Yes, I am more logical than you

Not to mention WHERE is the fume hood......

like a dog called to heel

This deleted scene from Return to Tomorrow (TOS 2x22) is going to kill me

the solidarity between Dr. Mulhall and Nurse Chapel like, “lol, Spock’s just bad at feelings sometimes; we wouldn’t be able to explain it. And hey, that’s the captain’s job anyway.”

the earnestness in Kirk’s eyes, the pure yearning

the way he pauses to glance at Spock’s mouth after he says “someone”

Uhura in the background very obviously eavesdropping - she turns towards them when they start talking, and then away again when they stop (and she even gives a lil head tilt after Kirk’s bit)

Spock trying to use logic like, “Oh well since Sargon thought it was a good idea, sure, I’ll consider having a deep, undying love that transcends time, space, life, and death.” *makes intense eye contact*

Kirk’s sort of resigned wistfulness as he gets back to work

“I can’t believe this aired” (the worst plot you’ve ever seen on tv)

“I can’t believe this aired” (a piece of media so beyond its time and still relevant to today’s discussions, that I’m surprised it didn’t got censored at the time it went on air)
