TOO MUCH WIN!!! I am in the middle of an extended process of trying to convince my sister of K/S - this and your 'Tomorrow is Yesterday' vid are essential tools in my arsenal...
Looking at this scene and...well most of the series and the movies, I still wonder what the hell we're even arguing about. No, they are not gay, that's not what it's about. They're just in love, get over the labels, Kirk and Spock's relationship transcends labels. That's why its so fcking brilliant. *tips hat off to Gene*
Kirk really believed Spock was rubbing his back. And he wanted him to "dig it in there". He was disappointed to learn it was the girl. No doubt about it. Nothing to argue about.
Sure, yea, I guess that would make sense if it weren't for the fact that KIRK BANGED EVERY FEMALE HE CAME ACROSS REGARDLESS OF SPECIES! Gads, these friggin' Spirk videos get on my nerves. How many times did we see Spock or Kirk fall under the spell of some bizarre off world psychoactive drug and then start making out with ALL the females? We see Kirk KISS Uhura, but we don't see an "Kihura" videos out there! Give it up guys....this was set in the future. Homosexuality has been cured.
I don't even know that there are any words I can verbalize to describe my feelings right now. The people who made this show HAD to have been implying something here. This is beyong flaming. I have never in my LIFE seen Star Trek, but if this is a running theme throughout the show, maybe it's worth watching. XD
While most men freaked out at the idea of another man touching them, Kirk was almost shocked that Spock would not take the opportunity to scratch his back. Spock on the other hand was like, "are you kidding, I'm not your personal servant!". Also Spock would not do that sort of thing on the bridge.....but in the privacy of the captain's quarters however...Spock might chill-ax and give him a Vulcan back rub.....sweet.
"Ooh. Ooh, yeah, that's good. Dig it in there, Mr. Spo--" *sees Spock next to him* "...Thank you [insert name I can't hear and don't remember from the show HERE], very sufficiant."
@simsimcrazy47 Actually you know what's even more awesome? He doesn't use her name, he says "Thank you Yeoman". As in... MEAN GIRLIE WHO IS NOT SPOCK *pout*
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't think they're gay. This is my theory. It's perfectly acceptable in our American society for two straight female bff's to hug, share platonic kisses, and be physically close. Star Trek is all about a hopeful, future egalitarian society focused on humanity. Anyhow, it may also be acceptable for straight male bffs to show physical affection in the 23rd century.
This could be but then why doesn't Kirk behave the same way with his other close friends, Scotty and McCoy? And I don't think that two girl bff hugging, kissing, etc was acceptable in the 60s.
I don't think they're gay either...I think they're bi. ^^ Each for their own.
@fogdragon23 this doesn't really have anything to do with your arguement, but Uhura and Chapel kissed in one scene. It was a peck on the cheek as chapel was leaving, but just saying, the sixties wasn't totally puritan.
@amberjane9 I know that as well, my friend and I were discussing the pairing and I got halfway through saying Kock when I realized what it sounded like. We almost died laughing.
Hehe, Spock knew what Kirk was trying to do and thought his plan was totally lame.
Jim just wants his sexy Vulcan to touch him in public so that everyone knows who he belongs to! So people like Rand will stop trying to get in his pants.
theres a lot of scenes that indicate the more than friends relationship of spock and kirk.i cant help but wonder if its really true or are we just imagining things because theyre so close to each other...
maybe kirk helped spock during his pon farr? oopss.. sorry.
sometimes this clip just pops in my head and i start laughing to myself like a crazy person and people are like what are you laughing at and i just say, oh nothing, lol, i don't care how many times i watch this clip it always makes me laugh my ass off, lol
When I first saw this scene I was like "oh...oops!" The girl knew too! When Jim and Spock shared a look, she glanced right at Spock with a not-so-happy face, haha.
This is so crazy! The ladies man Kirk tells her to stop massaging after he realizes it's not Spock. Weird. I think the writers were really pushing the limits back then. But it was the 60's, the time and era to do that. Soo funny!
i love the way (1) Kirk's smile fades away when he realises it isn't Spock who's massaging him (2) and immediately after, he check's Spock's butt for all the crew to see.
Just because people can't imagine a friendship that runs deeper than the shallow sexual relationships they experience doesn't mean that they don't exist.
*rolls eyes* Come on, between this, "Miri," and "The Corbomite Maneuver," I'd say that Kirk feels a little more than deep camraderie with his Vulcan, at least.
omg... that Theodore Sturgeon dude totally invted Pon Farr! I wish I could of met this guy before he died!!!! T.T I would of had deep discussions of how it worked and about Spock's....you know what, i'm just gonna shut up.
Yeah, he wrote Amok Time. The epiosde where Spock had to have sex with his assigned woman or die. Except he didn't, and he didn't die. Instead, he happily ran off with Jim to, ahem, "mind the store". Knowing Sturgeon wrote gay fiction, I think we can guess what minding that store might entail.
And when Spock dies, Kirk moves heaven and earth to get him back. So long beloved ship. Nice knowing you son. Career? To hell with it, and the crews' careers too. It's all Spock, Spock, Spock. Spock gives him "emotional security". (Kirk's words.) Honestly, folks, I don't necessarily want to believe they are lovers. But if they aren't, then what has all of this been about? Is there some other plausible explanation?
Except for the part where Spock's Pon Farr had already ended, so he didn't need to have sex anymore. So when Kirk said "mind the store," they did not go off and screw like bunnies (to quote Brittany).
HOWEVER: Spock's Pon Farr DID end when he thought he'd killed Jim. Which is interesting enough all on its own.
@amberjane9 Ah, but you forget he needed to have sex with someone or else he'd die, regardless of no longer showing outward signs of Pon Farr. Doesn't that say something?
Wow, thanks. I owe most of it to Britanny, though. She's the girl who hosts "The Ship's Closet," the K/S talk show. She does so much for the fandom, I refer to her as the High Captain-Empress of All That is Good and Spirky.
I do write K/S fic, though, if you'd like to check some out. I'm "Murf" on fa nfiction . net.
Seriously! This happened?!!?!?!?! *must have died and gone to heaven* I'm sorry, I'm just overwhelmed with laughing. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EXISTING!!!! =)
Now I've never been a big slash fan for the sake of slash...but Kirk/Spock I love. It seems so right and actually believable within the context of the canon and the show in general. I firmly believe, within the TOS timeline Spock and Kirk did have romantic feelings for each other.
The writer of this episode was Theodore Sturgeon who died over 20 years ago. But while you can't send him an email and ask him his intent, he was famous for writing gay-themed science fiction. So there can be no doubt about what he was up to with this scene. How he got it passed the censors at the time is another question though.
@juliejazz--I think he got it past the sensors because Gene Roddenberry wanted to mess with people's heads. Seriously, we have all kinds of stuff pointing towards Kirk and Spock being straight, and then all of a sudden they throw us stuff like THIS, which is so inherently slashy it's ridiculous. But still. I totally freakin' love it.
@julie jazz past the censors? hell they were laughing their asses off. the actors could barley contain themselves to soot the scene. straight men laugh at little fairies all the time.if you cant, you are no real man.
I laughed so much when I read that - you're so right! It's the most irrelevant, bizarre scenario ever. Unless the writers they had a secret, slashy agenda. And they probably did, because Spock/Kirk would be blatant to Fred Phelps...
@drownedmachines it's not just the writer but Roddenberry and Bob Justman and everyone on the set who had to read the script (more people than you would think) and of course Robert Sparr the director and the bridge crew! No way none of them thought for a second that this was O.O
Well, being a child of the nineties Star Trek was never really on my radar. I saw the new movie and my perverted little mind immediatly shot to Kirk/Spock.
Good to see I'm not completely insane! This is awesome. I'm hooked.
i stumbled on this link through a deviant link. LMFAO! i couldn't belive what i saw and hured! my fience came up and asked what i was laughing about... i showed him.
he grind and said... "you have to ask yourself... 'why would Kirk think about spock would do that?'
amzing proff... instant fave... you have just made my entire year! i'm just about to go to work and i will be laughing mindlessly for the rest of the evening! thank you! XX
Can you think of any other episode/scene that has little hints at the slashiness? I want to make a sort of 'ad/commercial' thing. So far I have the holding hands scene from Errand of Mercy, the backrub scene from Shore Leave, and 'so-happy-to-see-you-alive' scene in Amok Time.
I can't use it... that particular disc got a scratch on it. It still plays ok, but DVD Shrink can't do anything with it... Pisses me off, one of my favourite Spork scenes. Thanks for trying, though!
Download free DVD Decrypter (v3.5.4.0 is latest). On the settings, just make sure to check options to skip all errors with 0 retries. Or you could just rent that one from Netflix. ;)
The logic of our true ladiesman Kirk: 'Someone rubs my back... shit, it's just some good-looking girl and not Spock. STOP IT.'
That's weird. Sometimes I think I'm seeing slash just because I want to, but this is... unexplainable in any other way. I'm sure this writer saw them as something more than friends, but how on earth did he present this idea to the crew? And how did he get this idea through?? :'D Oh the mysteries!
my media teacher did her dissertation on how Star Trek has so much of a gay undertone, especially with Spock and Kirk. she said if you properly research it, it does seem like the writers are trying to make subtle hints (or not so subtle, as this clip shows)
i just find it kind of hilarious, mistake or not :D
It probably was just a joke, but it still baffles me. Would they dare make such a joke in the 60's?
Was it seriously just something that the writers didn't notice? If so, how could they not??? Having Kirk say 'Dig it in there Mr Spo...' hardly seems like something the writers would throw in without realising what it sounds like.
About your reference to the 60s, I agree. At the time, such things would shock the people. But Star Trek changed a lot of the ways people saw the world. It showed the first ever kiss between a white and black person. That's why I love Star Trek, even today, it set the standers.
Sh*t! What episode was this? I had started watching all the episodes one after the other in January (my intention to refresher before going to see the movie) and I totally forgot about this scene!? Mind you, I had to stretch my viewing over a long period of time because my mom doesn't like the original series as much so it would get on her nerves, so if this is from season one, my forgetting it is understandable.
Great scene. xD It's funny how they blame Kirk's behaviour on lack of sleep. I'm sure he hasn't gotten much rest because he's been too busy getting that kink in his back. Bringing the bedroom to the bridge indeed!
1) Spock raises an eyebrow and looks teed off as Yeoman starts massaging. (Dude, the eyebrow. NINE THOUSAND on the Vulcan emotion-o-metre!)
2) IS; your vids use heaps of scenes in which Spock "casually" puts his hands on Kirk's seat. Does it seems too... I don't know the word... Familiar? Intimate? All the other characters seem to respect the seat metaphor-- even McCoy.
One could also point out that Spock also sits on that chair occasionally so he wouldn't consider it as "sacred" as the other crewmen would. But I like your explanaiton better :-D
You know what? They never really explained this scene. I'm not sure what the writer's intentions were for creating it.
Putting aside my admittedly subjective slash reading of it, what *was* the original reason for this? Afterall, EVERYTHING means something. (When film's so expensive, you make every second count.)
Do you think it was suggesting that Kirk had overestimated how close he and Spock were? Then again, that's also a pretty homoerotic reading. Nothing for it--- SLASH CONFIRMED!
I'm trying to think of a totally harmless, straight reason for putting this scene in and nothing comes to mind. Absolutely nothing that makes sense. I'd also like to hear why they put this scene in.
The thing I love best is that the second he finds out it's not Spock, he's like "...okay, I'm good, stop massage me Yeoman." It's just not the same if it isn't Spock!
hahahahahahahahah whatttt

Of course, Spock is smarter than that, and Jim's devious plan fails.

@julie jazz past the censors? hell they were laughing their asses off. the actors could barley contain themselves to soot the scene. straight men laugh at little fairies all the time.if you cant, you are no real man.

I laughed so much when I read that - you're so right! It's the most irrelevant, bizarre scenario ever. Unless the writers they had a secret, slashy agenda. And they probably did, because Spock/Kirk would be blatant to Fred Phelps...

@drownedmachines it's not just the writer but Roddenberry and Bob Justman and everyone on the set who had to read the script (more people than you would think) and of course Robert Sparr the director and the bridge crew! No way none of them thought for a second that this was O.O

Well, being a child of the nineties Star Trek was never really on my radar. I saw the new movie and my perverted little mind immediatly shot to Kirk/Spock.
Good to see I'm not completely insane! This is awesome. I'm hooked.

Child of the nineties may have made you skip the original series, but we had three other Star Trek shows.

Can you think of any other episode/scene that has little hints at the slashiness? I want to make a sort of 'ad/commercial' thing. So far I have the holding hands scene from Errand of Mercy, the backrub scene from Shore Leave, and 'so-happy-to-see-you-alive' scene in Amok Time.

I can't use it... that particular disc got a scratch on it. It still plays ok, but DVD Shrink can't do anything with it... Pisses me off, one of my favourite Spork scenes. Thanks for trying, though!

Download free DVD Decrypter (v3.5.4.0 is latest). On the settings, just make sure to check options to skip all errors with 0 retries. Or you could just rent that one from Netflix. ;)

The logic of our true ladiesman Kirk: 'Someone rubs my back... shit, it's just some good-looking girl and not Spock. STOP IT.'
That's weird. Sometimes I think I'm seeing slash just because I want to, but this is... unexplainable in any other way. I'm sure this writer saw them as something more than friends, but how on earth did he present this idea to the crew? And how did he get this idea through?? :'D Oh the mysteries!

my media teacher did her dissertation on how Star Trek has so much of a gay undertone, especially with Spock and Kirk. she said if you properly research it, it does seem like the writers are trying to make subtle hints (or not so subtle, as this clip shows)
i just find it kind of hilarious, mistake or not :D

It probably was just a joke, but it still baffles me. Would they dare make such a joke in the 60's?
Was it seriously just something that the writers didn't notice? If so, how could they not??? Having Kirk say 'Dig it in there Mr Spo...' hardly seems like something the writers would throw in without realising what it sounds like.
Alas, we will probably never know *sigh*
BuffyTrekkie 2 years ago
About your reference to the 60s, I agree. At the time, such things would shock the people. But Star Trek changed a lot of the ways people saw the world. It showed the first ever kiss between a white and black person. That's why I love Star Trek, even today, it set the standers.
artemislover23 2 years ago 6
Sh*t! What episode was this? I had started watching all the episodes one after the other in January (my intention to refresher before going to see the movie) and I totally forgot about this scene!? Mind you, I had to stretch my viewing over a long period of time because my mom doesn't like the original series as much so it would get on her nerves, so if this is from season one, my forgetting it is understandable.
LouisElegantRequiem 2 years ago
LOL. wow... wow. Fail, Kirk, fail. and I love how Spock is like "wtf SHUTTUP DUMBASS"
mind, this was in the 60's, when they just didn't DO gay on TV, so it was probably accidental. still. LOL.

Great scene. xD It's funny how they blame Kirk's behaviour on lack of sleep. I'm sure he hasn't gotten much rest because he's been too busy getting that kink in his back. Bringing the bedroom to the bridge indeed!

does anyone notice he says "dig in there mr sp-" and stops :P
kitsono 2 years ago
Hmm. Some things I want to point out.
1) Spock raises an eyebrow and looks teed off as Yeoman starts massaging. (Dude, the eyebrow. NINE THOUSAND on the Vulcan emotion-o-metre!)
2) IS; your vids use heaps of scenes in which Spock "casually" puts his hands on Kirk's seat. Does it seems too... I don't know the word... Familiar? Intimate? All the other characters seem to respect the seat metaphor-- even McCoy.
<3 <3 <3 Logic.
nickleformythoughts 2 years ago 18
Perhaps the word you are looking for is...Territorial. Spock does mark his territory quite well...LOL
yutu34 2 years ago 6
^^ I love you for this!! It's so true about the seat. Kirk seems awfully territorial about his seat, but of course Spock has no boundaries. :D
ImaginarySanity 2 years ago
One could also point out that Spock also sits on that chair occasionally so he wouldn't consider it as "sacred" as the other crewmen would. But I like your explanaiton better :-D

LouisElegantRequiem 2 years ago
You know what? They never really explained this scene. I'm not sure what the writer's intentions were for creating it.
Putting aside my admittedly subjective slash reading of it, what *was* the original reason for this? Afterall, EVERYTHING means something. (When film's so expensive, you make every second count.)
Do you think it was suggesting that Kirk had overestimated how close he and Spock were? Then again, that's also a pretty homoerotic reading. Nothing for it--- SLASH CONFIRMED!
nickleformythoughts 2 years ago 7
I'd like to hear ANY other explanation that vaguely makes sense...this is what it appears to be.

I'm trying to think of a totally harmless, straight reason for putting this scene in and nothing comes to mind. Absolutely nothing that makes sense. I'd also like to hear why they put this scene in.
