Sometimes it’s wise to keep our expectations low, commander. That way we’re never disappointed.

Anson Mount as Captain Christopher Pike STAR TREK: DISCOVERY - “Brother” (2.01)

i think about how effortlessly funny this delivery is a lot. reminder riker is sitting across the table

reblogging yourself feels weird but every now and then this gets a little flutter of new notes and I realise I’ve forgotten about this lovely scene, so have it again folks.

WESLEY

from “For the Love of Spock” (George Takei talking about the time when they wanted to cut him and Nichols/Uhura out of Star Trek and Nimoy was having none of it)

He also used his clout to fight for equal pay for Nichelle Nichols. Gene Roddenberry called him “the conscience of Star Trek.”

Reason #1701 why I love Leonard

George is speaking of TAS, when they were going to only have Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scott and Majel Barrett for all the female parts. He refused to sign on unless George and Nichelle were hired.

Later, during his Wrath of Khan contract negotiations, he made part of his contract a favorable settlement for the Fab Four who had sued over residuals and were being stonewalled by Paramount.

De Kelley, whose only income was the Trek films for the last 20 years of his career, was worried he’d have his salary drastically cut after the box office failure of TFF. On the first day of negotiations for TUC he was shocked to be offered his asking price without argument. Because Leonard was the decision maker.

Sir. I’m so glad you were able to bring your family home.

TOS: Shore Leave

[Image is a set of screenshots from Star Trek: The Original Series. Spock and Kirk are talking. Kirk says “A crewman’s right ends where the safety of the ship begins. That man will go ashore on my orders. What’s his name?”

Spock says “James Kirk.”

He looks at Kirk with a raised eyebrow. Kirk frowns a little. Spock smiles and Kirk narrows his eyes in a resigned way. End]
