Bones I think this is where you call Spock.

like without context, McCoy asking, begging to be transported down with them? and Kirk actively not wanting him there? Spock's not snarking about it bc he's Calculating

Ruminating! That is such a good word for it, exactly - and yes that makes his reaction later make even more sense. He's known that McCoy is leaving without knowing why, has been working on integrating these, and then finding out it's a deeper more final sense of leaving - still doesn't know how to respond beyond knowing he has to hold on

Also, having read a bit more about Nimoy and Kelley's approach to acting and (especially) how they tried to sneak in Spock and McCoy moments in TSFS, I'm left wondering how much of this wasn't spelled out in the script but played out by the actors to add more layers of characterization and meaning, because both of them were actors who sought to do that...

god don't even get me started on that. The symbolism of Spock removing the Instrument of Obedience from McCoy will not cease to drive me insane. It calls back to Return of the Archons to me, Spock performing his first meld that we see to try to find McCoy's mind, how disturbed he is to find him basically lobotomized with him actually sucker punching a guard after finding that out. It makes me think of McCoy constantly being willing to sacrifice his life for Spock's mind. The both of them intensely invested in and protective of each other's autonomy, actively desiring the intimately understood opposition from the other's mind

So whenever I see crap like Elizabeth Holmes’s blood test scam or pharmaceutical trials which are unable to be replicated or industry-funded research that reaches wildly unscientific conclusions, I just remember those fucking sweet potatoes. I remember that curiosity dies when people are just trying to give their superiors the “right” answers, so they can get the grade, get the job, get the paycheck. It’s not about truth when it’s about paying rent. There’s no scientific integrity if you can’t control for human desperation.
