Chris Pine as James T Kirk Star Trek (2009)

Your father was Captain of a Starship for 12 minutes. He saved 800 lives, including your mother's and yours. I dare you to do better.

JAMES T. KIRK Star Trek ‘The Omega Glory’

whales (not the hell yours)

Double dumbass (on you)

Italian (you love it)

gracie (pregnant)

Stolen Bird-of-Prey (remember where we parked it)

only work in outer space (from iowa)

the least realistic thing about star trek is that starfleet uniforms don’t have pockets and nobody complains about it

My instinct is to agree with this, but like, when I really think about it…

No money, no credit cards, identification is all vocal/fingerprints/retinal, so no wallet.

Again, doors are voice activated, or just unlocked by entering a code.  No keys.  

Communication devices are tiny and stick onto clothing starting in Next Gen.  TOS had bulkier communication that they carried around or kept in, like, packs and stuff, so the arguments for pockets is a little more valid, and if I remember correctly, those costumes did have pockets, tho I could be wrong about that.  But anything post TNG, the point is moot anyway.

Tricorders and phasers are really the only thing anyone’s carrying around, and that’s usually on away missions where they’d be bring their packs/holsters or just have them out.  I mean, who wants to stick a phaser in their pocket?  

So, yeah.  There’s not much little stuff people need to carry around everywhere.  And if they are preparing for a longer journey or want to bring bulkier things, well…just bring a bag.  It fits more anyway.    

what if i find a cool rock and want to take it home with me

Every time a member of the USS Enterprise has found a cool rock and taken it home, it has resulted in eleven deaths, six temporal displacements, the holodecks breaking again, and somebody getting turned into a lizard. Pockets are a privilege, not a right.

I’ve gotten more notes on this comment than anything else I’ve ever posted, but this is the best addition to it I’ve ever seen. Thank you.

You’re a goddamn genius

Star Trek Beyond (2016), dir. Justin Lin

Who could forget the direct nod to Goncharov in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, a movie steeped in the retelling of that story.

Star Trek VI’s focus on the passage of time, and the trappings of time—the weight of anger and bigotry Kirk has accumulated; the distance that has grown between Kirk and Spock without either meaning it to happen—are undeniably Goncharov inspired. And yet, even while unfolding as a partial retelling of Goncharov, the movie is ultimately a refutation. Goncharov [Kirk] lives. He lives because he is finally able to let go of JUST A LITTLE bit of his past, unlike the original Goncharov. He and Andrey [Spock] can thus reconcile in life, not death. What they face beyond the bleak ending of the characters they’re drawn from? The Undiscovered Country, of course..

Honestly, it could be literally anything at this point

Star Trek (2009) looked like this

needs more lens flare

Oh, sorry, excuse me

Star Trek (2009) looked like this

Wasn’t that the one where the engine room was just, like. A brewery?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST TALKING SHIT, BUT YOU REALLY MEANT IT ACTUALLY WAS A STRAIGHT-UP BREWERY, FOR BEER AND NOT SPACESHIP JUICE

Once again I point out

The Dyson hand dryers were also literally in Star Trek 2009
