Hi, welcome, to the Star Trek fandom!
Whether you’re young or old, a newbie or an oldie, we welcome you!
If you became a part of it through Benedict, or through TOS, or The Next Generation, welcome!
Liked the films but never watched the series? Hi, it’s great to have you!
I know it’s going to be great serving with you, cadet. Welcome aboard the Enterprise, and don’t forget to pick up your Starfleet uniform on the way in.
*don’t grab the red ones
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, with 38,387 points. He’s now 65. But once upon a time he was just another black kid growing up in Manhattan.
In New York magazine’s great “Childhood in New York” issue, he talks about moving from Harlem to Inwood and being among the first black people in the neighborhood. His mom was harassed at the supermarket because the manager insisted she was shoplifting, and there was a constant fear he’d get beaten up en route to school by the Irish kids.
“I remember I saw a man get out of a Rolls-Royce—the man was Caucasian, and his driver was black. I said to the driver, “I’m gonna have a car like that one day.”

Also, can we talk about how many costume changes Bones had? It’s like every other hour he went to his quarters and thought to himself, “WHAT FABULOUS DAMN FROCK AM I GONNA WEAR NOW? JIM SAYS THIS ONE BRINGS OUT MY EYES, BUT JIM’S A MORON.”
I counted 4 different costumes.
Also, first time Bones has worn the medical badge (with the red cross)? y/n? I’ve only ever seen the science badge on his uniform, TOS/AOS.

AND NOW THE SHIPS BEGIN
The navigator who made you orgasm every time she appeared onscreen is Navigation Officer Darwin, played by Aisha Hinds.
The BAMF with the white hair is unnamed (but give fandom like five minutes, just you wait). She was played by Jodi Johnston and was credited as “U.S.S. Enterprise Bridge Crew.” This was Jodi’s first film, but if you want to see more of her, check out her modeling work under the name Jodi Ilene.
The android / cybernetically enhanced humanoid is Science Officer 0718, played by Joseph Gatt. (Fun fact: Gatt is a model and is super pretty without his shirt on.)
Also, Cupcake is back, and he’s actually credited as “Cupcake” this time instead of “Burly Cadet”! His real name is Hendorff, and he’s played by Jason Matthew Smith.
And last but never least, Madeline, played by Kimberly Broumand (née Kimberly Arland). This cap is from Star Trek (2009), but if anyone has a screencap of her from Into Darkness, please feel free to reblog and add it!
Yes, Jim, what about Bones’s performance?
Listen, I’m not one of those snobs who will be like YOU’RE NOT A REAL FAN IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE ORIGINALS, but I’m gonna tell you right now: you are missing out on some fucking GEMS if you haven’t. *Especially* if you’re a Bones fan. I love Karl Urban as Bones, I really do, but DeForrest Kelley was 100% amazing as Leonard McCoy. He was my favorite character and every time he opens his mouth it’s like the gods of sass are raining manna from the heavens.
1000% accurate. there is no bones quite like deforrest’s bones. where d’you think the sassy framework for karl urban’s snarkmaster came from? FROM HERE, KIDS. Watch that: seven minutes of Original Series Kirk/Spock/Bones goodness (bonus nurse Chapel at the end!!). WATCH IT. DO IT DO IT DO IT.
