My mother and I were watching Star Trek Into Darkness tonight (I'm not feeling well and we love to watch these movies together)
Well we got through the first scene, when Spock is in the volcano and Kirk asks Bones, "If I was there and Spock was here, what would he do?" And Bones replies, "He'd let you die."
Just... I have to say, I know there are a lot of points in that movie that revolve around the sentiment of Spock following the rules and regulations and protocols of Starfleet without hesitation. But there's something in Kirk's eyes when Bones says that, this flash like how can you possibly believe that?
I just know Kirk never fully believed that. He can't. I feel like a big part of the foundation of their friendship in the Kelvin timeline is rooted in Spock's human-side. Kirk knows it's there, just beneath the surface, well controlled but still there
Kirk hears Bones. Understands his concerns even. But doesn't believe them.
Thank you for coming to my strep throat induced TED talk.
Please take this edit I just made because they're my romulan empire if I dare say so I love making AOS Spirk miserable and whumpy my beloved silly crunchy little space men
You used what he wanted against him. That's a nice move. It is what you would have done. And this, this is what you would have done. It was only logical.
