this is one of my least favourite episodes because... it's really stupid! but i dug out a nice scene and there are also a larger than usual number of images of cuddly!k/s.
SPOCK isn't so sure about KIRK's plan to destroy the alien vessel which may or may not be intent on invasion.

he comes down to KIRK's chair to talk it out, stopping next to it. SPOCK takes a deep breath and then releases it instead of talking.


KIRK, rather gently, turning to him: yes, mr spock?
SPOCK, low voiced: you mean to destroy the alien ship, captain?
KIRK: of course.

SPOCK: i thought perhaps the hot pursuit alone might be sufficient. destruction may be unnecessary.

KIRK: colony cestus three has been obliterated, mr spock.

SPOCK closes his eyes briefly, takes a breath.
SPOCK, levelly: the destruction of the alien vessel will not help that colony, jim.

KIRK, grimly: if the aliens go unpunished they'll be back--
SPOCK raises his eyebrows.

KIRK: attacking other federation installations.

SPOCK, still quiet: i merely suggest that a regard for sentient life would--

KIRK, forcefully: there's no time for that!

KIRK jumps out of his chair and paces around it, stopping next to SPOCK.

KIRK, in an undertone: it's a matter of policy. out here we're the only policemen around--and a crime has been committed. do i make myself clear?

SPOCK, expressionlessly, standing stiffly with his eyes fixed straight ahead: very clear, captain.

KIRK, sounding a bit angry: i'm delighted, mr spock.

KIRK stalks away without looking at SPOCK. SPOCK turns in his direction and stands at attention, but doesn't look at him.
there are some bonus slashy images here. this is actually the episode that gave me one of my earliest shatner/nimoy bunnies. in the early scenes, spock's really just all up on kirk, sort of plastered to him like a clinging vine, and i was just thinking about what it was like filming them... anyway.
bonus! + 9

: cuddlecuddle :

yes, spock IS always this protective.

did i say that that giant rock with balls in "what little girls are made of" was the funniest phallic object shot ever?

i may have lied.


i just like this. <3


they always pull together when jim is in danger. except for how mccoy lets out his frustration by picking stupid fights. but they don't mean it.

even kirk has to laugh at how stupid the end of this ep is.

Date: 28 Jul 2005 04:17 pm (UTC)the best thing is how kirk always wears mascara, but when he gets split into evil!kirk and good!kirk in the enemy within (http://www.livejournal.com/users/cimorene111/1917280.html), part of the reason you can tell is that evil!kirk wears a ton more eyeliner.
