My fatal flaw is I won't hesitate to reblog Spock. I fucking love Spock. I love Star Trek. I would rather die than let 'cringe' interests hold me back. I will always reblog. Leonard Nimoy my beloved.

the only new trek vs old trek discourse i wanna hear is about the aspect ratios

i am BEGGING us to talk about how the 4:3 aspect ratio meant that actors were literally four inches from each other’s faces at all times in order to be caught in the same frame

I genuinely believe that this explains about 95% of (intentional and otherwise) older Trek romantic subtexts, and the other 5% is Kate Mulgrew touching her fellow actors a bit too much.

The softness of William T. Riker in the Inner Light? Cradling Picard’s head while he faints? And murmuring “it’s alright; i’ve got ya”?? Then later holding his shoulder while he sits up and helping him stand? Soft 🥺
