Nobody better slam my girl Hubble Telescope after the Webb Telescope pics came out, alright? For YEARS she was the baddest bitch around and we owe her nothing but gratitude
Thinkin about how in the leonard nimoy directed movie, the trio goes back in time to save whales, and in the william shatner directed movie, the trio befriend a cult leader and kill god
Folks can say what they want about Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, but this moment where the gauntlet gets thrown down and Spock is forced to choose between his brother and Kirk? It keeps me fed for a lifetime:
Spock: I cannot go with you.
Sybok: Why not?
Spock: I belong here.
Sybok: I . . . don't understand . . .
Spock: Sybok . . . You are my brother, but you do not know me. I am not the outcast boy you left behind those many years ago.
Since that time, I have found myself; and my place. I know who I am. I cannot go with you.
Shout out to Jim’s extremely smug, smarmy, self-satisfied expression after Spock tells Sybok “I cannot go with you”.
Spock stands firmly by Jim's side without question, essentially choosing James T. Kirk over his own blood brother. And Jim's face is just:
Jim: Yeah you heard right. He loves meeeeee (you can't step to this but cute try, bless your heart.)
Sybok: Oh it be like that, huh? *Excited his little brother has actually learned to make peace with and love himself, knowing he is genuinely embraced for who he is by people that love him*
I digress. it makes me absolutely feral that Kirk and Spock repeatedly choose each other without hesitation over their blood family.
How they were closer to each other than they ever were their biological brothers, or “anyone in the universe.”
It kind of cuts to the core of me in the most beautiful way every single time I see their loyalty for each other tested, yet they never waver.
They've always got each other's backs unfalteringly. After TMP they don't care what anyone else thinks about them, they just love each other without question or fear. Unequivocal devotion in a heartbeat. Ugh, it's precious. Space husband loyalty on fleek.
Bonus: Sam Kirk out here to Sybok like: Get used to it, bro. Get in line.
I HATE THIS what is wrong with me? So cursed. How very dare. Much wtf.
