my favorite part of star trek is the fact that it teaches you to see the greatness in people.

there’s the repeat offender who flirts with everyone, but we learn that he’s a damn genius and has a heart the size of the universe and he’d offer his life to save people he barely knows.

there’s the cantankerous, workaholic, alcohol loving grump who is known for his terrible bed-side manner, but he is also the one snuck his best friend on board a starfleet flagship because he couldn’t dare to see him so sad and alone.

there’s the stoic, unemotional vulcan that didn’t cry when he lost his mother, but he risked his life in order to stop a volcanic eruption so that he didn’t have to see another civilization go endangered.

star trek gives us broken people and then shows us that there is a chance to do better no matter what bad you do, no matter how many times you screw up.

Can we just take a moment to once again appreciate how:

  • close they stand together
  • they have eyesex in public
  • they flirt in the most obvious manner ever
  • actually fucking married they are

Don’t forget how Jim carried around the book that Spock gave him as a birthday gift for the first ten minutes of the movie, then came on board the Enterprise still holding it, and was (I’m pretty sure) reading it in his cabin at the end. You know, after The Glass Scene.
