Can we talk about this amazing call back moment in Star Trek Into Darkness? It's probably been talked about before but I haven't seen anything about it and I crave discussion
Dialouge -
Spock: You're suggesting the Admiral violated every regulation he vowed to uphold simply because he wanted to exploit your intellect?
Khan: He wanted to exploit my savagery. Intellect alone is useless in a fight, Mr. Spock. You... You can't even break a rule, how would you be expected to break bone?
‼️‼️
Towards the beginning of the movie we see Kirk, Khan, and Spock talking as more truth comes out about all of the circumstances surrounding John Harrison and the attack against Starfleet.
There we establish the mind set Khan has, the way he sees even Spock as inferior to him and his people.
Then we jump towards the end of the movie. Spock just sat with his best friend as he lay dying, unable to help him or truly comfort him at all. He is angry and heartbroken, he wants Khan to pay for what he's done. He knows the man must be stopped. So he beams down from the Enterprise to go after him.
The second Spock gains the upper hand in that fight he snaps Khan's arm like a fucking twig.
As both a writer and a viewer, that's the kind of thing that makes me go, "Shiiiiiiit that's good soup. I need more"
Jaylah: What is it exactly that you bring to this?
Kirk: Me? I'm a planner. You know? I make plans.
Jaylah: You've already made the plan. So what value do you have now?
Kirk: If the plan fails, the existing plan, I make a new plan.
Jaylah: So you make plans that fail.
Kirk: No.
Chekov: He also plays the lute.
Kirk: Chekov, not relevant. Trust me, I'm indispensable.

Bones: In other words, Khan is a real son of a bitch.
Spock: So you blame his mother for his corruption.
Bones: What? No. It's an expression.
Spock: I see. I do not traffic in colloquialisms.
Bones: You're not a lot of fun, are you?

*Spock explaining something horrible*
Scotty: Sounds lovely.
Spock: Quite the opposite.
Scotty: I know. I was being ironic.
Spock: I find irony is a blade that cuts he who wields it most especially.
Kirk: Yeah? Is that what you think, Spock?

Spock: *referring to intellect devourer monsters* Make no sound. They're drawn to mental energy. The higher the intelligence of the prey, the more likely they are to strike.
Kirk: *after all devourers go by without attacking* Well, that's a little hurtful.
Some old AOS traditional marker art I found that I forgot I made 4 years ago (2019) with stuff about a super random crack ship mini-comic (involving Scotty) LMFAOOOOOOO........???????
(don't hurt me, i was young and cringe - enjoy the laugh lol 😭🤧 )

6/10. The fabric looks soft, and I'm kinda into the whole turtleneck thing, plus the women's uniform is practical. The colour palette could be a little more interesting, though, and there's far too many crew members in the same shade of blue.
2. TOS uniforms
7/10. Aside from Kirk's infamous wrap around shirt, these are fairly toned back uniforms in bright colours. Aesthetically, the women's uniforms look good but are ultimately impractical. A solid base for starfleet uniforms. I like the black undershirts.
3. Wrath of Khan uniforms
5/10. Ugly!! The colour is nice and makes the crew look unified, but the cut is unflattering, and all the shiny bits look more imperialist than practical. I get what they were going for, but I find it boring. Also, Spock looks so good in blue that the red is practically criminal.
4. TNG uniforms (1-3)
4/10. Although I like certain design elements of these, as well as the colour choices, I find them too onsie-like. I prefer Troi's uniform here, though. Her second uniform is a bit too boob heavy.
5. TNG (3-7)
8/10. Solid starfleet uniforms. The colours are nice, the designs are sleek and fashionable as well as gender neutral. The collars are particularly nice. Overall, nice. Apart from poor Troi, her uniform is so ugly here god bless her.
6. Skant
4/10. Honorary mention for the skant. It's way too short, but the shape is nice. TNG women don't even get the dignity of tights here. Point up from 3 because Picard and Riker wore them once.
7. AOS
3/10. BARF. The fabric looks cheap and scratchy, and the necklines are weird. The colours are eye-bleachingly ugly, and I really don't get what they were going for with the kids' Halloween costume vibe.
8. SNW
1/10. If I were Ethen Peck, I would think the costume designers hated me. These are unbelievably ugly.
