Spock tells Kirk, about to go on a dangerous mission: "Jim, be careful". Using a first name is against protocol I reckon.

McCoy is going with "Jim" on this dangerous mission, something Spock likely knows but doesn't really care about. McCoy angrily tells Spock: "We will (be careful, both of us, thanks for also thinking about me)"

Star Trek, The Wrath of Khan

TFW you're a third wheel between 2 people obviously in love.

Star Trek The Search for Spock scene. Our Lord Spock is pictured in a white robe. He stands surrounded by his shipmates who are all older here than they were in the TV show. Sulu is smiling and touching Spock's chest for some reason. Uhura, Chekov, Scotty, and Bones stand close and all seem thrilled to see him, but are otherwise practicing self control and not feeling his chest. Despite being surrounded by friends, Spock is staring only at Kirk, for obvious reasons.

Alfre Woodard as Lily Sloane and James Cromwell as Zefram Cochrane peering up at the night sky moments before the Borg attack. According to Woodard, the Borg attack on the Bozeman, Montana refuge involved live pyrotechnics and explosions that left the actress with permanent scars: "We practiced it for hours and hours, and then when it happened, the explosion was so intense it just knocked us off our butts. We just fell any way we could... my arms were bleeding, and all the skin was gone."

"My god. They're really from another world."
--Zefram Cochrane

Happy First Contact Day!

With all the commercialization of this holiday, sometimes it's easy to forget the reason for it. This man had a vision of a better future for all of us. So when you're having your salmon and singing "Magic Carpet Ride", please remember Zefram Cochrane and all he did for us.

Happy First Contact Day

Photo from the National Theatre's production of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. Algernon (Ncuti Gatwa) sits at a grand piano, wearing a glorious pink dress that flows with a long train. Its train is being picked up by a man wearing a black suit. The grand piano is surrounded by people wearing sombre clothing. They all look at Algernon longingly.

Photo from the National Theatre's production of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. Jack (Hugh Skinner) sits on a chaise longue awkwardly, he looks over to his right worringly. He wears a plain brown suit, restricted with blue straight lines and plaid. Algernon (Ncuti Gatwa) sits next to him, he wears a glorious green and jewel coloured suit with a green cravat. He looks positively mortified at what Jack has just said.

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.
