Star Trek: And the Children Shall Lead (First Watch: S3E4)

[madimpossibledreamer]

Death/injury count: prof. starnes + 6 civilians, scotty got in a fight, sulu, Chekov, uhura in control, 2 red shirts beamed into space, kirk hurt.  Red shirts + spock hurt. 1 red shirt neck pinched.

Yet another professor you knew, kirk.  Great.  This is gonna go fantastic.

Uh, suicide??

The enemy within you say?

Kids + the title.  Prediction = reverse pied piper?

Kirk is unimpressed.  Probably because you’re playing in a field of bodies.

Are you going off your personal experience there jim?

It’s true that sometimes acting too happy is a response to trauma.

Or, y’know, A Study in Pink.

That flag is kinda creepy and idk why.

IT’S WORKING ON ME TOO HELP SEND HELP IMMEDIATELY

The scientific term, kirk, is the heebie-jeebies.

That glare is creepy.

Hope it’s not contagious.

He’s 100% speaking from experience, specifically about David.

I like the plants in there.  Where are they?

And this is why you don’t give books on summoning demons to kids.

Like many I imagine I like how kirk crosses his legs in that command chair.

Leslie is either not paying any attention or he’s already under control.

“Evil does seek to maintain power by suppressing the truth.” “Or misleading the innocent.” (Spock, Bones)

(sulu does have a sword fixation)

Uhura’s afraid of being old?  (oh, disease and pain okay that’s better)

Where’s bones in all this?

(spock, what are you?)

Kirk ends up being the only one far too often.

Those are facing the wrong direction to destroy the ship.

When he’s freaking out he starts having female body language that is beautiful.

(headcanon: they’re going back to this side of paradise)

Okay you’re either about to strangle or kiss him.  Make up your mind, man.

Spock is a fan of killing baby hitler.  Okay.

That phaser is not on stun.

This is my chair.

Hi I’m doing something dumb want to join me spock

I’m done with your magic tricks.

Kirk is gentle but that’s not a weakness.

Are you literally combating this with love?  Is that what this is.  Kirk.  You are such a female protag.

You keep saying exterminate.  Are you a dalek?

Seriously bones, where were you this entire time

Brilliant horror episode.
