kirk/spock moment in "mudd's women," 1x04

the dialogue isn't important here but i've included it because (a) i love the technobabble and (b) if you've seen the ep it may be of interest.



SPOCK: the entire ship's power is feeding through ONE lithium crystal.

KIRK: well, switch to bypass circuits.




SCOTTY: we burned them all out when we superheated, captain. that jackass, walsh, not only wrecked his own vessel, but in saving his skin--




KIRK: if it makes you feel any better, engineer, that's one jackass we're going to see skinned.

that scene is especially noteworthy in that respect. although they're really like that at least a LITTLE all the time. it's always turning first to spock, *looking* first at spock, and frequently communicating with him entirely by glances. and jim hardly goes anywhere on the ship alone. he'll, like, just jerk his chin a little or even just glance at spock on his way out and spock just falls in behind him. siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

Nnngh.

I really have to start getting into the old ST. My dad used to be a Trekkie and it was the only show I could ever recall him watching when I was a kid. Sadly, I used to make fun of him for it.

Oh, how I choke on my words now.

i was a next gen devotee when i was, oh, eight through thirteen or so. well, it lasted longer than that, i guess. anyway, they weren't rerunning TOS back then. the sci fi network only started about... eight years ago with that. dad used to talk to me about the original one, i saw clips at cons, caught an episode or two on tv, and made fun of him, too (those rocks are styrofoam! they're just spray-painted! etc). generational thing! and besides the [lack of] sfx, it's so *different* from tng. i still love tng, but i love tos more. it suits my personality or something.
