the boys are BACK
headcanon: vulcans become convinced that humans are physically incapable of saying vulcan names correctly, so they just Deal With It. until one day someone runs into a human who speaks hebrew and she gets their name right on the first try
“my clan name contains phonemes that humans cannot pronounce, you do not need to-”
“what? it’s just s'chn t'gai, right?”
“[long pause] …yes. [takes out roster of vulcan crew members] do these next”
she ends up with a group of Deliberately Not Excited vulcans standing around her listening intently to her saying names
“spock”
“you pronounced that admirably”
kirk in the background: “THAT’S HOW I SAY IT”
“no it is not, captain”
I am HERE FOR THIS
I wanted to let you all know that there is a Bones action figure hanging out on the Surgeon’s sign in NASA Johnson’s current Mission Control Center.
For context, there is a doctor on shift at all times in mission control in order to assist with any medical emergencies that may arise in space (primarily with the International Space Station at the moment).
I nearly burst into tears when I noticed it. I wish De was around to see the impact he has had even now.
