You yourself said this was before he wrote Star Trek, the similarities, thereforte are coincidential, Unless you'd wish to peg it under thart dreadful season 3 hippy episode.
I still didn't see part 2 of this episode so I can't tell, but.
In regards for Star Trek, the only thing I can say is that perhaps Mr Roddenberry could hire Mr Sturgeon to flesh out the reltionship between Kirk and Spock in the homoerotic way. The right way, in my oppinion.
Ok, As much as I totally love your show and and your analysys...
To quote Harbinger: HUMAN. THIS CHANGES NOTHING.
In this part, only thing you proved was the fact that Sturgeon was a slash fan, going was beyond his age of McCarthism to promote equal rights in sexuality.
It's a beautiful and meaningful fact. But it has nothing to do with Kirk/Spock.
I actually read The World Well Lost a few years ago and for some weird reason I never made the connection between Kirk/Spock and Roots/Grunty; I was too busy just sitting back and admiring Sturgeon's heaping amounts of gay. I now feel incredibly slow and I really need to re-read this story OMG.
Oh my god, when I saw this on my login page, I very literally choked on the apple I was eating. I'm watching the amazing new intro and coughing like crazy BUT IT'S ALL SO WORTH IT! :D
Speaking of Shore Leave, I just uploaded my first Spirk video and it deals with that episode. Take a peek! It's the only video on my page thus far, and it's called Control Your Thoughts. Looking to connect with the rest of the Spirk community. :)
The wait for this was SO worth it! Wonderful, A++++, and overall GLORIOUS. <3333
Also: "the only way to ruin their friendship would be to explain it to Roots."
Notice any similarities to how the anti-K/Sers claim that thinking about Kirk and Spock's "special friendship" in anything other than a 100% nonsexual way (contrary to the mountains of lovely slashy evidence) would ruin TOS for them????
I miss the table. It gave you a talk show host kind of appeal. If it's money, heck, I'd BUY the table and pay to ship it to you. I'd send you my white marble one, but it's kind of short (like traditional japanese dinner table short). You would have to sit on the floor.
Woo! One of my favorite vidders made the new intro, and what a beautiful intro it was! Have waited long and patiently for more tSC episodes but you never disappoint... please don't let us wait very long for the next part!
1) I have missed you in Spacehusbandland, though sharing Wincestland has been fun. 2) I need to read this fucking book. 3)Your intro looks and sounds like it could be part of a porno. This pleases me.
@bigmamag2 The intro looks like a porno, huh? XD I hope by this you mean a very classy, badass porno with great dialogue and accurately portrayed (but awesome) sex scenes right?
I just wanted to say that I found you through tumblr, and it was this video, and I was like 'Huh, but I should watch the others first...' So I did. AND YOU ARE A GENIUS. Seriously, I think I love you. And I was happy to see that this was you 'returning' ´, meaning there will be more. :D I think I can use this on my sister, she's a bit in denial about Spock and Kirk. Also, when I was talking to her about the characters I ACCIDENTALLY (Really.) said 'Spirk and Kock'... Awkward.
OMG OMG OMG!!!! I have(not even kidding) been checking your page everyday for the last...idek how long to see if you had uploaded anymore videos. I am subscribed to your channel...but I just had to make sure.
My floor is covered in squee right now!! SO excited!!!
*crying* This is beautiful. I can't even. I had heard of "The World Well Lost" but had never drawn the connection between Roots/Grunty and Kirk/Spock -- I was too busy flailing about the fact that there was overt gay going on in a story written in the fifties by a writer who'd go on to write episodes of Star Trek.
I LOVE YOU, CAPTAIN.

Ahhh, this episode was so interesting! I always knew Theodore Sturgeon had some kind of connection to gay subtext, but I never knew the precise details! It was pretty cool to actually hear about it! Made me want to read the story myself... :P
I'm so happy you're back! Kudos on the new TSC theme. Can't wait for part two. In the mean time i'll just have to while my time away with ST eps, ks fanfiction and Skyrim... darn you boring holidays. ---ignore rant of boredom--- *gives hug and jumps on magical unicorn riding off into the rainbow sunset*
Off to hunt down that story, for purely academic purposes *coff coff*
SHE'S BACK! I've been away from ST for a bit too, but if anything could get me out of K/S hybernation, it's TSC. You never fail to be funny and intelligent with your deadpan sarcasm :D
This is exactly why, although I can be swayed back and forth on whether or not Roddenberry intended K/S, I will defend to the death Sturgeon's intentions with Amok Time. There's no way it was an accident, he knew exactly what he was doing.
HHOLY MOTHER FREAKING SHIT. I CAN'T WATCH RIGHT NOW BUT YOU'VE GIVEN ME A HEART ATTACK AT 9:21 IN THE MORNING. OMFGDSG *GLOMMMMMMMMPPPPPPPPPP* Don't ever leave us *whimper*
You're wonderful. And that was an extremely wonderful story - I might have to track it down. Can't wait for part 2! Glad to have you back at the wheel, Cap'n.
*ahm* now that I've clam down a bit and watched the vid I would like to say welcome back, I hope you plan on staying long. :)
I want to ask thow, what happen to the table? I guess it dosent matter I just hope he's doing ok. Pluse your cutts are a bit jaring, tho I guess your not working with the best camra from the looks of it. But it dont matter to much, your still funny and your reports still mind blowing, and realing. The damn thing realed itself right into a wall.
SO good to see you again! And with a shiny new intro too. I'd heard before that Sturgeon was known for homosexual subtext, but the breakdown of his short story was fascinating. I love learning new things :)
You are brilliant and amazing and omg you just made my night you have no idea!!!! I need to go read that story now!! Soooo glad to have you back! *HUGS*
I have a sudden need to find and read that story... For absolutely no known reason. I am looking forward to the section on Bread and Circuses because I love that episode... well a specific a specific part of the episode, you know which one.
Goddamn woman, I swear you're the most professional fan of Kirk/Spock I've ever seen, and you've made so many arguments against it invalid. Thank you for this video, which only adds more supporting evidence. On another note, welcome back! May your videos be ever more awesome and live long and prosper.
