Dorks in Space

every time i see a tos crewmember running around colorful alien planets in their gay little boots and flared capris im like. this is what television is supposed to be

cgi? i dont know her. show me your cardboard spaceship again king

star trek is great bc sometimes it’s like “this alien culture is a transparent but hopeful allegory for race relations in the united states” and sometimes it’s like “wouldn’t it be fucked up if an alien sucked all the salt out of you“ and sometimes it’s like “this story is a nuanced examination of traditional gender roles through the lens of a far flung future society” and sometimes it’s like “these aliens based their entire social structure on an old book about 1930s mobsters”

I found her! She uses the money from her etsy shop to take care of stray cats and finds them forever homes. In the description for this listing she also posted many updates about her experiences fostering cats.

star trek tos really just ends episodes on lines like “mr spock you almost make me believe in miracles” and “for the first time in my life i was happy” and expects me to be fine

Everyone thought T’Pring and Spock were compatible as children because they were both super dramatic and prone to malicious compliance. 

the sexual tension between you and your first officer bending over his station instead of sitting like a normal person

In Journey to Babel Sarek's alibi for being accused of murder literally is "I couldn't kill that guy, I was buisy having a heart attack" and idk why it's so funny to me

Star trek is cool but sometimes you can tell it was written by white people

I think about that tweet about "you can tell star trek was made by white people because they're talking about 'to boldly go where no one has gone before' and then like 90% of the planets they go to are inhabited" every day

I think the best And worst part of the star trek fandom is that there are old people in it. Like that old lady that knitted the uniform for herself is cool as hell but I also got a white boomer in my notes mansplaining racism to me. Yknow

Old ladies who like star trek are the backbone of society but old white men who like star trek are a plague upon the earth
