It is very hard to explain to people that I get bored by many action movies but am completely riveted every time I watch Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Spock having a psychedelic brain blast and crying about how gay he is + the futility of his life-long self-hatred is the most 1970s way that movie could have ended. Chef's kiss

I keep trying to write a post about why I love the motion picture but it inevitably devolves into incoherent rambling. But like guys how are you not constantly thinking about star trek: the motion picture like can we talk about star trek : the motion picture like ok in the beginning. In the beginning spock/kirk and decker/ilia both haven’t seen each other in years. And then they’re brought together by circumstances beyond their control and there’s tension in both those relationships but there’s clearly still feelings there. And then there’s this obvious parallel between spock and vger both trying to find a purpose in life and then Vger possesses Ilia so there’s an even clearer link between Spock/Kirk and Ilia/Decker. And THEN Spock and Vger share a meld and come to the separate realization that the thing they were missing in their lives was the very thing they were trying to suppress/ignore which was their LOVE for their SOULMATE. Are you guys hearing this it’s the SAME story except one of the romances is about these random one off characters no one cares about and the other is the culmination of the greatest gay love story accidentally written. I love the motion picture so much I am going to explode into a million tiny pieces

“this simple feeling” what are you feeling bro? feeling your other bro? that’s pretty gay dude
