“Sometimes I get the feeling the only way we could achieve a STAR TREK segment on budget would be to have 60 minutes of Mister Spock playing a kazoo solo as Captain Kirk holds him in his arms while standing in a telephone booth.”
— Robert Justman, Producer of Star Trek: TOS, quoted in These Are the Voyages, TOS Season One
I love just about every bit of the Star Trek - The Fall: The Crimson
Shadow, by Una McCormack, but this bit is my favorite part. Toward the
very end when Garak and Parmak are awaiting the results of the election.
One of the most beautiful scenes I’ve ever read in science fiction.
Cecil. She/her. During the day I sit in libraries staring at books. During the night I write queer fanfiction with a historical slant.
Some not-so-random facts: Gay space lizards are the best lizards. Star Trek is my life. I have too many DS9 ships. Classic Who and the Eighth Doctor Adventures make me grin stupidly. Kelas Parmak is the best. I will defend historically accurate portrayals of Alan Turing to the last drop of blood. Likes and asks end up in the name of @apolesens-otheraccount, because Tumblr doesn't have a way of changing which blog is your primary one. Nothing happens over there - this is the one to follow.
