That Mcspirk Feeling When

TOS Spirk for me has Spock falling for Kirk first. With him obviously holding feelings for Kirk but not saying anything till at least post the motion picture. But there is an underlying jealously and slightly melancholy to Spock’s affection for Kirk, that is amplified by Kirks many MANY romantic forays. I think we see it especially in episodes like the Edith Keeler time travel one (I can’t remember the name right now).

But with the Kelvin timeline I think it flips with Kirk falling for Spock first. After the 2009 film we don’t really see Kirk experience the same attempts as romantic twists that TOS Kirk does. Instead from into darkness onward his strongest emotional connection is with Spock. Spock is with Uhura in these movies (which I personally do not like much at all but hey it’s there I suppose) and thus that emotional sensitivity is tied to their relationship rather than Kirk and Spock’s like in the original. And I’ve always read aos kirk as being a little jealous of that, much like tos Spock is of Kirk’s romantic connections.

I also feel like the presence of tos Spock in the Kelvin timeline might have amplified those feelings, cuz the is NO WAY that some of tos Spock’s gay feelings for tos Kirk didn’t bleed through that mind meld. And the idea of aos Kirk knowing that he and Spock had something in another life really adds to the repressed yearning.

Jim Kirk? This Jim Kirk?

I'll watch you sleep, pal. But you gotta wake up. I have been and always shall be your friend.

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.

the aliens basically “conquered” earth but according to intergalactic standards the snake aliens are being hella soft on the humans lol and its because humans and the snake aliens are compatible sexually and for reproduction. humans can bear their eggs.

so the aliens made sure to have a peace treaty but all in all according to intergalactic laws the aliens conquered earth and could just do wtv they want with the planet and its inhabitants.
