Star Trek: Friday's Child (First Watch: S2E11)

Death count: …Fred? The Red Shirt who tried to shoot the Klingon.  The leader + several of his men.

….

Okay, we get to see the standard briefing that probably always happens before an away mission, but.

…why is Bones in one of those recordings?  Had he already gone down, or…?

Oh, okay.  Explained.

Darwin.

Klingons spotted!

Again!

Also, he looks even less alien than the last Klingon.

The Darwinism would be easy to convince the people to join the Klingons.

…is full of woe?  Note to Tony Stark, don’t make another AI after FRIDAY.

That glare.  You hurt one of my crew members I’d like to murder you where you stand but…

“Earth men fear to bargain honestly”? looook you really shouldn’t take Mudd as any sort of representative of anything

“Look, Jim, I know what it means to you to lose a crewman” Bones knows him better than Abrams that’s for sure

Look, the Organians can probably protect your people.

Jim usually deals with this with violence.  As he can’t, he’s just pacing.

Everybody grins when Jim’s apologizing to them for being mean, like “man, you’re so hard on yourself, we know not to get hurt by that”

He really does have a thing for blonds if the expression when that woman came in was any indication.  And Bones’ knowing grin.

(I like Bones, Mr. I’m a Doctor Not a Diplomat, explaining all the diplomatic stuff…)

“They find you a disappointment” sheepish shrug

I like how they randomly go into ‘at ease’ gestures.  It really reinforces ‘this is military, people’.

Ooh, it’s a faction thing.  I bet Kirk knows this stuff instinctively.

Kirk you really need to trust your crewmen to have this.

O man

Kirk fighting!  Also coup d’etat? (failed?  Non-failed?)

Spock, Bones, no really, I got this.  Antique weapon and all.

What, really, guests fighting isn’t allowed in weapon-y place??

Ohhhhh, of course.

That’s ‘cause they all know of Kirk.

Rly kirk?  I mean, civilian in distress.  But.

You gotta know it’s a trap, Scotty.

…uhhh, Uhura, didn’t you get that sounded vaguely mechanical?

….okay, Scotty, really.

Really everybody?

*laughs* “THAT’S A VERY GOOD IDEA BONES” I guess they don’t have many breakouts because he was telegraphing like mad, and Spock was only better b/c he was a Vulcan

Bones, hypo!

Jim & Spock know the most defensible locations.

Bones yelling his patients into submission.  And engaging in a slap fest really?

And now Bones and Spock have evolved to the point where they can argue with their expressions.  That’s great.

Jim, arguing Spock into working with him.  Like any good leader, knows psychology & how to talk people into things.

Klingon stabbed a guy who was knocked out.  So much for honor.

Ha, and now he used the same technique on Bones.  Awesome.

Where was this filmed?  It looks vaguely Colorado-like.

…you’re super weird lady.

Scotty figures it out.  Aand keeps looking anyway.

…they probably were going to kill her because of the newborn.  Can’t have the next ruler born.

Those were odd expressions during that exchange, Bones, Kirk.

That was a beautiful look of realization.  *follow me*

Strategically placed rocks.

Bones failing and getting more action, again.

NIIIICE bows.

Bones grinning.  Kids, maan.

(was part of his issue “I already failed two marriages”?)

I am Spock when handed a kid, every single time.

And Bones and Kirk just stare at each other and go ‘what is Bones doing this time?’

Is Chekov?

Every time Chekov says something is Russian, he’s trolling them.  If his expression is any indication.  Maaaan I did not see that coming.

Well, they had those throwing knives, they didn’t need bows.

Awwww.  Jim’s just like ‘your Hippocratic Oath means more than this’.  That’s sweet, and understanding.

BATTLE STATIONS

I really want to see Jim use that bow.

Was that a ploy to become wife, or…?

That was awesome.

I like this episode ending more than most of the episode, wow.

HEY RED SHIRTS

And Bones with baby.  (You’re a doofus.  But probably misses them.)

An obscure Earth dialect, really?  (Stormageddon speaks it though)

“I think you’re both going to be insufferably pleased with yourselves for at least a month” –Spock gureito-daze.
