beam me up thotty

steepled fingers

dramatically turning around in the swivel chair on the bridge

curling his lip when he’s uncomfortable or indecisive

folding his hands behind him

holding on to the back of the captain’s chair whenever possible

crinkled eyes instead of a smile

meticulously selecting either “captain,” “jim,” or “sir” to suit the sentence

scientific head tilt

staring at the floor before gazing up at kirk from beneath his eyelashes like some kind of femme fatale

putting his hands on his hips when he’s frustrated

touching kirk’s forearm constantly

folding his arms while pacing

randomly saying “………Jim………”

parting his lips when he’s startled

hanging his head while kirk is gripping his shoulders. they do this in every episode what does it mean

gazing deep into kirk’s eyes even in the midst of a life-threatening emergency

For your convenience, here is a list of some other ways Star Trek villains have been defeated:

By Kirk reciting the Declaration of Independence really passionately

Kirk literally fighting himself

Kirk fighting himself again (this time while Spock watched)

Fat tribbles eating the problem away

Dr. McCoy applying mortar to an acidic rock creature

Spock mind-melding with a probe

Literal whales

The power of love defeating V’ger

Spock killing Kirk instead of having sex (Kirk got better)

An omnipotent being got his ass grounded by his parents

By doing literally nothing and history happened the way it would have anyway (plus there was a cat who turned into a hot lady)

The crew dressed up in suits and threatened to shoot gangsters

Kirk explaining birth control to an overpopulated planet

By making children cry
