then they get to the botany bay and she's immediately driven to distraction by how horny she is for ricardo montalban under a thick layer of extra-dark foundation. sorry i'm gonna compare montalban with and without the makeup because it is SO distracting

also she refers to sikhs in the past tense implying that at some point in the last two hundred years there was a genocide that they're just glossing over. since she also calls them a warrior race it's also possible that she's just racist and somewhere on board the enterprise there are sikh crew members who dislike her as much as kirk does.

Will we ever talk about how Spock’s palm initially just holds McCoy by the neck and cheekbones—with his fingers in a standard position—but the gesture gradually shifts into the one we all recognize? Vulcan hand gestures don’t always signify a kiss; it depends on the context, but... We all know Spock kissed that Romulan female commander that way. In other words, an emotionally unstable Spock initially grabbed McCoy intending to lash out, but ended up kissing him instead. And it’s all because his emotions are chaotic: he starts doing one thing but finishes by doing another.

Spock is kissing

However, one shouldn't confuse them; although this gesture closely resembles the "LLAP" greeting and farewell, they convey different messages, serve different purposes, involve different techniques, and—of course—occur in completely different contexts.

Spock Bids Farewell to His Brothers

Actually, Spock and McCoy are constantly kissing in the original series. Well, or trying to.

An attempt at a final kiss before McCoy dies. Look at the positioning of the fingers—it bears a striking resemblance to the way Sarek and Amanda kissed. It is as if McCoy wants to reach out and return Spock’s kiss properly, but lacks the strength to do so.

Hmmm... Hello!? Spock grabs him by the throat? He handles McCoy like a toy? Looks at his face and suddenly realizes this is not his usual Doctor? McCoy's head rolls and he relaxes as he accepts the mind-meld??
