cimorene: cartoony drawing of a woman's head in profile giving dubious side-eye (you know what)
[personal profile] cimorene
in "the naked time", everybody gets a bug that acts on them like a whole lot of alcohol. even spock is overpowered by his emotions (24 caps in this scene).


KIRK stalks into the conference room where SPOCK is alone having an emotional breakdown.

KIRK: where've you been, dammit?
KIRK stops in his tracks next to SPOCK, staring, when he sees him hunched over the table with his face in his hands. SPOCK looks up at him.


SPOCK: my mother! i could never tell her i loved her!
KIRK, with a hint of disbelief: we've got FOUR MINUTES--maybe five!

SPOCK, miserably, and looking at KIRK earnestly: an Earth woman! living on a planet where love--emotion--is in bad taste.

KIRK, face dismayed, grabs SPOCK and drags him to his feet.



KIRK: we've got to risk a full-power start. the engines were shut off, there's no time to regenerate! d'you HEAR me? (shaking SPOCK's shoulders) we've got to risk a full-power start!

SPOCK, looking arrested and speaking more urgently also: i respected my father... our customs. [KIRK pants a little. his face shows his distress; his brow wrinkles.] i was ashamed of my Earth blood--

KIRK slaps him. there's a pause. SPOCK straightens.

SPOCK, with weighty emphasis: jim. [pause] when i feel friendship for you, i am ashamed.

KIRK: you've got [slap] to HEAR [slap] me!

KIRK continues his movement to slap SPOCK's face again, but spock catches his hand in mid-air.


KIRK: WE NEED A FORMULA! we've got to risk implosion!
SPOCK squeezes his hand tighter and draws it towards himself.

SPOCK, straining, gritting the words out: it's--never--been--done-- [he forces KIRK's hand down; KIRK stares at SPOCK as he slowly circles KIRK.] understand, jim. i've spent a whole lifetime learning to hide my feelings.


KIRK, looking desperate, slaps SPOCK again. this time SPOCK loses patience and backhands him.

KIRK flies back and lands on the table, then skids over it and falls onto the floor on the other side.

SPOCK watches this with a defiant expression. KIRK hauls himself to his feet and leans over the table.

KIRK: we've got to risk implosion, it's our only chance!

SPOCK, shaking his head slowly and speaking a bit laboriously: 's never been done.
KIRK, furiously yelling: don't tell me that again, science officer! it's a theory! it's possible! we may go up in the biggest ball of fire since the last sun in these parts exploded, but we've got to take that one in ten thousand chance!
INTERCOM beeps.
UHURA, over it: bridge to captain. engineer asks did you find--
KIRK, almost screaming, hitting the video screen: YES, I FOUND MISTER SPOCK, I'M TALKING TO MISTER SPOCK NOW, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

KIRK suddenly looks at his own hand in horror.
UHURA: yes, sir. three and a half minutes left, captain.
KIRK: i've got it--the disease!



on a lighter note, one of my favourite scenelets in the series occurs a bit earlier when drunken sulu bursts onto the bridge with his rapier.


SULU, seeing UHURA, grabs her around the waist.

SULU: fear not, fair lady!
UHURA: sorry, neither!

[she jerks away]
KIRK lunges, seizing the rapier and SULU's arm.

SPOCK administers the Vulcan Nerve Pinch and he and KIRK lower SULU to the floor.


KIRK: i'd like for you to teach me that sometime.
SPOCK: take d'artagnan here to sickbay!

a couple of un-annotated sequences?








having a picard moment?

In the 'Picard moment' - Spock is being manly and heterosexual yet again.

I love these annotated little episodes. Love love love them.

And awww. Spock! <333. Poor Spock and his emotional breakdown.

Dude. Spock wears more eye makeup than I do on dress-up days.

all vulcans do. i can't decide whether it's cultural (like RUDE and SHOCKING to go out without one's eyemakeup?) or whether they just happen to have blood vessels near the skin or something that makes the strange coloration of the eyelids.

i never stopped loving it teh best. but i like to read a bunch of stuff in one fandom at a time. i can only really devote brainspace to two or maybe three fandoms at a time.

Subtext? What subtext?

Spock looooooves Kirk. So much. And Kirk is soooo freaked out by it.

i don't think kirk's particularly freaked. although i think in this particular episode he's pretty angry about having to take the time to address that when he has four minutes in which to save the ship and all 400-something-passengers from fiery DEATH.

And he calls himself a *romantic*.

Clearly, time itself will stop for this declaration of love.

Just watched TOS today ("Doomsday") and man, Kirk was having a cute day. All green-wrap shirt and golden, floofy hair and cherubic grin. Much of the time, he still strikes me as too ridiculous to get into the hot, but every once in awhile, he earns the fannish heaps of praise. Spock, of course, is always the hottest thing ever to wear eyeshadow.

i've been watching back through the ages but [livejournal.com profile] wax_jism hates tos and the dvd player's located in her computer, so i haven't gotten very far yet. but oh how i love kirk's little green wrap shirts! and his mascara! and his floofy golden hair! yes, i'm completely with you on all of this.

somehow when i watched these the first time i never noticed how very gay spock's body language frequently is. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, spock. ♥
