hey super sorry, your boyfriend went into the chamber filled with radiation to fix the ship. Yeah needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Don’t worry though, he put his soul in my head so we can get him back
do you think that as spock went inside the warp core to save his loved ones, he thought of pike? do you think he thought about how this is probably the last thing that pike would have wanted for him, because he never would have wanted spock to have to put himself in mortal peril like that? do you think he wondered if pike would have been proud of him anyway?
Khan: Revenge is a dish best served cold, and it is very cold in space...
Kirk, who is from Iowa: Oh, you think space is cold?

Just another Spirk edit with one of my favorite songs by Tananai. I apologize for only using italian songs for my edits lately, but those italian songwriter just put pure poetry in their angst songs.
I tried to deliver the best translation possible, I just love my beautiful lovers so much I hope they're happily bonded together somewhere in the universe
Okay, I kinda wanna write something on the Carol/Jim factor of the latest episode.
Jim flirts. Jim flirts with everyone, theoretically. La'an, Uhura, Una, Spock. It's how he communicates friendliness and I really wager he just doesn't know the way he stares at people can be considered flirtatious either. He just genuinely finds them appealing, and fascinating. So... no this isn't him practicing infidelity, even if he were on with Carol at the moment.
Much like with Chapel, people do NOT give Carol any credit. She's a strong, professionally inclined woman, much like La'an. And Jim specifically tells La'an that her and Carol would get along. I'm willing to wager, like adults, both Jim and Carol have discussed what they're okay with in a relationship.
As for little baby David. Carol, what? Just got pregnant? Both of them know about it. They have ample time to stop the pregnancy if they so wish it. Which is not only fine in our day and age, but likely even simpler in the future. So they had to have discussed the baby, before she came to term.
Jim and Carol decided beforehand that Carol was going to keep David. Carol wanted to keep him. Jim having very little to say on the matter, except his approval (or disapproval?), because he still loves her, but knows they were never gonna stick together and so does she. Maybe he also wanted David to be born anyway, be raised by an amazing woman, become someone who was his own person, and Jim could love him from afar, but that's it.
Dead beat!dad simply isn't in the cards for him. And even if he was allowed to see David just a few times, all because he's not the majority of the time doesn't mean he's a bad dad. It just makes him absent. Perhaps not much of a relationship, but, hell, he didn't have much of one with his own father, and you know what? From his perspective, him and Sam came out just fine.
Now just a brief look at good ole Sam! Sam has work! Sam has a job! He's on the flagship! The enterprise, herself! He's most definitely discussed his career with his wife! Whether his wife or his children bear issue with his choice is another matter. We simply don't know unless we see them. Why demonize Sam for literally being on the ship that saves lives? The ship where any moment you can die?
Literally what is up with people encouraging unhealthy relationship dynamics?
Chapel shouldn't have to give up her career progress for Spock, Spock would never give up his career for anyone and he finds the only person he can love later (Jim) will sacrifice himself for the job as well. Chris and Batel in constant argument and miscommunication, Chapel and Spock too. And rightly so, because neither are communicating properly. Well, I'll wager that Jim and Carol did actually communicate. Because we know they can. We know both their characters!
This isn't to say David doesn't have another opinion. Neither his mother or father really thought properly of his emotional reaction to not having Jim in his life. But that's another matter, not easy to predict, likely the two did not think ahead that far. They're both fallible humans, who've saved countless peoples lives.
