1. The way Spock tells Kirk that he must get off the bridge. He sounds like he's holding back a lot of worry.

2. The way Spock pulls Kirk into the lift. First, it's amusing how he just grabs Kirk's arm in such a no-nonsense manner. Then Kirk sort of takes over and they end up slamming into the thing and I'm always disappointed that they don't ( Read more... )

I watched this lovely episode again, and man oh man did I miss quite a few slashy things. We all know this is the episode in which Spock briefly dies and Kirk all touches his chest and gets all emotional before Sargon brings him back (and they try to ungay that by having a het kiss between Shatner and the Dame of the Hour, though it's completely ( Read more... )

*Weeks later, I deliver promised meta. At this rate, my next fanfic will show up sometime next year.

The Cloud Minders. Het city! Spock actually shows genuine interest in a woman! Kirk holds a woman in his arms! Is this the mirrorverse? Oh, but like the city in the clouds, it seems to be all an illusion. Seriously though, when I watched this a ( Read more... )

This one was tied with the TMP novel analysis, so I logically chose the easier of the two. :) This list is entirely my opinion only, so it's very, very likely that many of your favorites won't be included. To get an idea how I managed the soul crushing difficult task of choosing between so many amazing episodes, it all boiled down to which episodes ( Read more... )

Right, I missed doing meta, because this was fun to write even if it's not that in-depth and it's a popular episode. I watched Journey to Babel today because I hadn't seen it in a long time and I was waiting for my sister to arrive for Supernatural night.

I saw at least one squee-worthy thing in the episode, and it along with other things made me ( Read more... )

Now I've heard that quite a few of my flisters have yet to see most or all of season three of TOS, mainly because it is (admittedly) a weak season. The show was running on a small budget, and the writers began smoking some bad drugs. I mean, we even get space hippies in this season, so yeah, bad drugs. Now, when I posted about Spectre of the Gun, I ( Read more... )

So weeks and weeks ago I wrote up a thing on Spectre of the Gun, but livejournal ate it. Now I write out long entries like that on google docs first and finally enough time has finally passed in which I feel like talking about it again. This is actually sort of long because I'm getting way too versed in TOS and so I make connections like a Connect ( Read more... )

Before I start in, if you're a big fan of both Star Trek and satire, there was this awesome episode parody written for this episode and I just had to physically scan and share with you guys. It's called Requiem for a Hack. It had me laughing my freaking ass off.

I subjected myself once again to the episode Requiem for Methuselah. I had only seen ( Read more... )

All Our Yesterdays. I've always been unimpressed with this episode, but for some reason I wanted to go back and bask in the lovely Spones involved, when I realized something. I call Spones my 'recreational ship'; if there was no Captain Kirk, I'd be shipping that as my main pairing. But because there is Kirk, I've noticed that practically the only ( Read more... )

Holy shit son, how did I miss this incredibly slashtastic scene from Day of the Dove? (probably because I had only seen it one time, months ago.)

Just...GRABBING and INTENSITY and SOULFUL EYEFUCKS and SHOULDER GRABBING.

HOW HAS THIS GONE UNNOTICED? *edited to add* Holy crap, I also just noticed that Spock didn't even lose his temper until ( Read more... )
