I originally wrote this down for my Trek-obsessed bestie @clinttbartton and didnāt intend to post it but I saw @noitsbecky127 do a similar thing and realized I could share it with everyone here even tho iāve never done something like this before (and even if no one else cares, its a cool record for me)
To preface this let me say: before starting this I had a vague idea of who Kirk & Spock were because of pop culture and knew the names of some of the other main bridge crew. I knew almost nothing about the format of the show. I grew up watching Doctor Who (including some of the older stuff when my Dad persuaded me) so a lot of the obvious ā60āsā stuff wasnāt completely alien to me (pun intended) but a lot of the Trek stuff was completely foreign as you will see
This is pretty long but here we go!
Point 1? What kind of date is that?
Spockās in charge? Huh thatās unexpected
Ah Kirk narration~
Do all of them start with exposition? Thatās a tried-and-true plot device and its kinda cool
Damn ok Kirk the ladies man
Whoās the third guy? (I was referring to the red-shirt)
I hate the shirt uniforms they look so flimsy and ugly
The music is definitely giving weird vibes to everything lol
Wait tf the lady looks different? For all of them?? Or just him?
Well the third guyās probably going to die
Yess the iconic intro!
Ah so it is all 3 of them seeing a different one (edit after finishing the episode: this is a weird misleading thing because it implies its in their minds instead of a physical change that the others would also seeā¦ maybe its both? I could give it the benefit of the doubt)
Well heās salty! (edit: LMAO perfect word choice)
Heās hiding somethingā¦
She definitely killed him
Lmao sheās (Uhuraās) flirting? with Spock? or just teasing him
Wow he just shut that right down
I wonder how long the crewās been together
Is McCoy southern? I thought I heard a little bit of accent
They needed SALLLT!!
Bones is his nickname right?
Yes he CAN ājust beam downā thatās his job
Was that prop supposed to be bread? Lol looked very fake
Oop he disappeared quick
āIāve got saltā wtf
Its like heās calling a wild animal
Oh shit more dead starfleet people
Oh fuck its *their* men
Why bring more people down?? Why would you do that??
SHAPESHIFTER???
Well answer them, youāre gonna get caught if you donāt act the part!
The little smirk that was actually good, I could see the female actress making that face
Well now its on the ship good job Kirk
Welp everyone in the elevatorās dead
Oh guess not
That poor blonde lady (Yeoman Rand) these guys are all creeps!
Ooh this room is fun
Its Sulu!!
I like this pink plant lol
Nooo Sulu be careful donāt let it get you!
Oh it just wants the salt lmao
Pink plant to the rescue? Or just scared?
āGone Space happyā?? Lol
I like her sheās just got a powerful presence (referring to Uhura)
Ah creepy changed again!
Very presumptuous kick his ass girl!
Ooh speaking in a different language I like that
Gurl you in danger get awayyyyy!!
Whatās her name? Ohura? Ahura?
These actors for the shapeshifter are doing a great job tho
Lol he snacking (my first thought was it looked like a sour patch kid lol)
Ooh whatās that uniform? Very spacey
Be carefulllll guys
Nooo leave Bones alone!
Oh yeah smart just let her in
Yeah because putting the doctor to sleep in the middle of a crisis where people are dying is a great idea!!
Referring to yourself in third person- very alien entity
Is she going to pretend to be him???
Ahhhh she didd
Thatās actually really smart because as the doctor you can explain any death and make it not your fault!!
Kirk and Spock on a mission together here we go~
The professorās just letting them find out??
Oh shit he shot at themā¦ that was a lot
āPhasers on stunā is from Star Trek??!
Yep the ship is secured ā¦ EXCEPT ITS IN THE CONTROL ROOM NOW
Kirk belly crawling lmao
Ok Spock IS kind of attractive I guess I get it
Oh YES boys good job!
He just let the creature who killed his wife stay with him and protected it because it was the last one?? What the actual fuck
Kirkās got that smart face on
I feel like he knows Bones well enough to know somethingās up
Ooh Kirkās intimidating I like it! Heās an angrier boi than I expected
Yes Spock is smart- donāt leave them alone!
But ofc now its him against two yikes
Yep thatās what I thought
Aww he ran there
Green blood! thatās right!
Oh wow it killed him too
Welp thatās that its just the creature now
Yay for Spock not being human
Kirk vs Bones oooh
āOh shit!ā (I actually said this out loud when they started fighting physically, I didnāt expect Star Trek to have physical violence for some reason)
Yeah she isnāt done CLEARLY
Jeez second instance of grabbing someoneās hand that has a gun in it thatās so DANGEROUS guys come on
Protective Spock!!
Oh SHIT heās actually using violence! I didnāt expect that!
I know its a genderless creature but smacking a woman like that is giving me some Yikes vibes
I think youāre traumatizing Bones
Ooh she smacked him back!
But.. you proved your point
Ooooh real monster revealeddd
AUGH its ugly and fake looking
Oh jeez you ok Kirk?? That was quite a scream!
Aww poor Bones :(
I wonder what the different colored shirts mean?
Fondly comparing a killer alien to buffalo is just weird. Are buffalo extinct in present day? I should know this.. I hope theyāre not
Do their windows look out the back?? That would be trippy af to ride backwards at Warp
End thoughts:
Yeah ok that wasnāt a fantastic episode but it was tolerable and iāve seen worse
Introduced the gang!
tho had a few quite questionable scenes with the ladies (almost all of them now that I think about it) except with Uhura and even she was hit on creepily)
Is Spock the only man on this ship who respects women?? Come on! But he just seems respectful in general
Relatively simple plot, but drawn out like old Who always was
Script was ok, not noticeable either way (bad or good)
Tbh I think the creature looked better than early Who monsters so they get credit for that!
~~~~~~
So there you have it! My first forray into Trek documented! At the time of writing this, iāve watched a few episodes of DS9 (the first few + Distant Voices because I love Bashir) and TNG (I think iām in love with Data) and a few more of TOS (2-4 and Piece of the Action) as well as half the episodes of Star Trek Continues (White Irises made me fucking cry so hard and I havenāt even seen the episodes it was based on!)
(I didnāt do this for 2-4 or the others but I could absolutely go back and watch those in a while and iām sure Iād remember what I was thinking!)
If you read this far youāre crazy and thank you! This is honestly mostly for me :)

How To Write Live Like a Goblin on Sense and Understanding Would you want to understand the meaning of your life? *** between the pouring rain, and unforgiving sun, geneva has periods of gray dullness like now, in which the goblin would usually sit in the bistro trying to make sense of his life, before giving up knowing that when it allĀ made senseĀ he would only want he life to be a mystery again, saying "...now that I understand, I don't want to understand anymore..."
How To Write Live Like a Goblin on Going Through the Motions After a hiatus due to my circumstances the resident Goblin is back. Today he takes us through his motions.
How To Write Live Like a Goblin on Today the Goblin talks about what makes him write these paragraphs. *** the goblin was simple enough, saying "...well, much of what I write is based on the questionĀ what in my life is worth posting, where, if something is, I try to see if I can catch it in a text...", and then the search was on to find some picture that would match whatever the text portrayed, saying "...well yes, rather like a clothes statement I suppose...", and finally he would post it while keeping a copy to see who he was by it, simply hisĀ journey to selfĀ was this then, but he felt too, that his awareness of that self was growing with the ongoing practice now
