do you guys remember the first episode of star trek where everyone wore yellow turtlenecks and spock had a gun, just a huge fuck-off rifle

the number one rule for watching star trek the original series is that you CANNOT under any circumstances go into an episode expecting it to be Good. if it ends up being one of the Good ones, this is purely coincidence and you should not expect it to happen again. the main takeaway from any tos episode should be that it could've stood to lose maybe 20 minutes of runtime, and that's part of the charm. you HAVE to understand this to make the most of it.

what people flagrantly misunderstand about culturally iconic ‘logicians’ like spock and sherlock holmes is that they are fuckinggggg annoying. like you canNOT write for nor adapt either of these characters properly without understanding that they are admirable in many ways, yes, but they are repeatedly and gleefully, ON PURPOSE, fucking massive nuisances to literally every sane individual around them, all the time. they love bothering people, they LOVE it, it makes them SO HAPPY, and THAT, not their brilliance, is what makes them the best. spocks a BITCH

it will be kirk.
