Watching The Return of the Archons. We all talk about Spock’s little outfit, but I feel like we don’t talk enough about how done Spock is when he goes to get assimilated absorbed.

Can you imagine what MY FATHER would say...if I were to give up command of this vessel, jeopardize hundreds of lives, risk interplanetary war, all for the life of one person? ◭ My logic is uncertain where MY SON is concerned.

“And Spock was the result. The first Human-Vulcan mixture.”

“No, not the first. But The First to Survive. ... There seemed to be something about the Earth-Vulcan mixture that created him, that tiny body, a fierce determination to survive.”

Since people seem confused on this issue

“Regarding the origins of the Vulcan gesture involving touching of two fingers with two fingers, Leonard Nimoy explained in his book I Am Spock that the gesture was not meant to be the Vulcan equivalent of a Human kiss, but rather the Vulcan equivalent of holding hands in public: "The question came up as to what public sign of affection, if any, Sarek and his Human wife would display. Handholding was clearly out, but perhaps finger-to-finger contact of a ceremonial, dignified nature might work. Mark [Lenard] and Jane [Wyatt] took my comments to heart, and came up with the wonderful gesture where Amanda rests her first two fingers lightly upon Sarek’s two fingers. It worked beautifully, and added to the texture of [the episode]." Nimoy also described Vulcan finger-touching as "the beginning of the Vulcan mating ritual", "the Vulcan two-fingers-touching 'embrace'", and "the Vulcan version of foreplay". (I Am Spock, hardback ed., pp. 71-72, 237)”

1) hand holding was clearly out — why? Because handholding would be more intimate for a Vulcan than a human. To convey the same meaning as hand holding Vulcans touch *only their fingertips*

2) read the last sentence then watch the enterprise incident. That is foreplay. Spock is being a James Bond type character and using sexual wiles to distract the female romulan commander. The scene is sexy I’m not sure how this is confusing. Vulcans and romulans have the same basic biology.

3) watch the pon Farr scene in search for Spock. Again. This is a sex scene. Vulcan hand stuff is there to be foreplay and to indicate sex without showing sex.

Obviously not every finger touch is foreplay. There is a range from handholding to more. But it is there to show Vulcan sexuality as alien and different. It is not a 1-1 parallel with human mores. And yea fanfiction embellishes this — if you are writing erotica you exaggerate things. I’m pretty sure adult human men over 40 can’t orgasm that often either but nobody writing posts on that being fanon.

As to why snw doesn’t include it? Idk probably because they have emphasized Spock exploring his humanity not his Vulcan side. Or maybe the authors forgot or think it’s confusing to new audiences. This isn’t a documentary, writers aren’t perfect and we know writers have had shitty work conditions of late. Or maybe in a world free from the hays code they wanted to be spicier. Who knows.

#Vulcan finger touching #has nobody seen tos #or ENT?#like t’pol won’t even eat with her hands it’s considered improper #even like popcorn #Spock #Leonard nimoy #memory alpha #fanfic authors just have fun #hand stuff is sexy #stop insisting tos isn’t sexy and full of innuendo #Star Trek #abrams was a coward from omitting it from the Kelvin movies #snw #star trek: strange new worlds #star trek tos #enterprise

I completely missed that Amanda and Spock were holding hands

also a good opportunity to use this Nimoy’s quote:

"I have this notion that Vulcan society emphasizes tactile contact," I told [Mark Lenard], "and I'm always on the lookout for opportunities to use the hands and fingers, as a symbol, a benchmark of the race." (from I am Spock)

because SNW is being very good with that. Discovery was too tbh

#vulcans just like to touch ok #spock met a man in the apple and immediately wanted to touch his antenna #hand holding = kissing needs to die 🙃#snw nonsense

Synopsis:

The Enterprise is in orbit around the planet of the time vortex, where the Guardian of Forever is located. They are in a mission of assisting a group of historians in the investigation of Federation history. Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock and historian Erickson and return from a time travel to observe the dawn of the Orion civilization while Doctor McCoy alogside historians Grey and Aleek-Om and they notice something strange. It seems that they does not know who Spock is.

Aboard the Enterprise, thet are received by Engineer Scott and he also does not recognize who Spock is. The First Officer's position is occupied by an Andorian named Thelin instead of Spock. After consulting the memory banks from the Enterprise's library computer, they learn that Mr. Spock was killed at the age of seven and his mother died in a shuttle accident.

Kirk and Spock are beamed down again to the planet. They asked Grey and Aleek-Om if they used the Guardian while Spock was in Orion's past. They have found that both historians were 30 years in the past of planet Vulcan where Spock died on his maturity test.

He remembers that a mysterious cousin named Selek saved him from death at that age. Spock assumes the role of that cousin and travels to his native planet Vulcan back in time using the Guardian of Forever.

Spock arrives to his hometown, the city of ShiKar, close to the twentieth day of the month of Tasmeen, shortly before his younger self was ready to enter the Kahs-Wan maturity test. As Selek, adult Spock met his father, Sarek, his mother, Amanda and his pet shelat, I-Chaya.

Young Spock enters the maturity test followed by I-Chaya and secretly followed by adult Spock. In the journey thru the desert, the young Spock face the attack of a ferocious creature, le-matya. During the ordeal, adult Spock saves the life of his younger self by applying the nerve pinch to the creature. During the battle, I-Chaya was hurt by the poison of the le-matya. Young Spock has to run across the desert to find a healer to cure I-Chaya. He has to choose between to give his pet a longer but painful life, or release him from his suffering. With the advice from his adult self, young Spock choose to put to sleep I-Chaya. Then, the young Spock decides to follow the Vulcan ways of his father, Sarek.

As the life his his younger self and his mother were saved, the timeline was restored and Spock returns to the present thru the Guardian of Forever.

Fascinating Facts:

This is the only story written by D.C. Fontana for The Animated series. Fontana's main duties on this series were Story Editor and Associate Producer. At The Original Series, Dorothy Fontana served as Writer and Story Consultant. She wrote four stories, co-wrote three stories and scripted four stories.

D. C. Fontana wrote this story to look back her experience on The Original Series. Spock was her favorite main character and she made her focus on two stories he wrote on him, “Journey to Babel” and “This Side of Paradise”. She wanted to explore on Spock's formative years, specially on his early relationship with his family.

The shelat pet, I-Chaya was mentioned first in the TOS episode “Journey to Babel” as “a fat teddy bear” with six-inch fangs.

In addition to the mention of Spock's pet in “Journey to Babel”, another source of inspiration Fontana used for I-Chaya, was her cat named Bobby McGee. His name is inspred by a song from Janis Joplin.

The Guardian of Forever appeared for the first time in the first season episode of TOS, “City on the Edge of Forever. In TOS, it was voiced by Bartell La Rue but in this episode was voiced by James Doohan.

Jane Wyatt was not available at the time for recording for the character of Amanda Grayson. Mark Lenard was one of three guest stars to voice their characters on both TOS and TAS. The other two were Roger C. Carmel as Harry Mudd and Stanley Adams as Cyrano Jones.

My Personal Headcanon in Regards to Vulcan Reproduction & Conception

(DISCLAIMER: Firstly, I'm genuinely sorry this rant is just about reproduction and is through a very cis-heterosexual perspective for the sake of generalization... but I do want to write about queer Vulcans soon as well in the future, inshallah. Also, this little mini-essay includes mentions of SA.)

So, of course, we all know Spock. Everyone loves Spock. Of course. Duh. Why do you think you're here?

Now, according to the information and references we've gathered from Gene Roddenberry, Mark Lenard, Leonard Nimoy, and probably some other show writers I can't think off of the top of my head... is that Spock's conception was definitely the result of scientific interference. This difficulty to naturally conceive a Vulcan/human hybrid is also explored a bit in Enterprise with the birth/creation of Elizabeth (ENT S4EP20,21), though she's a binary clone planted by a terrorist organization, so it is a little bit different... buuuuuuut that's beside the point.

While it would make sense that conceiving alien hybrids in the Star Trek pseudo-utopian future might not be so straightforward given the extensive genetic differences, there are, nonetheless, two separate instances of hybrids between Romulans and other species that stand out in contrast to Spock's clinical origin story. Namely, Sela, the infamous daughter of Tasha Yar and Volskiar (TOS novel Vulcan's Heart), as well as Ba'el, the half-Klingon half-Romulan woman living in a prison camp on Carraya IV (TNG S6EP16,17).

Romulans are, obviously, close biological cousins to Vulcans with a dramatic story of separation and the ensuing war. However, what sets Romulans apart is their willingness to express their emotions and their lack of refined telepathic abilities. Additionally, from what fans and creators have loosely pieced together, Romulans also lack pon farr entirely.

Now, I think it's obvious that Tasha Yar absolutely would never consent to have a child with a Romulan General. Volskiar kidnapped her and presumably killed or imprisoned all members of the USS Enterprise-C, including Tasha's romantic interest, Lieutenant Richard Castillo (TNG S3EP15). It's a pretty heavy-handed subtextual implication that Tasha was assaulted as an exchange for her life.

Alternately, Ba'el's mother, Gi'ral, was imprisoned under her Romulan father Toketh's jurisdiction after the Massacre of Khitomer in 2346. While Toketh changed his perspective on Klingons and 'fell in love' with one, I still call dubious consent, even if Toketh tried to establish a peaceful colony and was rejected by other Romulans and subsequently forced into a lifetime of secrecy and seclusion.

Why am I bringing up Romulans, then? Well, to me, it's clear that Sela and Ba'el were not conceived through any medical intervention. There are numerous instances of other hybrids that aren't really given such a delicate backstory as Spock... Worf and K'Ehleyr had Alexander (even if his mother was still half Klingon), B'Elanna Torres also exists, Deanna Troi is out here vibing, and Tora Ziyal is DEFINITELY not the product of a happy, intentional, meaningful, and consensual exchange (not gonna go into Cardassian/Bajoran discourse atm)... so why are Vulcans notably considered almost impossible to conceive offspring with others, not of their own species?

I think it has everything to do with pon farr and their unique telepathy, as I alluded to earlier. Humans, for example, don't have a 'mating cycle,' and healthy females within a certain age range ovulate every month, more or less... I hope you know about all that. Now, does that mean that Vulcan females have a period every seven years? That sounds kinda nice? And, well, this is the point where this narrative begins to spiral into my own personal headcanon.

I don't think Vulcan females undergo pon farr unless they are telepathically linked to a male in some way, and if they're never married or bonded to someone, they just won't get a period. Slay.

I have come to the conclusion, through my most incredible, loser powers of sci-fi franchise deduction, that Vulcan females will literally not ovulate until they are telepathically bound to a partner because, after all, Vulcan telepathy is everything to them. It is the hallmark of their anatomical function, it is how they resolve the plak tow, it's how they forge deep connections with others, et cetera.

I also kind of like the idea that Vulcan siblings all vary in age by roughly seven years because... you know (wink wink).

So, a Vulcan male can forge a telepathic connection with a human female, for example, but the bond itself won't really be the same, no matter the 'love' (Vulcans hate that word because they're edgelords 'oh I cherish thee' shut the f*ck up) between the couple. A human brain is literally incapable of the kind of telepathy considered average among Vulcans (not counting Dr. Miranda Jones from TOS S3EP7). This would, in turn, make natural conception difficult and require medical intervention like what Sarek and Amanda canonically chose to do.

So, therefore, this would make having a Vulcan mother and a human father (rip Trip x T'Pol) incredibly difficult scientifically, and it could only happen under exceptionally freakish, unusual and highly unlikely circumstances.

A Vulcan female's ovulation, in this little fictional digital bubble of a heterosexual reproductive hypothetical scenario, has to be triggered through the instigation of a telepathic bond as a result of a Vulcan male's pon farr.

However... what if a Vulcan female, who was bonded to a Vulcan male, began to undergo the physiological effects of pon farr but did not have physical access to her mate? What if there was a human 'surrogate' nearby? Could there be conception since the female would be ovulating? (insert my fan fiction plug here)

These are the thoughts I ponder at 2AM while neglecting my Ph.D. work.

Anyways, Vulcans have to go about everything in the most complex, annoying way possible and are absolutely ravenous silly horn dogs that are so ridiculous. Truly. The end.

I think im conflating a Lenard Nimoy got a drivers license photo taken in the Spock make up story with some other story abt Armin Shimerman driving somewhere (maybe family emergency?) In the Quark make up. But im reasonably certain some such. Car and star trek actor in make up related evens did happen.
