(no subject)

went to bed feeling dizzy and woke up feeling dizzier, with rushes of hot and cold, and nausea.  greeeeaaaaat.  i've had similar symptoms with anxiety attacks before, so i'd guess one of those--but google says generic xanax can go toxic after the expiration date, and i seemed to have become tolerant to it like a year and a half ago anyway.  so um.  great.  i guess i'm sick.  this SUCKS.

star trek recaps and annotations: 201, "amok time"

this episode contains canon essential to any spock slash as well as the idea that launched a thousand lame spin-offs in other fandoms:  the pon farr, the vulcan time of mating, in which male vulcans go into heat and become literally insane.  what's it all about?  instead of doing my usual word-for-word transcriptions of favourite scenes, this time i've made a recap of the entire episode.  the dialogue's a mixture of real dialogue, paraphrases, and jokes.  and i had waaaay too much fun making it. 

there are a looooooot of smallish caps behind this cut (over 50), and any one of them will link you to the amok time gallery, which has 122 images in all.  ( it has to do with biology--vulcan biology. )
