this is the great karidian. you cannot deny him his last performance!
barbara anderson as lenore karidian in star trek: the original series (1966–1969) s01 e13 “the conscience of the king”
[ID: nine screencaps of lenore karidian confronting captain kirk. in costume as ophelia, she wears a dress of lavender and pale green, the bodice adorned with white flowers. she points a phaser gun at kirk, a wild look in her eyes. standing beside kodos on the stage, kirk says, “you’ll never get off the ship.” lenore replies, “it will become a floating tomb, drifting through space, with the soul of the great karidian giving performances at every star he touches.” as she speaks, there is a close-up shot of her eyes sparkling with white light. brandishing the phaser gun, she continues, “i know how to use this, captain.” off-screen, somebody shouts, “no!” and lenore declares, “caesar, beware the idea of march.” end ID.]

Currently writing a Tarsus IV fic what do you guys think of my concept?
Jim had a tendency to freeze in a dangerous situation on Tarsus and that freeze-response eventually got someone killed.
Years later, some situation happens on the enterprise and Jim freezes again (a response he thought he’d forced out of him). It’s nothing as bad as Tarsus and everyone is fine but the guilt of freezing and getting someone he loved killed is back and now he’s spiraling. He pushes his friends away in an attempt to “protect” them in case it happens again (and a part of Jim is always sure it will happen again).

i am so, so normal about kirk's father dying right in front of him. you wouldn't believe how little impact this has on my sanity. the fact that it was kodos who killed him does not make me want to rip my hair out at all

The Conscience of the King + Mirror, Mirror
It's interesting to note that Bones is the link between these two scenes. Spock gives him the information about Tarsus IV since Jim refuses to speak of his past. In the Mirror Universe, Bones is with Jim when they learn that Mirror Kirk is responsible not only for killing his captain and destroying a whole planet but that this Kirk has killed 5,000 colonists on a planet named Vega IX. And to have the camera show Bones' reaction to Vega IX instead of Jim's response? What a way to recall The Conscience of the King and place the audience with Bones as they hear news of a massacre that chillingly parallels Tarsus IV.
Also, I used these scenes not just for the exposition but also because there's a delightful swapping of both the placement of Kirk's name in the scenes alongside the role reversal. In other words, in The Conscience of the King, the scene reveals that Jim Kirk is the survivor of a massacre, and it ends with the use of his name, albeit in its diminutive, nickname form (Jim rather than James). Whereas in Mirror, Mirror, the scene begins with Jim's full name and rank title, and it reveals that he is the one committing the massacre. The two scenes not only recall each other, but they show the other's reverse as if looking through a mirror.
#star trek tos#the conscience of the king#mirror mirror#jim kirk#tarsus iv#'star trek tos is a fun sci fi show' i tell myself as i post things like this#but the usual caveats apply: word choice matters. camera framing matters. etc.#details details details my beloved#tos parallels#trek meta
