Star Trek: Space Seed (First Watch: E22)

(aside: it did mostly work out so thanks :) yay)

Death count: 1 red shirt, 1 blue shirt—hurt?  Dead?  1 red shirt sexually harassed, Stockholm syndromed?  Scotty hurt.

I could’ve said Morse.

1990s?  Oh, man, I wish.

Yeah, but red or yellow?  You gotta be specific about these things.

I think this is the Wrath of Khan prequel.  Not sure tho.

Bones got tired of waiting on you to explain which type of alert you’ve got on.  (also I love that he and Spock just kind of perch on the arms of the Captain’s chair, like do this Jim no, do this Captain)

The Botany Bay???  Yeeeep.

Oh, I’m glad we missed that World War.  And Eugenics.

You realize ‘as you were’ means them arguing at each other whether or not you’re there, right?

Also you never finished that sentence.  Would you go to keep him out of trouble, or just ‘not a transporter again’?

McGuyver?  No, McGuyvers.  I’m expecting you to put together a phaser with a hat, a pencil, a ping-pong ball, and some orange juice.

Old-fashioned cryogenics.

2018?  You mean, there’s something to look forward to in 2018?

Handsome?  Have you not been looking at everyone in the Enterprise when you’ve been on board?

Lieutenant.  Ogle later, professional now.

It honestly might be better to leave him, just as it might be better to kill Hitler, but we’re not in the business of killing Hitler anyway, so.

Also why are they all wearing snakeskin?

Two centuries?  That gives me an idea of when this takes place.  Nice.  (No, I haven’t figured out how the Stardates work yet.)

Nuclear, again?

Kirk, you’re practically pulling his pigtails.  Poke poke poke, when’s the Vulcan gonna react?  Spitball.  You’re all of twelve sometimes.

Not sure this is the time to keep ogling.

More adventuresome?  You’re…you’re kidding, right?

“If I can have honesty, it’s easier to overlook mistakes,” –Kirk

Dammit, man, I can’t answer if you’re choking me…also, I’m just going to sit here and provoke you.

I’m not gonna say ‘no’.  That would show vulnerability.

Yes, hi KHAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN!!!!.

You haven’t figured out when someone’s faking it, McCoy?

Would I trust him if I hadn’t seen the other things first?

Breeding, not genetic manipulation?  Crude/primitive.

What are you talking about, it looks interesting.  Like a bird, or something.

Unfortunately, there are parallels.  Kirk’s used seduction mostly as a means to an end, too.

Attempt to stay professional.  That’s something.

What’s with the red celery, though?

“Well, there aren’t any regulations against romance, Jim.”  So says you, but they do exist, just not for visitors.

Why would you have put that on display and then just…hid it?

The question is, are you, miss Red Shirt, the wife that died on the planet.

Well, Earth is unified, too.

Kirk just said, hey, Spock, provoke him, and he raised an eyebrow and said, “Why, Captain, I don’t know what you mean” and then proceeded to do just that.  and then Khan called him on that.  Well done.

“Social occasions are only warfare concealed” Oh, you have got to have been talking to the Centauri.  …something went wrong in that sentence, but I have no idea what so I’ll just pretend it never happened.

And you noticed it.  the Captain’s every bit the predator you are.

You didn’t actually eat anything you realizes.

Sure, I’ll stay in the same room as the guy who just sexually harassed me, and I’ll ask if it’s acceptable if I do.  And I’ll break your hand and kick you out if you don’t help—Okay, wow, this is really a disturbing unhealthy relationship.  I wonder if there’s analyses on this.

“This romanticism about a ruthless dictator is—” You know, I totally agree with you.  I’m not even with the against but admire bit.  Unless he’s got a cool backstory like Mongol, he still sucks.

Since when are you a red shirt, Khan.

Got more peaceful, better genetics against disease.  Red shirts are a special case, probably.

Can’t you override, Spock?

Do we not have space suits on the bridge just in case?  If not, we should.

Uhura has nice legs.  So, of course, does Kirk, but we all knew that.

Also, Captain’s log before he passes out.  Normal enough.

They have a loyalty, yep.  To each other, to the Captain.

The treacherous one remembers your promise.

You…put Jim in the wash?

Illogical.

McCoy points it out.  It’s a fake-out.

It’s useless, yes.  But it’s also so. Very. Human.  Resistance is normal.

You’re an utterly stupid woman.  Probably the most stupid woman on the entire show.  And, surprisingly, that’s saying something.

Kirk’s the master of messing with plans.

Wow, would you look at that, that’s actually fear.

NOT MAH SHIP!

What’s up with the two-hand clasped hit thing?  I’ve never seen anyone else fight like that.

Still got good old-fashioned human ingenuity, though.

I like your bell rather than the gavel.

Not too long ago you were on the other side of this, remember?

Rare to read Milton, that late out.

I’m gonna guess that was the wife that died.  I’m disappointed in a woman named MacGuyvers.
