That theme of one TNG episode where everyone turned into like evolutionary throwbacks but instead of a coherent plot all I have to offer is an image of the entire ferengi family turning into a trio of oversized extremely clingy bald rodent/bat like things with grabby hands. They have all selected Odo as their perch of choice.
Odo is exactly the same because turns out changelings have just literally always been goo. He only is grateful that Quark is too busy being a primitive ferengi to come up with some sort of mockery about shapeshifters having never evolved.
oh my lord i might have to draw this. it’s TOO GOOD

“Y’see, I feel sorrier for you than I do for him. Because you’ll never know the things that love can drive a man to. The ecstasies, the miseries, the broken rules, the desperate chances, the glorious failures, the glorious victories… All of these things you’ll never know. Simply because the word ‘love’ isn’t written into your book.” 3×19 – Requiem for Methuselah
My favourite things about the “are you prepared for the kind of death you’ve earned, little man?” meme are that a. it’s not an “incorrect quotes” gag – that’s actually what Brent Spiner is saying in that shot; and b. he’s talking to Wil Wheaton.
I don’t remember this, so please, tell me where I can learn more.
The Next Generation, season one, episode thirteen.
my absolute favourite thing about all the old star trek series is when the ship unexpectedly collides with something and, due to the lack of sophisticated special effects available at the time, everyone just throws themselves across the set as dramatically as possible
Wait, isn’t there stabilised gifs of these shots floating around?
I FOUND SOME!!!
Is Uhura just like grinning like a dork in the last one?
I think the best thing about Amok Time is that it is canon that satisfying the Pon Farr is equivalent to marriage on Vulcan. Usually this is done with sex, and since T’Pring challenged the winner would have gotten to marry her via sex while the loser would have been dead…
but since Jim didn’t die, spock satisfied his Pon Farr with him, AND he did no frickle frackle with T’Pring, for all intents and purposes, Jim and Spock are canonically married by Vulcan law.
And idk I just picture that the next time T’Pau calls spock she’s just like “and how fares your husband” and spock is just like “hold up what husband.”
T’Pau: “your husband. James Kirk.”
Spock: “gRANDMOTHER THE CAPTAIN IS NOT MY HUSBAND. YOU ARE MIXING UP THE ENGLISH WORDS AGAIN.”
T’Pau: “You rolled with him in the sands and did not die. He lives and therefore he is your husband. You rOLLED WITH HIM IN THE SACRED SANDS GRANDSON. Also your father and mother believe he is. Your mother has knitted him sweaters.”
IMPORTANT ADDITION EVERYONE REBLOG:
On TOP of this before they’ve probably gotten married for the sake of the mission more than once. Like, Jim will always ask Spock because hey, strengthening my bond with my second is a Good Idea and Spock’s argument is the same like “Yeah it is logical to strengthen my bond with my captain.”
Alien of the week: and finally, to prove your acceptance of our culture, we deeply wish for someone on board to preform the ultra special bonding ceremony that is super important to our culture
Jim, grinning wryly at spock: hey, wanna get married again?
Spock, sighing logically; for the 24th time captain, there is no one I would rather marry
Jim: *heart eyes*
Bones: OH MY GOD WHY CANT YOU JUST GET MARRIED ON EARTH
