#i understand the irony of using tevye here but i cannot hear 'on the other hand' without thinking of him#also. VULCANS?!#coded as jewish? christian? japanese? lets take a vote#in which everyone voting only votes for the group they belong to because they see similarities between their cultural experiences#and outlooks and spock's.#which. let me clarify. is a GOOD THING. me seeing some vulcan practices as distinctly japanese and others seeing it as something else is#WONDERFUL and exactly what star trek is about. would just. love to see the diversity of responses i'd get if i asked what people saw in#vulcans. i know some of the specific jewish elements nimoy brought to the table in his characterization of him re: the rationalists and#kabbalists/the greeting being a blessing#but im not interested in canon#im interested in what people see of themselves reflected in the vulcans#as individuals#captain's log#trek#i forgot what i was talking about#im writing abt the genesis planet for a big secret ent project and referred to it in my head as the 'jesus planet' and then went. that's#rich for someone who just said that vulcan philosophy more closely mirrors buddhism than western religions#because its uhhhh where spock was resurrected#hi everyone#whats going on with all of you
