And you're singing the songs

I just watched "This Side of Paradise" and I would like to point out that the plants came all over Spock's (and everyone else's) face. From what I understand, it's only polite to warn someone before you do that.

Also, Spock likes the pretty blonde girl, but there's a man he's promised to be loyal to up on that bridge....

And McCoy can kick your ass without spilling a drop of his Mint Jullip. I'm not sure if that makes him really badass or really protective of his drink.

And how about McCoy's accent? Clearly happiness to him is being back in Georgia and that was pretty awesome.

And near the beginning Sulu was all "I know nothing about farms! I wouldn't know if something was out of place if it were two feet away from me!" and taking up a large portion of the corner of the screen, not two feet away from him, is this giant plant and I was all "Oh, ha ha, TOS, you think you're so clever".

I would also kill to know how McCoy broke two of his ribs (and if the plants healed that...)

I also loved when they were all sarcastic at each other and happy and joking without weird plant influences.

Also, Kirk is really good and verbally abusing Spock. I wonder how much it bothers him to be called a half-breed. (I think new!Spock would have started wailing on Kirk the moment he brought up his mom. Hell no you do not talk shit about Amanda. She is the bestest mommy in the universe.)

Kirk has this weird thing about the violence inherent in humanity. We're all anger and wants and the desire to hurt and kill. I'm sure if pressed he'll also talk about our equal ability to love and feel compassion, but mostly he focuses on the RAWR RAGE aspect.

Finally, McCoy is favorite, but we knew that already.

(also, dvds, why do you not have English subtitles? My life would be happier with them...)

So, I just watched "Balance of Terror" and it was completely awesome. There was a space battle! With Romulans! And it showed how just because they're evil doesn't mean they don't know how to do their jobs! The Romulans, while in the wrong, were still sympathetic characters! It was so cool!

btw, pupasilenti, stop looking at me like that, I think we both know that this show has got me hard. It's only natural I post about it non-stop

ETA: I just started "Shore Leave" and not even three minutes in I have to pause to make wild hand motions at my parents (who find these reactions amusing, apparently). I mean, first Kirk gets a back rub on the bridge which involves saying "harder" and he thinks it's Spock rubbing his back. When he realizes that it's the pretty young Yoeman (for once, not Yoeman Rand, who seems to be a glorified waitress), he has her stop. Then we cut to Sulu and McCoy on the planet and when Sulu goes off to do something vaguely responsible, Bones turns around and there's the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland and I think to myself "Holy shit, Doctor, maybe you should lay off the drugs, omg". I paused before I could see if he goes after the rabbit or not. I may never stop laughing if he does.

So, I just watched the Star Trek episode "The Naked Time".

When I get home, I must have Mom explain how I can get Semagic to post to DW and to cross-post.
