Star Trek: Revenge of the Archons (First Watch: E21)

[madimpossibledreamer]

Death count: Well, I think Sulu might’ve just gotten mind controlled.  And bones, and the other one.  And Kirk.  That’s unsettling.

Sulu.  That is an awesome outfit.

Monks with guns.  Eeep.

Oh, those are staves.  No?  IDK what is happening.

Also, sulu smiling that much is kind of terrifying. Stop.  Does all the command staff have terrifying manic smiles in their repertoire, because that’s terrifying, weapon-wise.

Everyone in old clothes looks cool.

You realize none of you are dressed without hats.  You’re all naked.

You all speak weird.

That rock just bounced, right off you.

Hi, don’t mind us.

…is this like the purge, because I gotta tell you, I never watched that movie.

That’s a very awkward way to sleep Kirk

Spock do you sleep with your eyes open?

Beware of monks with magic staves

Which is why you should completely not worry about it because gentle.

I saw something like this on Doctor Who.  These people are…oh, yeah, all Cybermen.

…That sounds right, actually.

At least you kept him knocked out until you got there, so unless they’ve got some sort of homing system…

Not the emergency bypass.

Kirk has an appreciation for projections.

Talk about peace, random ensign pulls a phaser.  Idiot.

RESIST!

Also how did he find you?  the “absorbed” mind controlled one was conked out.

Nooo not bones.

A sonic weapon?  Cool!

Actually, it would make sense, particularly given the fact they’re Cybermen.

Creepily happy bones.  Eep.

That look of hurt on Kirk’s face though.

I wish the two of you were arguing, actually.

Looks like the mind-meld isn’t working.

“This is just ridiculous, a bunch of characters running around in robes” “wielding powers far beyond our comprehension” is this a Star Wars reference?

Prediction: it doesn’t work on Vulcans.  Maybe.

Or that could work.

Vulcans apparently can’t smile manically.

You’re enjoying this too much, Captain.

That’s an oddly sentimental way of thinking.  I didn’t expect that from you, Spock.

Prime Directive doesn’t apply to non-living, growing civilizations.

Kirk having to deal with McCoy without hurting him.  That desperate “Doc, I don’t wanna hurtcha”

Spock, why you smacking people instead of Vulcan Neck Pinching him?

He’s got two of my people and I don’t take that lightly, especially when one of them is Bones.

“It’s time you learned freedom is never a gift; it has to be earned.” –Kirk wow, I think I might be re-launching my Wisdom From… series, and who would’ve thunk Kirk would be the subject?

Lots of anti-computer.  I wonder if there would be anti-robot sentiment.

*starts playing Rush’s Freewill*  …this is oddly more appropriate than I thought.

You hit it with the equivalent of one hand clapping.

On that note, what would a Buddhist computer be like?

Sulu’s just like “oh, yeah, what can you do, you just occasionally get mind controlled.”

Beware what you wish for, right?

What, nothing with Bones back to normal, growling about this?  …I’m disappoint.
