I Need a Place to Put Star Trek Memes

it’s kind of insane how much you watch star trek run into the same brick wall over and over again with the klingons because they’ll do a good interesting episode regarding klingon society and then they’ll be like btw they’re like this because of BIOLOGY and you’re like ok man. you ruined it

similarly you’ll have characters being like oh klingons are a violent xenophobic warrior race because it’s in their blood and then you’re like ah i see this is a perspective we are going to refute by the end of the episode to gain a more nuanced and rounded perspective of klingon society and then they just won’t do that

It’s so funny how like. Spock is queer bc of the subtext, the Otherness inextricable from his character, meanwhile William Shatner was handed the straightest man of all time on paper and fumbled the bag bc he couldn’t stop giving Leonard Nimoy fuck-me eyes and now he lives in a bi Kirk hell of his own devising, forever enduring the conshatquences of his shactions
