I’ll just leave this here…

the most successful villains in star trek tos are the ones that are smart enough to recognise Kirk’s thirst for Spock and use that to their advantage

your fave is problematic: jim kirk. 

• rips so many shirts which let’s face it causes problems for everyone, wastes fabric, distracts spock, etc
• once hit an andorian in the face with his ass
• keeps going back in time. this is a headache for the entire universe

metatheatre:

that bio of grace lee whitney says that she became depressed and addicted after she was dropped from the series, but that makes it sound like she was, i don’t know, just bitter - it does not mention, for example, that while she was under contract she put herself on diet pills so she could fit into the too-tight uniform, or that she was sexually assaulted by a star trek executive before she was “let go.” i understand that those things might not belong in an obituary, because her life blossomed into so many bigger and better things, but i don’t know, i think we should respect the difficulty of that journey, i think it’s worth remembering that for all we may like to romanticize the original series and the people involved (leonard nimoy, to the credit of his memory, was very supportive of her), this incredible woman went through hell and came back fighting. she absolutely did take back her life, and she even came back to star trek. i think she was pretty amazing. rest peacefully, grace.

Grace Lee Whitney is reported to have died this weekend in her home. She was 85.

I’m sure I’ll have something to say that will give her the honor she deserves later, but right now I have no words.
