spock is what they consider a "bad boy" I'd hate to see what they consider a "good boy"
Meanwhile Spock is panicking cause Jim just found out how important physical touch really is to vulcans
“Lower Decks was made by people who hate Star Trek”
No, lower decks was made by people who love Star Trek enough to make an entire show about everything Star Trek is, to put in references to episodes that barely anyone knows about, to watch all of Star Trek enough to know every stereotype and running gag in the fandom, and to still make the show able to stand on its own 2 feet.
They put in a reference to the animated series episode “the infinite Vulcan” where Spock is cloned to be a massive Vulcan, they put in a reference in the comics about “The way to Eden” in their first edition, these are people who care about Star Trek enough to find every nook and cranny of it, and create a likeable show about it.
I am also a firm believer that if you truly like a show, you are able to point out that it does have flaws, and to accept that, and I feel that lower decks does that perfectly. It shows that your little perfect Star Trek show has flaws and inconsistencies, but shows that you can still enjoy watching the show, as well as you can fix those mistakes or just have it be funny.
I really like lower decks. 🫠
ALIEN LANDSCAPES of STAR TREK
my favorite TOS bloopers, outtakes (x), and bts footage (x) for your consideration & enjoyment
inspired by @deadpanwalking from a previous columbo in space:
rewatching tos for the first time in a few years and having a great time. i really do remember a lot of the stories, so far there's none that I've totally forgotten.
also fun to notice this time: 1. how often bones gets hurt 2. how kirk interacts with people (he's quite good at reading people and telling them what they want to hear to get out of a situation)
am also paying attention to kirk as "lothario" because i am about to designate him asexual, with where we're at so far. (i might just do that anyway)
“Well Mr. Columbo—”
“Actually, it’s Lieutenant Columbo.”
“You’re Starfleet?”
“Star who now?”
(thanks for the caption @brookbee!)
my friend just showed me this account through the Columbo Star Trek posts and they’re SUPER funny and I’m so sorry if you did this already but I noticed how Columbo sometimes likes to crack boiled eggs on cars and things at crime scenes and I was wondering if you’d be able to make one with Columbo cracking an egg on an Enterprise dashboard?
oh he would totally do that
