Kevin Riley is the funniest Star Trek character because he’s only shown up twice and both times he did the most unhinged thing possible in the situation (committed mutiny and attempted an extrajudicial revenge murder).

the DIFFERENCE between Sulu and Riley in the naked time is so funny to me. Sulu decides to run around the ship with a sword and Riley just locks himself away with funny buttons and starts 2 sing

The fact that Uhura, Sulu, and M’Benga don’t have first names in the original series is frustrating first and foremost because it smacks of racism (they’re the only recurring characters of color AND the only recurring characters without first names), but also because their later established names make me think of the newer versions of their characters, not the originals.

#star trek #star trek tos #yes I’m aware that Spock goes by one name as well #but he is an alien and that’s how his society works #I’m sure there are some cultures in our vast human world that only give people one name #but not in the USA where the show was made and whose ideals infuse the show for better or worse #weird that they thought of a name for Kevin Riley but not Uhura and Sulu who appear way more

[Fanvid] Star Trek TOS - Characters Singing, Playing and Listening to Music

Sooo it took me a long time to make this, but it was worth it! :D Featuring:

- Uhura having a good time

- Spock a little less (but it gets better)

- Space hippies

- A lot more with the main cast and not!

I hope you’ll enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it! <3

I'm not taking criticism at this time

[Description: A tiered meme format, titled: "Goin' to the home improvement store". Below this is a table, with one column listing various activities, and the other having pictures of characters from Star Trek: The Original Series, aligned to which activity they would partake in. They are as follows:

"Fell in the cacti display while wandering around the gardening section," with a picture of Sulu.

"Being yelled at by employees while frantically ascending the forbidden orange stairs," with two pictures, one of Spock and one of Kirk.

"Taking sick af selfies in the lighting section," with a picture of Yeoman Janice Rand.

"Shitting in the display toilets," with a picture of lieutenant Kevin Riley.

"Tokyo drifting one of those flatbed carts down the aisles," with a picture of Scotty.

"Lying on the fucken flatbed, holding on for dear life," with a picture of Pavel Chekov.

"Lovingly touching all the carpet samples," with a picture of Uhura.

"Stealing paint chips for aesthetic purposes," with a picture of Nurse Chapel.

"Just wanted some goddamn light bulbs but everyone ruined it," with a picture of Dr McCoy.

"In the car sleepin," with a picture of Captain Pike as he appeared in the episode The Menagerie.

The saddest moments of Star Trek TOS belonged to "throwaway" characters

They all deserved better.

1. Lieutenant Riley - Conscience of the King

Faced with the chance to kill the man who once ordered the executions of thousands (including his family) in the wake of a famine, Riley's chance is stripped from him and he is ordered to stand down.

This is also a devastating moment for the captain himself as the only other remaining survivor of the colony. Kirk stops Riley's drastic actions, which, although damning, were perhaps his only chance of overcoming the guilt of having once been selected to live while others were sent to death.

Both enter a confrontation regarding their shared past, but neither heal.

2. Janice Rand - The Enemy Within

Although it was an "evil extension" of Kirk who perpetrated the assault on Janice Rand in her own room, at this point she only had reason to believe that the assailant was Kirk himself.

Rand is forced to testify with Kirk (the man she thought she loved, a captain with both power and position over her, an officer flanked by his two closest allies, and a man whose proximity in the same ship could endanger her after the testimony) standing over her. Rand even admits to "not wanting to get him into trouble", highlighting how closely her struggle mirrors the victims of everyday workplace violence against women.

What may even be worse are the blatant intimidation tactics Kirk employs throughout the scene. Although he knows he didn't do it (and perhaps suspects foul play), Kirk makes no attempt to empathize with the testimonies of Rand and Fisher regarding what they saw, and he even hints at the danger of them conspiring against a man of his rank.

Rand endured constant objectification in each of her appearances in the series, and would go on to be entirely forgotten after its first season. (Though she would return in The Motion Picture.)

3. Lieutenant "Joey" - The Naked Time

Joey delivered perhaps the most poignant monologue of the series, just moments before his impending death. Though Joey's inhibitions were altered by the infection that would soon kill him, we see later in the episode that the infection forces people express existing wants and needs. Therefore, real are his pleas begging to understand why humanity should be in space at all when it has merely taken and taken... leaving only destruction in its wake and its own to die.

Not only did he bare his own insecurities, Joey also established a central conflict of the entire series: can a utopian vision of the future include acts like leaving six people to waste away on an empty planet?

Tragically, Joey couldn't bear the burden of this conflict alone (no one else had or would mention this guilt at any point in the series) and though his death was prompted by the infection, it only acted as a catalyst for what was truly a su*c*de.

McCoy ruled in the autopsy that Joey might have survived, but he simply gave up fighting.

#joey you will always be special #because now that I’m really looking at em… starfleet kinda ugly #common denominator #justice for janice rand #Kevin Riley I love him he’s my girl he’s my buddy he’s my pal #star trek tos #star trek #jim kirk #leonard mccoy #*

If they ever make another AOS film it would be a great opportunity to bring in some minor TOS characters. Think about it, a lot of the crew died when the Enterprise went down in Beyond, so there would be some new crew members, say, one Yeoman Janice Rand or Lieutenant Kevin Riley. I know we can't have Anton Yelchin's Chekov (😢) so why not do an uno reverse where instead of Chekov replacing Kevin Riley, which I'm sure happened bc there's no Kevin Riley post season 2 when Chekov was introduced, they have Kevin Riley replace Chekov. Also, they could bring back Christine Chapel, because she's amazing
