I try to be a multifandom blog, but if anything, I reblog mostly what’s on my dash. So basically a lot of Supernatural, Star Trek here and there, and maybe some other fandoms too. I also write and draw a bit, but yeah.</description><title>a courageous frog</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @easyongo)</generator><link>http://easyongo.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>ladyyatexel:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What’s funny about this is that in &lt;em&gt;Star Trek&lt;/em&gt; he’s quoting Sherlock Holmes, but in &lt;em&gt;Sherlock&lt;/em&gt; he’s quoting Spock.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although the original quote was from Sherlock Holmes. It was used in TOS and then in Star Trek (2009) as a reference to SH. Then in Sherlock 2x02, Sherlock says it and John calls him ‘Spock’ as though it’s a reference to Star Trek and Wibbly Wobbly Inception of the quote, yo.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Canonically Spock is a descendant of Sherlock Holmes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wait, really? ^^^^&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yep. Star Trek 6 Spock says “An ancestor of mine once said ‘If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains however improbable must be the truth.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;!-- more --&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Basically, you didn&amp;#8217;t need to have watched the Pilot because sneaky Roddenberry put it in here so it&amp;#8217;s just a pain watching it again ahaha&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;But yesssssss&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;I like the fact that HEY NOW ESTABLISHING FAR BACK SHOT is the first thing we see&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also ffffffff what happened to Pike&amp;#8212;god, I was prepared by a meme, but SHIT. This is Pike&amp;#8217;s first appearance if we ignore The Cage (and even then it&amp;#8217;s not the same actor). But I loved Kirk&amp;#8217;s steadfast belief in Spock&amp;#8212;that is must have been changed if it wasn&amp;#8217;t recorded by computer logs. And yet in the end, Kirk has to be forced to make the decision&amp;#8212;he has to entertain the facts that either someone diverted the Enterprise&amp;#8217;s course to the starbase, or someone made up that request&amp;#8212;could that someone be Spock?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And I really loved how McCoy asserted everything on the person who lied NOT being Spock. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Holy shit though&amp;#8212;Spock keeping check on Kirk and yet finding out that Kirk has already pushed the limits of the shuttle&amp;#8212;Kirk&amp;#8217;s forcing him into a position like this&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and Kirk and the other dude in the shuttle&amp;#8212;Kirk&amp;#8217;s like you had no right to come aboard, notes that two hours of oxygen left, and his next thought is hoping the Enterprise never comes back so that Spock can never be court-martialed. He&amp;#8217;s really loyal and worried for him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And it&amp;#8217;s really interesting too&amp;#8212;because at this point you&amp;#8217;re wondering why the hell would Spock do all of this? And then he turns himself over once the engines are gone&amp;#8212;he wants to be in for mutiny. This is how he can save both the Captain and the other dude, and at the same time guarantee the goal that is reaching Talos IV.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh dang though, the preliminary hearing is interesting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CRIES THOUGH FUN FACT DID YOU KNOW THAT COMMODORES GET THE SAME WORK AS ADMIRALS BUT THEY GET HALF THE PAY? Now you know this Navy information tidbit. Or at least, the origin of the rank. Aren&amp;#8217;t you glad you read this? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;General court martial now FFFF&amp;#8212;also hey nifty uniforms&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;OH I JUST REALIZED IT by the time they were like, are we gonna continue? Pike what is your decision.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SPOCK WANTS TO GO TO TALOS IV AND GET THE PEOPLE TO GIVE PIKE HIS BODY AND EVERYTHING BACK&amp;#8212;I bet they&amp;#8217;ll say no or something&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s really interesting though how they went about going all like TALOS IV GAVE US THESE THINGS that&amp;#8217;s why it&amp;#8217;s so hi-def and awesome tv-show like&amp;#8212;but then the Captain got stripped of command and the Commodore got it&amp;#8212;and Spock was like HE DIDN&amp;#8217;T KNOW and the Commodore was like THE CAPTAIN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS ON HIS SHIP&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And Spock asking Kirk to keep it going&amp;#8212;and god, geebus. That&amp;#8217;s a lot to ask of trust.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also I really like the Commodore. His actor is great holy shit. Really good officer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AND HEY THEY CARE ABOUT CAPTAIN PIKE awww&amp;lt;3 They stopped because they know he&amp;#8217;s fatigued.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Number one is like guys pls&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;cries tho Pike has a whole harem going on here&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ahhhhhh Kirk reasserts that even then, Spock could have asked him&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and Spock says that only one of them had needed to face the death penaliy&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Though the &amp;#8220;display of emotionalism&amp;#8221;, no reason to insult Spock indeed. I&amp;#8217;m just really not knowing what exactly that means, so hopefully I&amp;#8217;ll come across some meta in it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But ergh damn, should never have watched The Cage because i didn&amp;#8217;t get to enjoy these episodes as I would&amp;#8217;ve liked. Bleh.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://easyongo.tumblr.com/post/52834453471</link><guid>http://easyongo.tumblr.com/post/52834453471</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Jun 2013 21:50:00 -0400</pubDate><category>chris watches star trek</category><category>star trek</category><category>star trek TOS</category><category>my thoughts</category></item><item><title>s1e10 the corbomite maneuver </title><description>&lt;p&gt;first off: KIRK IN A QUARTERLY PHYSICAL and shirtless.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- more --&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Have you noticed both times that he&amp;#8217;s completely comfortable with bridge coming up and seeing him shirtless? Also, Bones being all like if I told you everytime the red alert came on, I&amp;#8217;d be talking to myself&amp;#8212;which really speaks about how little time they always have. And honestly, not complaining about shirtless shatner, but I feel that&amp;#8217;s like some kind of fanservice ahaha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, &amp;#8220;i&amp;#8217;ll let you know when this becomes a democracy&amp;#8221; I&amp;#8217;m CRYING KIRK&amp;#8217;S WITTY ahhahaha&amp;lt;3 what a babe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;also can I say how Kirk consulting his senior/bridge crew in a meeting room on major decisions IS VERY NICE??? Yo, can we have some new fic that does this? /note to self write some AOS fic that does this. Because wow yes. Also bridge is no place for a meeting, but I get the points, but everyone&amp;#8217;s always yelling over each other in the new movie to be heard ahahaha too fast.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I also really like how Kirk takes initiative over reprimanding Bailey&amp;#8212;it&amp;#8217;s curt, it&amp;#8217;s professional, and it&amp;#8217;s very reminiscent how there&amp;#8217;s kind of no-nonsense. They&amp;#8217;re still in the military. Also I really love how Kirk has the best interests of the crew in mind&amp;#8212;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;phaser crew = slow in locking them into directional feed&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;engineering decks = faster, program series of attacks &amp;amp; evasive maneuvers until they get it&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but it&amp;#8217;s really interesting how even though from Bones we learn that Bailey kind of reminds Kirk of himself 11 years ago&amp;#8212;Kirk isn&amp;#8217;t pulling any punches. Also, I think Bailey is personally way in over his head&amp;#8212;that kid is still wet-nosed and really new from how he reacts and still comments bitterly over earlier in the episode about Spock&amp;#8212;yo, dude, talking rough about higher ranked officers IS NOT A COOL THING TO DO WE LEARN THIS NUMBER ONE THING IN CADETS, WHERE DO YOU GET OFF ON TALKING THEM OFF. But uhhh yeah, he&amp;#8217;s really new, he&amp;#8217;s not good at panicking&amp;#8212;I think Kirk has moved him too &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OH SHIT TURNS OUT KIRK PROMOTED HIM TOO FAST&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;yeah bro, that is NOT A GOOD IDEA definitely. With us in Air Cadets, there was this huge gap in NCMs vs the younger cadets, but if you promote them too fast, they don&amp;#8217;t know SHIT. They don&amp;#8217;t know how things work, they don&amp;#8217;t have time to perfect the drill or everything else&amp;#8212;these are tips and tricks that you learn along the way, and Bailey is certainly too young. Maybe Kirk wants to push Bailey the way he was pushed a long time ago&amp;#8212;because he sees the potential. But Bailey probably isn&amp;#8217;t really ready!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kirk are you stressed out or something and taking it out on everyone&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OMG CRIES MCCOY HAD KIRK&amp;#8217;S DIET CARD CHANGED also yaaaay Kirk has his Yeoman (or is Rand Sulu&amp;#8217;s? I&amp;#8217;ll never keep track) looking out to make sure he&amp;#8217;s eating.&amp;#8212;oohhh, only has one female to worry about and that&amp;#8217;s the Enterprise&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;fuck, the thing about starship captains being in love with their ships&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;THIS IS A THING TO REMEMBER EVERYONE INCLUDING ME THANK YOU LET US ALL WRITE ABOUT TRAGIC LOVE STORIES&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;by the way see how Kirk barely ate before he&amp;#8217;s BAM BAM GOING?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Geebus, yeah, no wonder everyone is kind of looking out for him&amp;#8212;meanwhile AOS Kirk, you wanna both just take care of and punch him in the face and force-feed him&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ALso, have you noticed that in TOS, McCoy and Scotty are on the bridge a lot more frequently&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also Bailey shut UP DON&amp;#8217;T WHINE WHINING WILL NOT HELP ANYTHING I am kind of upset about how opinionated he is&amp;#8212;usually that&amp;#8217;s supposed to be a good thing, but if he&amp;#8217;s cracking from the stress and this is his initial response, it ain&amp;#8217;t good to be in a position of this much power, McCoy was kind of right, Kirk&amp;#8212;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OKAY I AM SO IRRITATED AT HIM RN BAILEY OF COURSE THEY KNOW THEY&amp;#8217;RE KIND OF FUCKED WHAT THE FUCK MAN DO YOU THINK THIS IS THEIR FIRST RODEO YES, THEY FEEL THE SAME WAY BUT IT&amp;#8217;S NOT LIKE THEY CAN SAY IT OUT LOUD THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A PROFESSIONAL AND MAYBE THEY DON&amp;#8217;T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS BUT THIS IS NOT THE RESPONSE YOU SHOULD BE HAVING YOU&amp;#8217;RE JUST RAISING THE STRESS LEVELS AND YOU&amp;#8217;RE NOT HELPING ANYTHING HOLY SHIT SIT DOWN AND SETTLE DOWN OR LET SOMEONE ELSE TAKE THE HELMS&amp;#8212;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes okay, Kirk did a thing &amp;#8220;Bailey, you&amp;#8217;re relieved&amp;#8221;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ALSO kIRK IS PISSED BECAUSE THE ALIENS DIDN&amp;#8217;T LISTEN holly hella damn okay they totally didn&amp;#8217;t have a chance to get away man the probe was going to FUCKING KILL THEM &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;wow these goddamned aliens are pigheaded assholes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OMG tho Spock was like &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m s&amp;#8212;I regret that I can find no other logical alternative&amp;#8221; also when he called Kirk over he said &amp;#8220;Jim&amp;#8221; aiy&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;arGH Kirk having expected too much from Bailey&amp;#8212;it&amp;#8217;s having regressions&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BonES IS HERE TO REMIND YOU of things&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and Kirk is losing his temper&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;both of them are kind of playing the political professional game dance around each other kind of? ARGH THOUGH the stress yiKES THE BRIDGE CREW BE STARIN yikes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;oh oh It&amp;#8217;s not chess, it&amp;#8217;s POKER&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;LET&amp;#8217;S SEE WHAT KIRK HAS&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;cORBOMITEOH DANG&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BIG BLUFF&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ohohohoh&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Spock being like yii it didn&amp;#8217;t work but it was well done&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kirk apologizing to Bones and Bones admitting that he shouldn&amp;#8217;t have brought it up in such a stressful time&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WOW YES YES&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A-AHHHH BAILEY COMES BACK AND REQUESTS PERMISSION YES GOOD KID YOU HAVE IT IN YOU OKAY YOU CAN DO THIS (basically  okay if you go back and try to right the wrongs with your best shot, good on you okay, there&amp;#8217;s never a standstill) also they have less time too, he&amp;#8217;s coming back, he&amp;#8217;s really brave go you Bailey&amp;#8212;must&amp;#8217;ve cried a bit too yii&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;just had a thought though, wouldn&amp;#8217;t it be funny if it turned out the coffee saved the day&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;seriously though, Kirk is really good at bluffing wow&amp;#8212;I can also connect this to AOS him, who is kind of cocky at times and takes huge risks no other Captain would&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;YAAAYYY&amp;lt;3&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;omg Kirk is really pushing the Enterprise&amp;#8212;super heating engines and everything yow dang&amp;#8212;despite how much he loves the lady, he takes her as far as she can go and further&amp;#8212;dang HOLY SHIT AFTER THE ENGINES HE GOES FOR THE IMPULSE HOLY SHIT man, this entire crew probably thinks Kirk is cray-cray, but they believe in him so much okay, THEY&amp;#8217;LL DO IT, THEY&amp;#8217;LL TRUST IN THEIR CAPTAIN&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I want a fic in which the crew gets used to Kirk and that&amp;#8217;s how they get to be the best of the best&amp;#8212;and that&amp;#8217;s why people in Kirk&amp;#8217;s senior team really are prepared for almost every crazy thing&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a-awww Kirk is really compassionate even to the First Federation vessel that was under orders to tow them away&amp;#8212;a life is a life&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OH he&amp;#8217;s aware it may be a trap too&amp;#8212;yeaaaahh&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the fact that he&amp;#8217;s willing to sort of guide Bailey onto it&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;gotta say the phasers look more like the SHIT FUCK TAZING ThinGS&amp;#8212;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;can&amp;#8217;t say I&amp;#8217;m happy with how the episode ended, but it was okay. But you do learn quite a bit more, so I guess there&amp;#8217;s not anything bad with it. AHahaha, I guess I expected something huge.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://easyongo.tumblr.com/post/52826140964</link><guid>http://easyongo.tumblr.com/post/52826140964</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Jun 2013 19:51:51 -0400</pubDate><category>chris watches star trek</category><category>star trek</category><category>star trek TOS</category><category>my thoughts</category><category>argh i think i lost touch with what i most wanted to say as i went on but oh well</category></item><item><title>itreallyisthelittlethings:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I didn’t choose the fandom life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fandom life broke into my house in the middle of the night and said “Dad’s on a hunting trip, and hasn’t been home in a few days.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description><link>http://easyongo.tumblr.com/post/52793361036</link><guid>http://easyongo.tumblr.com/post/52793361036</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Jun 2013 11:30:23 -0400</pubDate><category>supernatural</category><category>GODDAMMIT</category></item><item><title>thoughts on AOS Kirk and TOS Kirk</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;!-- more --&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;(I&amp;#8217;m half asleep and whatever I wrote is probably bluH? so it&amp;#8217;s okay ahahaha)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;now that I&amp;#8217;m actually semi-marathoning the TOS, I&amp;#8217;m really starting to get thinky at how utterly different AOS Kirk seems to be from his TOS counterpart&amp;#8212;it&amp;#8217;s really hard to sort of comopare the two&amp;#8212;and that&amp;#8217;s not in the &amp;#8216;oh that&amp;#8217;s because he&amp;#8217;s older now&amp;#8217; kind of way. He seems to be an entirely different person. I guess it&amp;#8217;s also because of how modernized he&amp;#8217;s made to be and how if we go about it, the AOS literally is an alternate universe that isn&amp;#8217;t a younger version of them that got altered, but just another alternate universe a bit closer to mirror verse. Err, in other words, waldorph&amp;#8217;s headcanon that AOS is actually not a younger TOS directly, but a younger TOS alternate universe, hence weapons, technology, everything.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But there&amp;#8217;s a lot of discrepancies, and I think the &amp;#8216;raw-ness&amp;#8217; is a tough pill to swallow. Because right now, I think AOS Kirk really is an entirely different kind of Kirk, and that&amp;#8217;s not bad.  &lt;span&gt;But yeah, I think with modernization comes a lot of different characterizations. AOS Kirk really just likes sex (which totally isn&amp;#8217;t bad). TOS Kirk wants a relationship. Granted, there&amp;#8217;s like a little less than ten years, so probably once AOS Kirk&amp;#8217;s settled down a bit and more comfortable in his role&amp;#8212;I mean, he hasn&amp;#8217;t had a time to get used to his crew. WOW YES I WOULD LIKE A TRANSFORMATION TRANSITION FIC someone go write this vision of loveliness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s going to be great magnum opus to anyone who can feasibly mesh a AOS Kirk transition to some aspect of the TOS Kirk, because that&amp;#8217;s always been lovely.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because wow, can&amp;#8217;t wait to see the Kirk that becomes. Ngl though, half of why I love old shows so much is that they let older actors be the main characters hehehe. Older people got the charm charm pow those young &amp;#8216;uns be rockin&amp;#8217; our style~&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://easyongo.tumblr.com/post/52774810913</link><guid>http://easyongo.tumblr.com/post/52774810913</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Jun 2013 02:57:11 -0400</pubDate><category>my thoughts</category><category>i probably am illogical and not very solid and stable</category></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b176c6da92643ad76f7cfd9dde0082df/tumblr_mo93pjRxwg1qhghmso1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e086673c2de707b71ba1fb84c8958043/tumblr_mo93pjRxwg1qhghmso2_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://easyongo.tumblr.com/post/52771064372</link><guid>http://easyongo.tumblr.com/post/52771064372</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Jun 2013 01:36:43 -0400</pubDate><category>actor feels</category><category>CRIES</category><category>Zachary Quinto</category><category>Chris Pine</category><category>Chris FINE</category><category>Captain Fine</category><category>Chris Pine Captain Fine</category><category>i still don't know why I have four tags for chris pine</category><category>I suspsect it may have some idea that i saw some chris fine tags and was like fine</category><category>but then I was like why not captain fine</category><category>but then i wanted cp and cf together so i melded them</category><category>like a mind meld</category><category>how to draw jim kirk</category><category>hello sir refERENCES</category></item><item><title>s1ep8 miri and s1ep9 dagger of the mind</title><description>&lt;p&gt;MIRI IS A CUTIE. Also I like seeing Kirk pick up and carry kids. It&amp;#8217;s really cute for some reason.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- more --&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;KIDS WERE KIND OF MEAN THO&amp;#8212;I thought we were going to have some grupp&amp;#8212;but Kirk was very pleading to a group of kids who didn&amp;#8217;t want to listen. I kind of think it wouldn&amp;#8217;t work, but something must&amp;#8217;ve gotten through, so yay. KIRK&amp;#8217;S COMMENT ON NOT GETTING INVOLVED WITH OLDER WOMEN THO, HAHAHA&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DAGGER OF THE MIND OMG Spock is like Kirk pls or is like just sassy eyebrow raise when it comes to the assistant McCoy recommended and Kirk is like &amp;#8216;shit&amp;#8217;. ALSO WHEN she&amp;#8217;s like DOCTOR ADAMS did it to you and Kirk&amp;#8217;s like what AND THEN HE SEES SPOCK WHO&amp;#8217;S RAISING AN EYEBROW AND BEING ALL LIKE &amp;#8216;ahem&amp;#8217; and sass&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;a-all my sad though. the being alone by the machine, without even the tormentor HGHGNhgGH that&amp;#8217;s really a big loneliness someone should write some more exploring that FFFF (i&amp;#8217;m really a feeling person but then the part of me that goes CONCEPT CONCEPT!!! is also a part of me too ffff)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;FUCK THO &amp;#8220;it&amp;#8217;s hard to believe a man could die of loneliness&amp;#8221; AND JIM&amp;#8217;S FACE&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;JIM IS AFRAID OF BEING ALONE HE JUST WANTS SOMEONE TO WALK ON THE BEACH WITH&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;not when you&amp;#8217;ve sat in that room&amp;#8221; AND THEN HE LOOKS AT SPOCK&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;y&amp;#8217;know, I read somewhere that the TOS is basically Jim and Spock flirting all the way, and the movies are them being space husbands married&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ngl there are some moments but mostly i&amp;#8217;m just sighing and heart-clenching the more I learn about them because they&amp;#8217;re all my babies&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;/wow this is awkward considering&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but I treasure them all so and I wish them no harm and I just wish everything would be great for them but then I get upset when it doesn&amp;#8217;t and I want to spoil them but I also want them to grow&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;LAUGHS OKAY I&amp;#8217;M DONE&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://easyongo.tumblr.com/post/52770072329</link><guid>http://easyongo.tumblr.com/post/52770072329</guid><pubDate>Wed, 12 Jun 2013 01:18:31 -0400</pubDate><category>chris watches star trek</category><category>star trek TOS</category><category>i like TOS</category><category>it is a plethora of lovely things</category><category>also bow bow wowow</category><category>i forget her name but that was a nice badass thing the doctor helen/helena did</category><category>star trek</category><category>my thoughts</category></item><item><title>s1e07: what are little girls made of?</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Yeee, interesting episode!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- more --&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kirk is friendly with his crew, and yet he maintains that careful balance between friendliness and rank. He knows everyone of his crew by name and rank, he looks out for them and he cares for them. With Christine, he&amp;#8217;s very amiable (personally I&amp;#8217;m saddened by the decision of the new movie to just brush her off), and he knows about her personal life and they&amp;#8217;re good friends enough that he knows about Roger and everything, but that doesn&amp;#8217;t disturb the balance of their military background. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ALSO EACH LOSS OF HIS CREWMEN CAUSES KIRK TO BE SUPER SAD. Whoever says he doesn&amp;#8217;t care or is just a playa, you need to reevaluate. Plus the thing with Andrea was to get outta there, man. Ain&amp;#8217;t no playa there. Kirk&amp;#8217;s pretty smart too. He figured really fast that he had to think about something that would clue Spock into what was wrong&amp;#8212;like damn, I wouldn&amp;#8217;t be able to think that fast&amp;#8212;especially since how can you guarantee Spock would know something was wrong, or that you would encounter Spock?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also him asking Christine about if he asked her to betray Roger&amp;#8212;a-aww. Also him and android him having a duke off talk about why eating is awesome and why humans are great. The thing I like about the TOS episodes is that they always have the things to think about: this one was about hey is androids that good? Are superior human beings that good? Ish, about hey uhm if we got rid of fear and hunger and wars, even then, what about love and compassion? What&amp;#8217;s the meaning of it if we destroy it? Also found it really interesting too that Roger was like BUT NO ONE WILL DIE and I was like lmao Rock killed people bro i don&amp;#8217;t think you have much of a thing to go by&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;anyway just my love to the friendship and professional relationship of Christine and Kirk! Kirk also holding her hand when she was scared aww&amp;lt;3 Because, y&amp;#8217;know those things exist&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SPOCK IS LIKE 8| &amp;#8220;half-breed&amp;#8221; tho&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pretty much the Kirk tease and flirt there ahahaheheh&amp;lt;3 BASICALLY I LOVE ALL THE EPISODES THAT SHOW ME MORE ABOUT HOW KIRK IS WITH HIS CREW AND HOW KIRK IS&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;wow characterizations are gr8&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://easyongo.tumblr.com/post/52756527450</link><guid>http://easyongo.tumblr.com/post/52756527450</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Jun 2013 21:58:24 -0400</pubDate><category>chris watches star trek</category><category>star trek</category><category>star trek TOS</category><category>my thoughts</category><category>mmhmmm</category><category>how to characterize 101</category></item><item><title>Mudd's Women</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Mudd is really fun. I like him as a character. I need to write a story in which he appears in AOS and he tries to recruit Kirk to help him out when Kirk is down on his luck or something. He&amp;#8217;s like that really fun kind of character you just never knew you wanted, but can be explored so well. EXCITING ADVENTURES and dramatically dark turns around! Charismatic and lovely. I like Mudd a lot.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Also really like that Kirk is very direct, and he asks after Eve’s opinion, making sure she’s okay with staying here, if this is what she wants. ALSO I LIKE THE SORT OF LOVE STORY BETWEEN EVE AND THE MINER. Also, McCoy and Spock banter is best. THOUGH NOT GONNA LIE THOUGH, SPOCK HAVING ALL THAT SASS being like &amp;#8220;pls&amp;#8221; the entire episode was great.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://easyongo.tumblr.com/post/52751874344</link><guid>http://easyongo.tumblr.com/post/52751874344</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:52:56 -0400</pubDate><category>chris watches star trek</category><category>star trek</category><category>star trek TOS</category><category>my thoughts</category><category>fanfic ideas</category></item><item><title>s1e05: The enemy within</title><description>&lt;p&gt;GOOD EPISODE. I like episodes that teach me more about characterization.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;!-- more --&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Captain of the crew. Can’t afford to be anything but perfect in the eyes of the crew. If he does, they lose faith and Kirk loses command. SPOCK KNEW IMMEDIATELY IT COULDN&amp;#8217;T BE THE CAPTAIN. Bless Spock.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The more compassionate part of Kirk is how much he worries and cares. How much he&amp;#8217;s so intrinsically honest&amp;#8212;we can say (maybe? I&amp;#8217;m no psychologist) that maybe this was how he was, before he had to develop more of a sharper personality that combined both compassion and another one that you need to function as a human being&amp;#8212;not telling everyone everything, working things out&amp;#8212;especially as captain and etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;The base of Kirk’s darker personality is his identity. He’s Captain of the ship. He wants a relationship and he’ll do anything to get it&amp;#8212;baseless, animal, violating his coworker. He’ll cover his own tracks. He&amp;#8217;s paranoid, suspicious, and he doesn&amp;#8217;t trust that he&amp;#8217;ll ever be safe&amp;#8212;he&amp;#8217;s always looking over his shoulder. He’s super dark, and won&amp;#8217;t stop at anything to get what he wants.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Oh my god. He’s super clever, manipulative. This is the darker aspect of Jim. He’s aware of the ship layout. To avoid being found, he’ll go to the lower levels. This is the Jim aspect that’s more apparent than the regular Jim in the mirror verse. He’s learned how to use his  (also at one point I thought he had Chris Pine shaped eyes and was like HOLY FUCKING CHRIST I SEE WHY THE CASTING HAPPENED) resources, rely on himself, and just. God.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;You really need both.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;BEING CAPTAIN IS HARD.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;(only half-way at the episode at this point. Will edit as I go through.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;OH MY GOD DARKER PART OF KIRK&amp;#8217;S PERSONALITY IS REALLY UNORTHODOX&amp;#8212;HE&amp;#8217;S ON TOP OF THE ENGINEERING THINGS. He has courage to do things that&amp;#8217;ll make him get hurt if he&amp;#8217;s not careful&amp;#8212;because those are necessities. This is a Kirk that uses his environment. He&amp;#8217;s always thinking several steps ahead, but this one is really intense. Yow damn.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Holy snap the man&amp;#8217;s a really good tracker/sneaker-by kind of thing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Oh, oh, but also he&amp;#8217;s plenty scared of light/err nicer/more compassionate Kirk. He&amp;#8217;s maybe really apprehensive of it, can&amp;#8217;t predict him, really paranoid so he&amp;#8217;s not sure what&amp;#8217;s going to be happening. OH MY GOD DARKER KIRK IS REALLY SCARED kind of&amp;#8212;because why would he keep reiterating he&amp;#8217;s the Captain&amp;#8212;because he knows he doesn&amp;#8217;t deserve it, maybe? Maybe because he&amp;#8217;s so scared of it being taken from him? Hrmm. Nothing is very solid or reassured with him. He&amp;#8217;s always looking over his shoulder. Always expecting. ohhh can&amp;#8217;t kill himm hrrmm&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;GHHHK &amp;#8220;you need me. i need you.&amp;#8221; I AM HIT IN THE FEELINGS&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#8220;I DON&amp;#8217;T NEED YOU.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Also it&amp;#8217;s really interesting because normally Kirk knows what to do. He&amp;#8217;s assertive with his orders when he gives them, and he gives an assertive tone. Compassionate Kirk is never good at taking initiative. Everyone&amp;#8217;s pace is kind of faster&amp;#8212;in the kind of way I feel like he would be more at home happier just having friends and everything &lt;span&gt;and never having to deal with violence and politics.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#8220;you&amp;#8217;re rapidly losing the power of decision&amp;#8221; well ain&amp;#8217;t that just swell&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;#8220;roles of good and evil in a man&amp;#8221;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;that is well said&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;hostility, lust, violence&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;compassion, love, tender&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;hrmmm SPOCK RAISES GOOD POINTS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;what makes a man fit for command? Mind you, you kind of learn all of this when you&amp;#8217;re in a military structure&amp;#8212;you earn your rank, you earn the respect. Respect is earned, not given. But you also aren&amp;#8217;t the friends of your subordinates. You have to be willing to yell at them for their mistakes, assert punishments, you have to take that all on you. It&amp;#8217;s the evil side&amp;#8212;so really, evil isn&amp;#8217;t bad if properly disciplined and used (ish?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Intellect. Hrmmm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;a-awww Spock feeling the need to explain to him&amp;#8212;&amp;#8220;if you think i&amp;#8217;m &lt;/span&gt;insensitive&lt;span&gt; to how you&amp;#8217;re feeling [&amp;#8230;] it&amp;#8217;s how I am&amp;#8221; (ISH)&amp;#8212;KIND OF TO REASSURE HIM a-arggh&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;OMG THE CREWMEMBERS ON THE PLANET ARE SO HUDDLING TOGETHER it&amp;#8217;s really cute i&amp;#8217;m sorry&amp;#8212;fuck tho at this rate they&amp;#8217;ll freeze to death fucuccck heating up the rocks with phasers to stay warm fffffffff&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;OH MY GOD SULU AND KIRK ARE SORT OF making jokes in bad situations is this how they deal with it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;oh shit NEGATIVE KIRK u ok sir you&amp;#8217;re screaming a lot everything&amp;#8217;s on the higher end for you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;McCoy is a steady two hands on him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;shitttt he&amp;#8217;s dying.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;(ngl though this is like a love story.) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Compassionate kIrk: don&amp;#8217;t be afraid here&amp;#8217;s my hand hold on&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;OH MY GOD negative kirk is really scared of things, well it makes sense&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;HOLD ONNNN oh he gets back&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;strength of command relies mostly on the negative; the intelligence and logic the positive has&amp;#8212;ohhh THAT MAKES SENSE&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;OH YEAH CALLED IT, HE WAS AFRAID NEGATIVE (okay this is slowly degenerating to just me making comments as I watch ahahaha)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;omg the little puppy horn fur-ball thing is SO CUTE I LITERALLY CAN&amp;#8217;T what is this specimen called omg it&amp;#8217;s such a baby babe cutie dog pie in cutie dog suits (i&amp;#8217;m sorry I&amp;#8217;m just)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;oh SHIT&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#8220;he&amp;#8217;s dead jim&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;THAT&amp;#8217;S&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;WHERE IT COMES FROM   &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#8220;JIM YOU CAN&amp;#8217;T RISK YOUR LIFE ON A THEORY&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;ahahaha that was the series&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;OH SPOCK. He survives because intelligence works over both.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;a-awww his friends. &amp;#8220;the decision is yours.&amp;#8221;REALLY SAD MUSIC. /strinnnngsss&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;117 BELOW ZERO DUDE THEY&amp;#8217;RE GONNA DIE FUCK (wait is this Fahrenheit or Celsius)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#8220;what are you going to do&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;etc&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;n: &amp;#8220;there&amp;#8217;s nothing I can do to stop you&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;p: &amp;#8220;it&amp;#8217;s what I have to do, what we have to do.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;n: &amp;#8220;i won&amp;#8217;t fight you anymore. I feel so weak. be glad when this is over.&amp;#8221;/ COLLAPSES&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&amp;#8220;can half a man live&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;oh goodness negative kirk is really scared of death and doesn&amp;#8217;t want to be made to die, he&amp;#8217;s so scared he wants to live&amp;#8212;positive kirk is reassuring&lt;/p&gt;
