Spock talking about his mother considering herself fortunate to marry a Vulcan:
Pt. 2 COMING UP
Pt. 2
Oh no! Spock isn’t giving me a back rub! Go away pretty woman.
WELL HERE IT IS
Let’s not forget that the series DEFINES ROMANTIC LOVE as someone you’d “lie, cheat, steal…sacrifice your career, your reputation” for (Dagger of the Mind); and “… more important than anything? Is he as though he were a part of you?” (Metamorphosis)
AND THEN IN THE SEARCH FOR SPOCK (having already had a dry run in Amok Time) HE DOES THIS FOR
“T H E . N O B L E S T . P A R T . O F . M Y S E L F”
“There may be hope for you yet” as a synonym to “i love you”… garak saying this to bashir after their lunch and bashir laughing… harley and ivy getting together in TAS and ivy saying this after harley blows up a bunch of misogynistic assholes… kirk saying i believe there’s some hope for you after all, mr. spock after spock smiles…
I think the best thing about Amok Time is that it is canon that satisfying the Pon Farr is equivalent to marriage on Vulcan. Usually this is done with sex, and since T’Pring challenged the winner would have gotten to marry her via sex while the loser would have been dead…
but since Jim didn’t die, spock satisfied his Pon Farr with him, AND he did no frickle frackle with T’Pring, for all intents and purposes, Jim and Spock are canonically married by Vulcan law.
And idk I just picture that the next time T’Pau calls spock she’s just like “and how fares your husband” and spock is just like “hold up what husband.”
T’Pau: “your husband. James Kirk.”
Spock: “gRANDMOTHER THE CAPTAIN IS NOT MY HUSBAND. YOU ARE MIXING UP THE ENGLISH WORDS AGAIN.”
T’Pau: “You rolled with him in the sands and did not die. He lives and therefore he is your husband. You rOLLED WITH HIM IN THE SACRED SANDS GRANDSON. Also your father and mother believe he is. Your mother has knitted him sweaters.”
