Star Trek: Patterns of Force (First Watch: S2E21)

[madimpossibledreamer]

Another interview tomorrow.  Wish me luck. ~Dreamer~

Death/injury count: John Gill, probably loads of other people.  The lady who was going to marry the one guy.

Oh.

Oh, this is the episode with space Nazis, isn’t it.

That’s actually a…what’s that called.  I guess maybe Psychohistory although that’s not the term I was looking for.  It’s been a while since I’ve had a history class though so.  (investigating the psychology behind historical events)

Oh that’s exciting.

Are you & the Klingons in a cold war now??

The movies were to have a little more light-hearted stuff in this.

Subcutaneous.  Uh, I missed the other word, but it’s a smart, futuristic idea nonetheless.

(what do you mean?  The architecture’s different all around Earth; I’d expect the same from different planets.)

Great hiding, guys.  They’ll never see you there.

Also Zeon?  That’s not subtle at all.

(also that guy looks like one of the rebel fighters from Star Wars)

Fuhrer??

Them just snarking at each other (though ‘you’d make a good nazi’ to Kirk he likes playing dress up but I’m not sure—is he supposed to be portrayed as Jewish?  I’ll look it up.  Anyway, that’s so antithetical to who he is that even if he isn’t that’s just such an insult.  And kinda over the line, but y’know, it’s not like they haven’t gone over the line toward Spock before either.  Not normalizing it or saying it’s okay, just…sometimes you say things you don’t really mean)

Is that ‘you’re not white enough’??

Don’t you ‘sassy look’ me spock.

I’m not joking, I’m flirting with you.  briefly.

Anyone’s capable of violence, just as they’re capable of rising above it.

Why would you save us?  (why not?  Though they don’t actually answer.  Weird.  They just ignore the guy after his question.  That comes across really weirdly.)

Kirk are you related to McGuyver by any chance??

Guard don’t notice us STOP ASKING QUESTIONS THAT’S PROBABLY GETTING ATTENTION

Kirk’s acting in pain is pretty good there.

As long as he doesn’t engage in needless violence that should be okay.

YOU STOLE HIS KEYS YOU BRILLIANT MAN you’ve got pickpocket skills WHAT HOW

*grins* The sunshine.

Because sometimes, helping strangers is all the hope you’ve got.

Are you getting him addicted to gambling?  :D

The best approach was “mccoy is drunk”??

Melakon is using him huh?

Or we could choose no evil at all.

Why did you salute him???  Kirk what.

Sadism makes you sad?

He’s dead jim (or not)

Inferior (raises eyebrow)

Jim all of your heroes turn out to be absolute jerkfaces.

Sometimes all it takes is one evil man.

…a rhyming space nazi.  Now I’ve seen everything.

Kirk actually stepped in.  Usually he lets them argue cause he’s amused.
