#tos rewatch

This show is so much more than just adventures on space. It is funny, clever, and with such a great cast of characters that I will never get tired of rewatching it.

Dagger of the Mind

Star Trek: The Original Series: Season 1, Episode 9

Not only that, but record my thoughts akin to when I live blogged it the first time as my opinions have evolved over time, it’s been a whole year and some change since I watched it all the way through last.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE EPISODES!! they’re all drunk and hilarious

even the protective suits are sparkly dear god

this fucking idiot takes his glove off?? and then goes and touches shit with it?? AND TOUCHES HIS FACE?? what kind of scientist??

“be certain we expose ourselves to nothing” thank you for telling me spock after i took my glove off and put my hand on my nose and mouth

SPOCK IN THE BLACK TEE SHIRT!! thank god

bones don’t be a dick

cute kirk moment <3 “you keep wondering if man was meant to be out here. you keep wondering, you keep signing on.”

the briefing room has a sign on it that says “boyz only”

sulu trying to get his friends into his special interests <3 same

what’s he gonna do with a BUTTER KNIFE??

WHY IS EVERYONE ELSE IN THE REC ROOM JUST WATCHING THIS?? USELESS

straight up salt shakers as medical instruments

how did he injure himself that bad with a butter knife??

“why is this man dying?” let me take some time to reflect on it instead of trying to save his life

sulu wanting to do a “light workout” with riley…seems like a code

riley is so funny when he’s drunk “let the women work too! universal suffrage!”

spock is so done

SULU RUNNING AROUND SHIRTLESS WITH A SWORD

“sulu, who is at heart a swashbuckler from your 18th century”

WHY DID JIM TOUCH THE TIP OF THE SWORD

“i’ll protect you, fair maiden” “sorry, neither”

“take D’Artagnan here to sickbay” PLS theres so many good lines in this one

ILL TAKE YOU HOME AGAIN KATHLEEN

they throw themselves SO FAR across the bridge

kirk looks so done

“women should not look made-up”

ILL TAKE YOU HOME AGAIN KATHLEEN

scotty got a label maker

ILL TAKE YOU HOME AGAIN JANEEN

oh and of course chapel is only concerned about her looks when she’s drunk

YES UHURA YELL AT HIM

pls no i hate the tension they try to create between spock & chapel

spock in this scene is me whenever someone is trying to have a serious conversation with me

“i’m in control of my emotions” doesn’t look like it man

he starts crying when he says “six” and my dad said “it is a sad number” PLS

spock crying because he loves his mom

“when i feel friendship for you, i’m ashamed” “i’ve spent a whole lifetime learning to hide my feelings” this is so gay

jim slapping spock and spock throwing jim across the table

the vaguely sexist monologue about how the enterprise is JUST like a woman because “you can’t live your life. you’ve got to live hers!”

jim’s stance is so funny

mccoy ripping jim’s shirt open - either he’s really strong or jim’s shirts are made out of paper which honestly would make sense

“time warp” pls sing the song from rocky horror

“since the formula worked, we can go back in time to any planet, any era” a novel discovery but we’re never going to bring this up again
