“Regarding Kirk’s personality, the screenplay of Star Trek commented, “At 22, he’s charming, witty, dangerous, rebellious.”
The script also characterized the twenty-two year-old Kirk as
“unformed, raw”. In ultimately omitted dialogue from the same script,
Kirk responded to Pike’s appeal for him to join Starfleet by admitting
Pike was right: he did want to feel special. However, he sarcastically
added he therefore planned to start a book club. [2]” -The Memory-Alpha Wiki
Spock, the first officer whose advice was always effectual, possessed a strength of understanding, and coolness of judgement, which qualified him to be the counselor of the ship’s captain, and enabled him frequently to counteract, to the advantage of them all, that eagerness of mind in Captain Kirk which must generally have lead to imprudence. Spock had an excellent heart, positioned somewhere near his kidneys; his feelings were strong, but he knew how to govern them: it was a knowledge which his captain had yet to learn, and which one of his fellow crew members had resolved never to learn.
Dr. Leonard McCoy’s abilities were, in many respects, equal to Spock’s. He was sensible and clever; but eager in every thing; his sorrows, his joys, could have no moderation. He was generous, amiably cynical, interesting: he was everything but logical.
im really losing my shit thinking about vulcan childrens music and television. who could forget such hits as “3 is an appropriate number” and “walking in the street could lead to maiming or death”
the vulcan equivalent of the wiggles is just 3 normally dressed individuals reciting multiplication tables in unison
Speaking as someone with very little knowledge of Star Trek – I’ve seen like three episodes from random versions and I read Spock’s World – I violently disagree with this.
Even before I had such minimal knowledge as I do now, I thought that “vulcan” was a very appropriate word for them. It’s not that they don’t have emotions, if anything they have more than humans, they just run hard and deep, like volcanoes. You don’t want that thing to erupt.
So I imagine vulcan children’s TV is much like Sesame Street. Here is a muppet with anger issues! He spilled his milk and it made him ANGRY!!! Here comes someone dressed in completely normal clothes to say yes, that was indeed unfortunate, but anger is an irrational response to such a thing and not in keeping with the teachings of Surak; let us now explore different forms of meditation as emotional control, one of which includes three normally dressed individuals reciting multiplication tables in unison.
geordi la forge and julian bashir are both on the same terrible situation where they conceptually should have been gay, but rick berman (being both a bitch and a coward) forced them so they not only to be straight, but to be straight in the worst way and have creepy and terribly written relationships with women. let’s pour one out for our nerfed icons 😥🙏
i'll apple your turnover
