Oh my God, his head would be the size of a planet if Mum's version of the captain knew about that saving-Lucifer episode.

And what about the giant Mister Spock clone? .. You're right, this series is gold.

Forgive me, but... I suddenly find this video appropriate.

[ FACE IN HANDS FOREVER. ]

I can't even articulate my feelings right now. I think my writer accurately summed them up as "WTF".

[original_fine]

I'm sorry, David.

I think I should feel worse than I do.

[protomatter]

I can tell you're very sympathetic. No one should ever have to sit through so many seasons of how-many-women-can-my-father-seduce-in-one-episode.

[original_fine]

Hey, most of that is not my fault.

[protomatter]

Yeah, uh-huh, you had nothing to do with it. Women just fall conveniently into your arms.

[peptides]

[ threadjacking for just this face right here. whatever you say, jim kirk. ]

[peptides]

[ just. just staring for a second — give her a moment. ]

Yeah, my player seems to agree.

[protomatter]

[ A W K W A R D. you're so young, mum. 8'( ]

Um. [ k he can do this. ] Yeah, it just gets better every episode.

[peptides]

[ very awkward, because you're supposed to be an infant. not all grown up and dear lord, you look like your father. ]

Good for those moments when you just need a good laugh, huh?

[protomatter]

[ just wait until you find out he's starting his doctorate sometime this year. ]

Well, you know him. He has drama down to an art, even in animated form.

[peptides]

[ as if having a child already didn't already make her feel old as it is! ]

Yeah, I do know him. Very well. He [ say something nice, carol, not something bitter ] could be an actor with those dramatics of his if he ever decided to give Starfleet a rest.

[ ha, like that'll ever happen. if jim kirk were capable of quitting starfleet, she wouldn't be a single mother hellbent on ensuring the son didn't turn out like the father. ]

[protomatter]

Like that'll ever actually happen. I don't think he has it in him to give up the adventure of it. .. Either version of him, actually.

[ a small shake of his head. ] He can't recognize a good thing when he has it. [ might be a little protective of his mum whatever age she's at. ]

[peptides]

[ a small, sad smile followed by a nod. ]

He wouldn't be Jim Kirk if he wasn't knee deep in Starfleet. Or blind to the connections that aren't on board that ship of his.
