STRANGE NEW WORLDS ― S3 TEASER TRAILER P2

Thinking about that episode of Star Trek Voyager where they travel back to the 1990s, because there is an insane implication. Not just because the eugenics wars are supposed to be happening at that time and there's no reference or mention to that ,but also because the woman they meet there says "I've seen every episode of Mission Impossible." This is insane and implies that Leonard Nimoy exists in the Star Trek universe, because he was in a few seasons of Mission Impossible. This has to mean all of the actors of Star Trek exist in the Star Trek universe, as real people in their correct times, just in a world where Star Trek doesn't exist as a work of fiction. In the Voyage Home, Gillian Taylor could have been like "Hey you look like that TJ Hooker guy, William Shatner, wow it's like a spitting image." Or literally any other time travel instance

did u know: it was one of the few the bbc deemed it too messed up to show, so it didn't air in the uk until 1993

Plato's Stepchildren is one of those episodes that is so quintessentially and authentically Star Trek, as in the whole time you're going WHAT the FUCK is HAPPENING, and yet it works. If you suspend disbelief and lean into it, it's actually an incredible episode.

I think a lot of people who don't like it might be stuck on the objective ridiculousness of it. (Kirk slapping himself and rolling around on the floor reciting poetry? Kirk and Spock dancing the do-si-do?? Alexander riding Kirk like a horse???) But the ridiculousness is important. The humiliation is a huge part of the torture.

I have a theory that the ridiculousness is how they managed to sneak in the first interracial kiss on American TV. That distinction alone makes it iconic. (I wonder if that's why it was banned in the UK?)

Both Shatner and Nimoy act the everloving shit out of the first "torture" scene. They look so objectively ridiculous, especially Shatner, but that's on purpose. The humiliation is part of the torture. For fans who are able to take themselves a little less seriously and take the scene a little more seriously, to see past the objective ridiculousness and really enter their world, it's actually incredibly painful. Gutwrenching. Heartrending.

Alexander is a delightful character and the sympathetic way his differences are portrayed were revolutionary for the time. I just love the friendship and mutual reassurance between him and Kirk.

This speech from Kirk ⬇️ alone makes the episode worth it.

All four of them absolutely kill it in their Greek garb. Uhura and Chapel finally dressed as the goddesses they are: Uhura's gorgeous cleavage and that snake bracelet! and Chapel's deep, deep v and high, high leg slit! Kirk and Spock in miniskirts! Spock's upskirt shot! Kirk's one-tit-out top!

And of course, Spock being forced to sing! (That is, Nimoy singing a song he wrote himself!)

Not to mention the inspiring recurring Trek "don't stoop to your enemy's level; you are better than this" ending.

It's such a weird and iconic episode, and one of my personal favorites. I would think that most TOS fans are here specifically for the weird and iconic. What's not to love?

There are many benefits…

Leonard Nimoy, Donald Sutherland, and Jeff Goldblum in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1978)

i know most people politely ignore the line in Sarek about Picard having attended Sarek's son's wedding (especially since once we actually see TNG-era Spock it's never mentioned or implied that he's married) but we're ignoring the much funnier possibility that after fucking up all of his other kids, Sarek had/adopted another son post-TOS and Spock has a third unnamed secret sibling out there.

i got into star trek as a bit and now unfortunately ive realized its one of the most beautiful shows ever. its about love and family and exploration and warmth and possibilities and a hopeful and wonderful future. and its also so so fucking stupid

"Kirk and Spock" by Rob Bailey

Spirk but with beybie

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing a fandom post talking about Bashir having had some kind of brain surgery to make him the Smartest Guy Ever but I am eight episodes in and I have yet to see any evidence of this guy being smarter than my rabbit that tried to eat shoes

That’s the great thing about Julian Bashir as a character. He is a genius, truly. He is also so - and I cannot stress this enough- so stupid.

don't cry, okay? maybe butch scotty is somewhere out there for reals...

(and if he is. can he call me... please i need more butches in my life pl
