to this day I can't understand why they're called the Three Musketeers if there's FOUR of them? Did Dumas just forget his own main character???

After months of taking care of everyone else on this giant tin can I really earned this shore leave. Now I get to drink, relax, flirt with some lovely ladies and sleep until noon 😎 Just what the the doctor ordered!

Despite being among humans for close to a decade, I still find their tendency to overcomplicate and avoid aspects of social situations to be confusing at best and infuriating at worst. So much time is wasted on tedious matters such as who gets to 'make the first move' or 'not come off too strong'.
For example, everyone aboard my vessel is keenly aware of Lt. Uhura and Engineer Scott's 'budding romance'. But their need to extend their oddly avoidant courtship ritual, rather than outright state their interest in one another, is pointless, as well as frustrating to witness.
Why do they do this? Why not 'get it over with', as they say?
I encourage answers from all cultures, human or otherwise.

PSA: If you visit Antares VII, stay clear of any yellow plants, their pollen can have some...inconvenient effects on the biology of humanoid peoples.
My XO and I suffered through troubling symptoms until it was almost too late. Thankfully, we figured out a cure in time.

I can only find info on the symptoms. What was the cure? 👀

I know some species are very private, but you'd think they'd share the important stuff, esp when we should trust each other by now.
How are we supposed to enjoy my weekly dinners if you all don't tell me what to watch out for :/ This is the third time this happens to the same person and I had to get the answer why from our CMO

why r the snw uniforms so tit-tastic. a star trek man puts a strange new worlds shirt on and suddenly hes breasting boobily down the enterprise hallway. science please explain
Since we finally have Scotty do you think we could possibly get some wholesome Uhotty going next season?
He fixes something on her comm board, they maybe discuss Hemmer, or being survivours of disasters that left them alone in life for a bit, Pelia locks them in a supply closet...
So
I finally had time to watch Hegemony
and you would not believe the sound I made when it fucking ended on TO BE CONTINUED

THE NERVE!!!!
Leaving us hanging off that cliff for a YEAR? Possibly more??
Favourites of the Musical Episode
- Uhura starting all this by beaming Anything Goes at the zipper fold. Nyota, you fucking NERD
- Spock straight up not having a good time
- Number One and Kirk dancing through the hallways
- La’An trying very hard not to sing and running to her room to sing her gut-wrenching ballad in private 😭
- Pike’s general ????? reaction every time the singing happens
- The acapella rendition of the opening credits theme
- Chapel getting a sexy club number to say ‘lol sorry this proved much more than I can handle I’m gonna go dig up proto-surgical tools byeeeee’ I mean, it’s horrible, and it’s definitely going to fuck with his head that he took this risk and gave T’Pring very good reason to kal-i-fee him now but it’s also...relatable? Girl has serious wartime PTSD and attachment issues and was fine letting this crush just expire in its own time but got too impulsive and shit got too serious because, Vulcan, and she couldn’t ghost him while they were on the same ship.
- Spock’s dark, emo pop-rock realization that he should go kolinahr now
- Number One’s comforting confession song to La’An and it lifting them off their feet 🥺
- Uhura getting her own ballad in Engineering and that bit at the end where she belts and we get the full-view of the section with the lights was 😩👌 babygirl still needs therapy and an emotional support dog tho
- The solution to the singing problem being just more singing but a big cast number that overwhelms the zipper fold into combusting like New Years fireworks
- The fucking Klingons’ getting roped in at the last second to add their aggro rap-pop boyband tantrum to the cause!!!!
this episode was a 1701 out of 10 great job everyone
So, aside from making me grin like an idiot the entire time the musical episode did deliver some gut-punches still
like OOF the second I start being like ‘hey maybe I can ship this’ about Kirk and La’An they drop that bombshell about Carol Marcus like can La’An have a good day for ONCE also Kirk had to keep looking at her Like That™ the entire episode too??? WHORE
Still, am glad we got some Number One/La’An quality time this episode
also Uhura needs one of those curly little lapdogs to follow her everywhere and sleep in her arms, or for one of the crew to become her very invasive best friend. I nominate Ortegas since Chapel is about to bounce and leave a very sad and confused Vulcan in her wake
Hope Pike bakes Spock something with chocolate because boy is going to need it
Going from the silliness of the Lower Decks crossover to M’Benga and Chapel’s Klingon trauma in one week was some serious tonal whiplash
Like I went from laughing out loud to just 😵💫
but it did feel very TNG so once again SNW is proving it is the Trekkiest of Star Trek shows 💙
I know I talked about this before and how they probably can just vid-call a psychologist but, for the love of starlight somebody assign a Betazoid therapist to the Enterprise. Like they need someone on-board already, they can’t all keep going like this!
also is uhh...is anyone else crack-shipping Ortegas and Chapel?
starlightervarda reblogged
Having not seen him in anything else including Lower Decks, I really gotta give Jack Quaid props. His physical acting was SO on point. He was essentially playing a cartoon in a world of live action and his performance felt like that. The way he carried himself, his movements and comedic timing were all so spot on. I was pretty impressed.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2.06 - Lost in Translation
Can we talk about how this episode was an almost positive spin on the ‘go mad with revelation’ trope associated with someone encountering the incomprehensible?
Instead of ending up destroyed like Lovecraftian protagonists that have gazed into the void by accident or from curiosity, the void pursued and almost fried Uhura’s temporal lobe while trying to drag her to the scene of the emergency like a distressed dog.
But instead of using its teeth to tug at the hem of her trousers and lead her to the problem it, just, farmed her trauma for jumpscares. Like, they’re trying to spell out H E L P and S T O P but that arrangement in their alphabet is nightmare fuel.
Not out of any malevolence or Outed God horror, it just, overdid the scream for help a little, and I love that.
Hey, Uhura?
What’s the Vulcan word for ‘slut’? Because uhhhhhh

Good day. THIS is the energy I want to see from SNW.
This one goes out to all my fellow spirk fans in the trenches this week. This is obviously the canon reason the SNW writers couldn't introduce Jim Kirk to Spock until this episode had occurred.

Spock + Human Emotion
STRANGE NEW WORLDS // 2x05 "Charades"
Human!Spock was honestly such a treat to see for a full episode. Watching how he goes from relaxing and expressing himself to losing his shit, or just being unable to contain it (~muscle spasms~) was so interesting. Esp to me as someone who went from suppressing / barely reacting to most events to falling apart at the drop of a hat...
All the little details throughout all versions he played starting from Regular!Spock to Human!Spock to Human-Pretending-to-Be-Vulcan!Spock were all so nuanced and fascinating. Like you could see the immediate shift after Chapel gave him the cure just from the look in his eyes!
It’s a shame Ethan Peck won’t get more chances to be chaotic and comedic, because he is funny
