Star Trek: By Any Other Name (First Watch: S2E22)

[madimpossibledreamer]

Death/injury count: 2 red shirts…well, one of them was killed.  (Thompson.  Thanks.  Kirk always knows the name of each of his crew and feels their deaths, as the man points out.)  Spock gets thrown around a lot.

OOH, a Shakespearean title.  I’m slightly worried now.

Bones’ expression.

Kirk’s face.  Just *argh*.

You left the involuntary muscles.  Good.  (heart still pumping)

“what’s wrong with impregnable?” “Nothing, as the iceberg said to the titanic”

Yeah, can you control the Organians???  HUH??? IN YO FACE

Actually, you’ll find they’re a contrary lot.

Different galaxies have different usual life-forms?

Note: touch telepathy can go through solid rock?

Crew as family.

THAT IS THE BEST REACTION TO LOVECRAFTIAN BEINGS KIRK OH MY WORD YOU ARE THE GREATEST.  Just, casually, “Immense beings with 100 tentacles would have difficulty with the turbolift”

That sounds like they’re saying ‘Kelvins’….Also this makes the choice of the “kelvinverse” unintentionally hilarious be back laughing my head off

Also kirk your brain never ever stops does it?

“how?” “Yes” thanks for the Vorlon answer Captain

It’s like a monk-trance.

You’re basically other-world Klingons.

I’m surprised you don’t know the variety of flower.

Note: our ship didn’t do so well the last time we crossed the barrier either.

Too bad Gary isn’t here for this.  I’d like to see a fight between them.

Kirk’s look of horror when he realizes they’re going after his crew now.

That is the look of a man in despair.

Uhh, you realize that if he accepts it, he’s going to lose his mind.

You’re being brought over to our side by food.  :D

Save the galaxy by going native?

…Kirk, are you going to try to seduce one?  Again?  At a time where it makes more sense?

Scotty’s reaction is to get them drunk.  Bones is to hypospray them.  Kirk is…yepppp, called it.  Kirk, you’re such a heroine.  And look so shocked when she figured you right out.  You could just talk meta with them instead.

“Very odd creatures, these humans.”

Spock and the Kelvan captain playing chess and analyzing reactions.

“It’s green” very informative, Scotty.

Scotty keeps his best scotch in his armor.

Spock “touch Bones’ shoulder” stop watching like it’s a soap opera and follow me you goof.

“You do realize you humans are overly preoccupied with the subject” uhhh, yeah, that’d be Freud you’re talking about.

…uh.  ‘supplemental reading’.  Do you mean porn, or romance novels?  Because either way it’s pretty much the same thing.  (If I remember correctly from that weird conference thing I was dragged to years ago, romance tends to be more explicit than erotica, at least at the time, which I remembered because it doesn’t make sense)

You realize talking nerdy to Kirk probably really gets him going.

What’s up with that one lady on the bridge?  She hasn’t done anything.

That’s a dangerous game you’re playing, Spock, though probably 3-D chess.

Scotty, you’re very drunk.

You were the first to get one, Scotty, even if you didn’t get far with it.  Good job.

“If you can’t keep her, that’s not my problem.”  That’s…kinda a misogynistic thing to say, but it’s probably calculated to anger Rojan.

               Owww GLASS IN THE BUTT

“I’m stimulating him” and they throw him back in.

Bones’ little smile bounce.  I’ve got to find that Kelvinverse gif.  Found it.  Took me long enough.
