Data from Geordi's point of view:

* He's alive and glowing (short story by Viktor Yuzefovich Dragunsky)

I know that I have terrible taste of humor.

Dear Vulcans (and Data) fascination is an emotion. So is confusion. Vulcans take this as a declaration of war of if you truly must, Data it's okay I love you baby girl.

Jonah Magnus and the extinction

Not sorry about typos, no bata we die by brutal pipe murder.

So like Jonah Magnus is end ajacent.

Martin has elements of the eye and the lonely and could have been an avatar of either.

Jonah has a similar relationship with the eye and the end. He fears the end. He goes to extreme measures to avoid his own death, but at the same time, he brings about the end of everything, not only by causing the eyepocalypse which in itself is the end of the world as it was previously understood by most people.

But we know that if it had not been stopped eventually in order to feed the end people would be funneled through the fears towards the end which I would consider the birth of the extinction.

People often become avatars of things that they both fear and are fascinated by. Jon is so paranoid about being spied on in season 2, but he can't help wanting to know how things work and what is causing things. Jane Prentice was scared of what loved her, but she could not help being fascinated and drawn to it. This is why the hunt frequently goes after itself as evidenced by Trevor and the vampires.

Jonah is end adjacent but of the eye. He watches everything so that he can be the last man standing, he brings the extinction so if he must face the end he can be the last to do so and watch everyone else do it first. It's not just desolation or slaughter-type unthinking cruelty, he is plotting and he is not hurting everyone to try in some way to beat out the end, to know enough to consume everything there is to experience it all before he goes.

We hear of the fears described as body parts of the same being by and as a color wheel. The flesh may be closer in in shade to the to the hunt than it is to the vast. The extinction in many ways a new tendon connecting the end to the eye.

The extinction is not just a human fear. It is what the cosmic eldritch beast that is fear, fears. A time where there is nobody to watch it but itself, nothing to feed on but itself. A great big ouroboros of fear.

If left unstopped this is what Jonah could have birthed, a beast watched by nothing, watching nothing, alone after the end.

McSpirk and away missions. The Hazard Husbands.

The reason I ship these three (Kirk/Spock/Bones) comes down to one simple point and it is as follows.. theres is no logical reason for them to be the 3 on away missions as much as they are. Actually, it's probably not the suggested Starfleet protocol at all, or at least not for most types of missions. It's a quirk of the writing but it reads as them being so interwoven and almost like they are making excuses to be together as actual characters. We see this kind of thing way less in later series. Because they find other ways to give their main characters more screen time, make main characters out of less high-ranking officers, or have a truer ensemble cast vibe.

Kirk and Spock should rarely be down on the planet together because of chains of command. It's fine that Sulu and Scotty end up having the bridge a lot during actual away missions. You don't need a pilot as much in orbit around a planet and Engineering is able to contact Scotty if there's an emergency elsewhere. But they have other responsibilities. If something happens to the people on the away mission the death of the first and second in command is not ideal for the ship. Then there is McCoy. Bones is the chief medical officer. He goes on a lot of missions that don't need a medical officer, and while shit goes wrong and he comes in handy, it didn't make sense to put the whole crew's medical care at risk by sending him down before shit hit the fan. Additionally, in many situations where there is not an extreme medical crisis, it would make more sense to have Nurse Chapel on the planet and Bones watching over med bay.

So why does this happen? Why do each of the three keep letting this happen?

McCoy hates transporters enough it wouldn't be out of character for him to be mostly shipbound. He's one of the few roles on a ship where he can truly challenge a commanding officer. Who can say no captain I'm needed here you should take my assistant down to look at your damn rocks/broken leg/lap dog in a unicorn costume/etc. Yet he goes.

Kirk gets to pick the away teams, do I need to say more. Okay, I will, these two by his side. If he is going to be in harm's way, having fun, or even bored out of his mind, he'd rather do it with them, logistics be damned.

Spock dearest Spock knows this is all illogical. Not just not advised by Starfleet, but truly a risky choice but he says nothing. None of his quips about humans, not of his protestations in the face of Kirk Choas or McCoy's emotion. He never calls out this pattern of behavior as a fault. Perhaps because he thinks their combined skills make it work the risks, but that feeds into it even more.

They are inseparable when their roles should inherently keep them in close communication, but with physical distance in all risk situations. They choose to take the risk, to face the crises together. Therefore.... husbands. Hazards to their crew, but in love hazards.

Me *pauses Startrek in middle of sex scene*

I lied I don't care about the sexy aliens... I need to explain the entire lore of the Kobayashi Maru. *rants*

Actually, no let me explain the history of the Orions too.

Bashir's parents augmented him and he's still neurodivergent (and gay for an alien spy). My favorite GMO CMO.

can't sleep too busy thinking about star trek iv
