Spocktober + Trektober Day 9 - Dress Uniform
I willfully misinterpreted this prompt because I wanted to draw Spock in the uniform dress :3
(ID under cut)
[Image ID: A black and white drawing of Spock and Captain Kirk from Star Trek: The Original Series.
Spock is standing next to the Captain's chair, facing the viewscreen, talking at length about something science-y. He is wearing the short dress that was the womens' uniform aboard the Enterprise. Kirk is sitting in the chair next to him, gazing up at Spock, chin in his hand, smitten. Little love hearts float around his head.
Above the drawing is written "Trektober" and "Day 9 - Dress Uniform" Below it is written "@aerialworms" and "Spocktober"./End ID]

The alternate ending for Star Trek (2009) is to me the American "Mrs.Darcy"-kiss ending for Pride & Prejudice (2005).
Does the film need it? No.
But would it have made me blubber emotionally until I am a puddle of feelings? 1000%.
(Pasting the alternate ending here in case the webpage gets deleted)
—————————
ALTERNATE SCENE B
SPOCK PRIME
Then I ask that you do yourself a
favor… put away logic, and do what
feels right. The world you’ve inherited
lives in the shadow of incalculable
devastation… but there’s no reason you
must face it alone.
And from around his neck, he removes the PENDANT that
until now, we’ve only caught glimpses of. Places it on
the table beside his younger self. The feeling in his
eyes is profound…
SPOCK PRIME (CONT’D)This was a gift to me. Representing…
a dream. One we were unable to fulfill.
(softly)
The way you can now.
And moves to the door. Stops. Offers the VULCAN SALUTE:
SPOCK PRIME (CONT’D)
As my customary farewell would appear
oddly self serving, I will simply say…
good luck.
Their eyes hold. Spock turns, disappearing into the
corridor. Young Spock stares at the empty doorway a
beat, his mind a jumble of thoughts. Looks to the
pendant… and realizes it’s a HOLO-EMITTER. After
considering a beat, he hits an activation button and a
MOVING HOLOGRAPHIC MESSAGE materializes before him:
CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK. WILLIAM SHATNER. As always,
brash, wry, confident — and SINGING:
KIRK/ SHATNER
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to
you…
(stops, grins)
I know I know, it’s illogical to
celebrate something you had nothing to do
with, but I haven’t had the chance to
congratulate you on your appointment to
the ambassadorship so I thought I’d seize
the occasion… Bravo, Spock — they tell
me your first mission may take you away
for awhile, so I’ll be the first to wish
you luck… and to say…
(beat, emotional)
I miss you, old friend.
… and we’re PUSHING IN on Young Spock, taking in the
image of Kirk’s future self, the message, but above all —
the clear, unquestionable friendship these two men had…
INT. CORRIDOR – CONTINUOUS
As Spock Prime walks off down the corridor, he passes
right by a man conferring with a nurse — the man pauses,
turns… it’s SAREK. Suddenly overcome by a feeling that
the stranger who’s just passed him is… oddly familiar.
KIRK/SHATNER (V.O.)
I suppose I’d always imagined us…
outgrowing Starfleet together. Watching
life swing us into our Emeritus years…
INT. STARBASE ONE – HANGAR – ETERNAL NIGHT
MUSIC BUILDING — glass walls reveal THE ENTERPRISE at
dock, UTILITY CRAFTS floating around it, repairing.
Standing at attention in rows, THE ENTERPRISE CREW —
over four hundred of them wearing DRESS UNIFORMS — TRACK
DOWN the faces, all proud:
KIRK/SHATNER (V.O.)
I look around at the new cadets now and
can’t help thinking… has it really been
so long? Wasn’t it only yesterday we
stepped onto the Enterprise as boys?
That I had to prove to the crew I
deserved command… and their respect?
And we STOP ON YOUNG KIRK. Composed, focused, proud. A
man. And to every fan’s delight, finally wearing his
YELLOW SHIRT. The FEDERATION COMMANDANT stands at a
podium:
COMMANDANT
This assembly calls Captain James
Tiberius Kirk…
Kirk breaks from formation, pivots, marches down the
hangar — past UHURA… SULU… CHEKOV… SCOTTY. All
Beaming. Notably absent, is Spock. Kirk ascends the
stairs, snaps to attention:
COMMANDANT (CONT’D)Your inspirational valor and supreme
dedication to your comrades are in
keeping with the highest traditions of
service and reflect utmost credit to
yourself, your crew, and the Federation.
By Starfleet Order 28455, you are hereby
directed to report to Commanding Officer,
USS Enterprise, for duty as his relief.
Kirk turns. Walks to… PIKE. In a wheelchair now,
wearing an ADMIRAL’S UNIFORM. Overnight, his hair’s
turned totally grey — but despite his trauma, his
pride’s overwhelming. They SALUTE each other:
KIRK
I relieve you, Sir.
PIKE
… I am relieved.
He opens a BOX in his lap — glorious in repose, a MEDAL:
PIKE (CONT’D)And as Fleet Admiral, for your… unique
solution to the Kobayashi Maru, it’s my
honor to award you with a commendation
for original thinking.
Pike containing a smirk, pins the medal to Kirk’s
chest…
PIKE (CONT’D)
(a touch choked)
Congratulations, Captain.
KIRK
Thank you, Sir.
Kirk turns to the crowd. Eyes shining. WILD APPLAUSE.
OUR MUSIC SOARS. Bones leans in to Sulu, rolling his
eyes:
BONES
… Same ship, different day.
As Kirk rejoins his crew for hugs and congratulations, we
go to the BACK of the hangar… SPOCK PRIME. Watching.
Moved beyond words. He turns and leaves them to it… as
he goes…
KIRK/SHATNER (V.O.)
I know what you’d say — ‘It’s their turn
now, Jim…’ And of course you’re
right… but it got me thinking:
INT. STARFLEET HOSPITAL – EARTH – DAY
Our montage comes full circle as we END on Kirk’s
transmission:
KIRK/SHATNER
Who’s to say we can’t go one more round?
By the last tally, only twenty five
percent of the galaxy’s been chartered…
I’d call that negligent. Criminal even —
an invitation. You once said being a
starship captain was my first, best
destiny… if that’s true, then yours is
to be by my side. If there’s any true
logic to the universe… we’ll end up on
that bridge again someday.
Stops, grins. Because this is the part he needs to say
most…
KIRK/SHATNER
Admit it, Spock. For people like us, the
journey itself… is home.
Young Spock’s face. Lost in feelings that flood through
him.

Jim's dress uniform doesn't fit anymore.
Kirk's expression fell, taking a closer look at the reflection of the aging Captain who looked like he would burst out of his clothes if he dared so much as to breathe. He couldn't wear that uniform to the gala, he needed a new one - again.

Deleted Scene from 2009 Star Trek
We could have had this scene (written by J.J. Abrams, so all credit goes to him) in the 2009 Star Trek:
SPOCK PRIME (talking to YOUNG SPOCK)
Then I ask that you do yourself a
favor… put away logic, and do what
feels right. The world you’ve inherited
lives in the shadow of incalculable

Know More About The USS Enterprise and Spock Starfleet Insignia
Drifting into the 24th century is now super easy! With Fametek’s range of functional collectibles like the Star Trek USS Enterprise speaker and themed chargers, live life like you skipped the 21st century to live in the futuristic 24th century Star Trek era. When the show was first released, Doctor Spock and Captain James Kirk became instant heroes for the fans. Whatever they said became cool catch-phrases and golden words for Trekkies even today.
Copying how they talked to how they dressed became a trend! Each Trekkie has a wishlist full of Trek gadgets like the pinned combadge with Spock Starfleet Insignia.
Star Trek USS Enterprise: The Starship of The Future
The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) was the first of its kind to be known as the Enterprise among all the starships throughout the series. It was launched in the 23rd century, 2245, and was commanded by Captain Robert April until 2250. It was designed by Matt Jefferies and was initially named Yorkship. It was later renamed the Enterprise after the real-life Aircraft Carrier during the 1960s. Jefferies’ work of the interiors of the ship and the realistic designing was so good that the US Navy used the designs for real-life naval ships and hired him. After its term as an exploration ship and fighting combats, the Star Trek USS Enterprise was destroyed over the Genesis planet in 2285. To save the starship from falling into the hands of the Klingons, Kirk activated the starship’s autodestruct sequence.
Spock Starfleet Insignia: Futuristic Communication Badges
The Delta sign badges pinned to the crew member’s uniforms were highly advanced communicative devices with multiple purposes other than simply exchanging commands. It also had a universal translator that allowed the crew to communicate instantly with other species of the space. The pinned badge was not merely just a symbol but rather the Spock Starfleet Insignia was the identification of crew members and their ranks. Taking the badge off was equivalent to taking off the uniform.
Fametek’s Functional Range of Star Trek Collectibles
If you have been desiring to own 24th-century technology, Fametek is the right place! With functional Spock Starfleet Insignia Comabdges and the Star Trek USS Enterprise speaker, turn your sci-fi dreams into reality!

I just posted my first Spirk story of the year. 🥰
Summary:
Jim's dress uniform doesn't fit anymore.
Kirk's expression fell, taking a closer look at the reflection of the aging Captain who looked like he would burst out of his clothes if he dared so much as to breathe. He couldn't wear that uniform to the gala, he needed a new one - again.

The Mercy of Quality: SNW Season 1 Finale in Review
Finally saw the S1 finale of Strange New Worlds, and other than not liking the actor who played James Kirk[1], it's probably one of the handful of episodes from the season that I'd say is genuinely firing on all cylinders. I didn't much like the previous Aliens riff episode—it's a bad fit for Star Trek (you just had a whole episode about not killing kids but now its okay to kill these kids because they're aggressive and violent and not cute and having adorable line reads of technobabble? The Devil in the Dark is right there, you guys), and killing Hemmer is just the most breathtakingly bone-headed decision possible (let's kill off our only disabled actor!)—but the actual script, from a craft standpoint, is really good. Other than a very awkward reference to station wagons early in the episode[2], it avoids the pitfalls of so many previous scripts, with its too-contemporary dialogue and over-reliance on Whedonesque quippery: the script treats the circumstances with the gravity they deserve without ever dragging it too far into Grim and Gritty Serious Prestige TV tripe (see: Discovery Season 1), and the finale continues that trend. Everyone is allowed to act like a grown-up and a professional: Ortegas especially gets to shine this episode because Melissa Navia's exclamations are sharp and on-point: she's not just cracking jokes on the bridge like the class clown who can't help themselves, she's got worthwhile things to say, and it makes sense for her character in the moment to be unable to keep herself from saying them. Equally, when Pike rightly slaps her down for it—this is not the time and place, lieutenant—it restores to him a sense of authority NuTrek has often undermined: in trying to make him the nicest, most genial, easy-going captain in Starfleet he often fails to get the chance to look and sound like a captain, someone who, when the chips are down, can take command. Anson Mount gets to show qualities other than charm or brooding-on-the-future frowning: he sings this episode, it's great.
Not every SNW episode should be serious—arguable the best episode of the season was Spock Amok—but every episode should sound and feel like the 23rd century, and this episode brought a level of professionalism and—for lack of a better word—dignity back to the cast. It lets them be and sound like the Starfleet officers they are, without sacrificing the personalities the show has done so much to shape over the course of the season—the dynamic, funny, interesting people we know them to be (in fact this is where the fairly-flat Kirk… well, mostly falls flat)/[3] It didn't have moments that took me out of the script, and I got all sorts of gushy over Future Pike's hybrid-alt-future-semi-TWK uniform. (The TWK-TUC uniforms are still Trek’s classiest, along with the Insurrection-onwards white dress uniforms I so adore).
Also, more importantly, I’ve already written at-length about SNW's inability to pick a lane when it comes to canon: too loose with canon for the fans who love that sort of thing, not loose enough to not feel crushed by the weight of it. Additionally, in some sense the S1 finale is just a retread of plot points that felt solved already: Pike coming to terms with his future. We- we did this already. We solved it. But that doesn’t really bother me, because this episode does it better than those episodes before it: for the first time, SNW meaningfully makes a case for why SNW-one-day-becoming-TOS matters, why it shouldn’t drop canon and run off and do its own thing like I often feel it should. Why it’s a good thing that Pike not change his fate. Without ever placing us in TOS, it reminds us repeatedly that the stories told in TOS have value, that there’s more than just cardboard sets and dated hair. That’s there’s more to caring about TOS than just blind fan nostalgia for a thing they like and remember fondly. That Balance of Terror isn't just a TV show with member berries in it: it has a message worth hearing—that, no matter Pike’s qualities as a person, the universe is better with a reality where Kirk makes that fateful rendezvous. That the universe is better with a Spock who goes on to mind-meld with V’ger and the space whales, so that one day there will be a universe for the TNG crew to run around in, Voyager to soar over ice planets, and Deep Space Nine to ask the difficult questions about paradise. In its own way its a gentle rebuke to Abrams’s Kelvinverse’s central conceit: yes, you can take the TOS cast and send them down a whole new path in life, changing their fates±but maybe that’s not worth doing. Maybe their original fates, warts and all, are worth preserving, even if that means that Pike has a countdown timer over his head. Certain aspects of what is to come are avoidable, but shouldn’t be avoided.
I don’t know if I fully agree with it: as I’ve said elsewhere, knowing the flatter, one-dimensional characters Uhura and Chapel become in TOS isn’t great. The TOS ‘future’ is deeply flawed for some of these people it ways far more ignoble than Pike’s heroic sacrifice.
But I appreciate it. I like it. And it really made the case for what SNW can be at its best—it made me want to watch SNW season 2, because I know what the show can be at its best, and hope and pray it will be.
(Also, as addendum, the ending really drove home something someone else noted: Rebecca Romijn’s performance as Number One was one of few good things to emerge from the tattered corpse of Disco Season 2. She also has a truly excellent Short Trek: I was so excited to see her in SNW. And yet she’s barely in it? She sits out whole episodes, all-but cameos in others, has no presence in the finale until the last scene. Where the hell was she? Was there some Covid problems like Tis Notara on Discovery? It was so bizarre - where the heck was the cold, unemotional, controlled Number One of one of the best Short Treks? WHERE DID SHE GO?}
[1] hard shoes to fill, mind, but he really lacks any kind of strong screen presence—he's just kind of some guy, y'know? He's not bad, but he's just… a guy. If you don't feel like your actor playing Kirk counted lines so that he had the most, if you don't feel like he did everything to get all the camera time, steal every scene, it just doesn't feel right. I'm not even joking, it's an attitude - 'I am always the most important person in the scene' and the actor doesn't bring that.
[2] I don't care how folksy and old-fashioned Pike is supposed to be, it's like if I said of a group outing ''welp, time to get the chaise and four'—I'd be being deliberately, obnoxiously abstruse, and 'piling the kids in the station wagon' is a phrase that's already feels extinct in 2023, along with the station wagon. It beggars belief that this phrase is going to survive into the 23rd century. No. No! The writer's just making Pike into their own dad - they're getting 'cute'. Stop that.
[3] To commend the season as a whole, the show did marvelous work in really, truly building an ensemble. Imagine trying to do that fantasy episode with the Disco cast: you don't have enough named crewmemebers with pre-established personalities to make it work. Heck, they visit the mirror universe multiple times and you're left going, 'oh no, not evil that guy! And that girl is evil too, huh. So is that person. And is… is that someone we know, or just a background extra. Who is Bryce? Do we know a Bryce? Sounds like he should be running a surf shop, not serving in Evil Starfleet.'
