Cybertron has not yet recognized the laws of the UFP, this diplomatic mission is still of great significance. We met a race called Transformers. They are silicon-based creatures and can transform their bodies into another form at will. At present, we don't know much about this race, but we will arrange a meeting and dinner tonight to show our friendship.
My brain: Kirk constantly looking at Spock like he’s smitten and trying to drink in his appearance to Spock Prime looking at aos Jim Kirk after not seeing his own Kirk in decades like he’s trying to drink in his appearance
Me: :(
My brain: Due to his Vulcan mind, he can probably remember his own Kirk almost to the exact detail, but does that just make it worse whenever he looks at this new Jim and can’t even delude himself into thinking he’s standing by his Kirk again?
Jim's death scene: that shit was perfect on so many levels, it gets me very time. "I'm scared Spock, help me not be" that shit was a cultural reset. I cried, I've seen other people cry; it's perfect and I'm literally willing to fight people over that scene.
TOP 1 things I HATE in AOS:
Jim's resurrection: WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S NO EPIC EMOTIONAL JOURNEY TO PUT TOGETHER THE PIECES OF HIS VERY HUMAN AND FRAGILE SOUL THROUGH THE VISCERAL AND UNCONDITIONAL NEED OF THE ONE PERSON WHO FINALLY LOST CONTROL HAVING LOST HIM!!! What do you mean there's no human equivalent to a "search for Spock" kind of thing. We get a 5 minutes fight scene and all is good. NO! I DON'T WANT THAT! What do you mean that they didn't get the chance to make Spock fight with his BARE FISTS, completely lose his temper, beat the shit out of Khan, realize the actual beast he has dormant inside of him, just for Jim to not wake up just by being injected blood alone. His body regains its functions, but Jim is not there. What do you mean we don't get to see realization FINALLY sink in. Bones worked so hard, day and night, to stabilize Jim. He exhausted himself, he did everything he could as a doctor, but fixing Jim's soul goes far beyond his capabilities. It's quiet in the hospital room; there's no sense of urgency or impending doom to distract them. Jim is dead. Gone. Forever? How is Spock gonna cope with that? How can he deal with that grief-filled beast inside him now? And what do you mean we didn't get to see Spock Prime's reaction to JIM BEING THE ONE WHO DIED IN THE WARP CORE???? IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HIM! HE HAD TO DEAL WITH THE TRAUMA OF BEING DEAD, AND NOT IT'S JIM!!! IT'S JIM THIS TIME! HOW??? WHY???? How is he gonna fix that because there's no way he can let this happen. He did not travel through time and space just to see Jim die again. In what was supposed to be his place. NOT A CHANCE. He is going to try everything. Except they have all the time in the world, sitting by Jim's hospital bed. His body is alive and kicking, but Jim... is dead for good.
(Or maybe he isn't...... maybe I can fix that..???? *writes writes writes* wish me luck for my first spirk fanfic...... maybe..... if my brain collaborates....)
The Galileo Seven happens to be one of my favourite star trek tos episodes...wanna know why... because we got this fucking image
"Good lord, another dead...we seem to be in a pickle"
SPOCK
S P O C K
But also because we got Dr McCoy wearing bright blue eyeshadow but that's besides the point. The point is, they say Spock is a stone cold, Vulcan calculator man, but in reality he's a half human sassy dipshit, who's like a dad, who accidentally left his kids unattended for like 5 minutes.
I know the dynamic will be a bit different by next season since the stakes well be even higher now, but I just appreciate what were we shown with these two whenever they would have a conversation that would quickly turn into banter.
