I feel a strong need to hug Picard in that last gif
I love the implication that Picard totally expected them to have that shared experience, and that if there had been other human men in the room he would have expected them to relate. This implies that despite Picard’s love for older pastimes, building ships in bottles is still common enough in the 24th century that he expects most humans to be familiar with the hobby.
[I love Deep Space Nine more but I wish they had used Chief O’Brien and Worf to do more call backs to the Next Generation. Just feels like a lot of missed opportunity not using all that built up past series continuity.]
my friend’s very young daughter is apparently a huge nerd and asked for a “Spock-themed birthday party”
She’s 3 going to be 4 and she demands a Spock themed party that only @souryellows is invited to.
The other day she got up in another kids face and chanted “we watch Star trek everyday because I love Spock”
when we tried to warn her that the ending of Wrath of Khan would upset her she ran over and yelled ‘Spock won’t die because I love him!’ (he died anyway. she was distraught)
also if you show her a picture of Spock and ask who he is she gets little hearts in her eyes and says dreamily “my boy”
Also uh update she watched the Search for Spock yesterday and is fucking estatic about seeing Spock alive again.
But she now has an imaginary friend. Any guesses.
It’s Spock.
The Spock party was a few months ago but it was grand. She squealed in earsplitting delight when I brought the cake out and made me carry her bridal-style around the house while singing the theme song.
