Fans celebrate the casting of Nichelle Nichols as Uhura as a moment for actors of color, which they should be.

But I also wanted to spotlight the casting of these iconic guest starring characters, seen in episodes of TOS.

Percy Rodriguez was cast as flag officer Commodore Stone, who was Kirk's superior in the chain of command. Stone is one of the officers that presides over Kirk's court martial.

Booker Bradshaw was the original Dr. M'Benga, seen in two episodes of TOS. at the time, M'Benga was Starfleet's first and only medical specialist in Vulcan Physiology, having spent a year's residency on Vulcan.

One of the finest minds in computer technology in the 23rd century, and creator of the duotronic computer, Dr. Richard Daystrom, was played by William Marshall, whose work in Shakespeare, and his roles as Paul Robeson and Frederick Douglass, added to the gravitas of his portrayal.

A flag officer, a specialist in Vulcan medicine, and one of the finest minds in a field of technology, played by actors of color, during the turbulent 1960s.

when your captain leaves you in charge of the bridge and you have to be in command instead of looking pretty at the science station :(

"Mr. Sulu if I had wanted a Russian history lesson I would have brought Chekov."

I love that Sulu spends so much time with Chekov that he's just started spouting Russian history

Bruh why is Kirk so mean to Sulu…. Can the boy not just talk. Can he not theorize. Sorry he’s not Mr. Spock and you can’t eat him alive

After watching every Star Trek TOS episode a thousand times—give or take (except the three episodes De isn’t in), I started to notice off-the-wall things. See how De carried his medical kit with one loop around his finger? That’s all.

#random emma thoughts #doctor who #dw #a show with captain jack in it is gay?? WELL DUH #i watched this kiss when i was 8 and was unbothered #welcome to the gay show #these people would not have survived in 2005 #and definitely would have frothed at the mouth at torchwood which is an even gayer show than dw #anyway why are people surprised rtd who is gay writes gay stories #15k
