sure spock's first pon farr was memorable but i don't think we talk enough about the ones after 2267. it's mate or DIE. every seven years.

so what about 2274. 2281. 2288. i can keep going. how'd we solve those ones, mr spock? oh, you plead the fifth? i bet you do

Avatar

hang on, Spock went through pon farr in 2285 when he died and came back to life. wouldn't that reset the counter, so to speak?

maybe the reason the Enterprise is scheduled for decommissioning in 2293 (in Star Trek VI) is because Spock went through his fifth pon farr the year before and it was such a doozy it caused the destruction of three Gorn warships and Betazed nearly leaving the Federation

imagine though, the devastation Sarek and Amanda must have felt when Spock died at the end of Wrath of Khan. remember at that point Michael had been gone for 30 years. Sybok was probably already on Nimbus III, they likely hadn't seen him in years and didn't know if they ever would again. and then to find out that Spock, their only remaining child, has died and been shot out into space, a section of space now under 50 different kinds of quarantine so they couldn't even salvage any remnant of the son they once had, whom Sarek likely had not spoken to in decades. the pain must have been unimaginable

#probably why amanda didnt show up at kirks place in star trek iii. she wouldve threatened to stab him with a broken bottle#s'chn t'gai family#spock#sarek#amanda grayson#a post by me™

imagine being average federation citizen doing a wikipedia dive on Amanda Grayson for like a book report or whatever and you click on “spouse” and it links you to a guy who was thee vulcan ambassador to earth for like 200 years and publicly called the klingon ambassador a murderer once and you think huh neat and click on “children” and the first person listed is described as “career criminal, activist and religious evangelist” with a rap sheet as long as your arm ending with him taking the entire government hostage in nimbus iii and then no death date he's just listed as “missing” and the second kid is a starfleet science hero you've seen on the poster of like 7 different documentaries on space netflix and you notice his year of death is listed as 2285 but “years active” goes on like 100 years past that and also he's apparently the reason earth isn't completely underwater right now? then you read his sister's article and it's all “starfleet's first mutineer” “blamed for starting the first federation-klingon war” “lauded for ending the first federation-klingon war” but is weirdly vague on what happened to her after that and the article is edit locked and her year of death has like 6 annotations attached to it

Bonus: The average Federation citizen looking this up is T'Pring and Ston's kid.

I don't know how Vulcan culture views asking your mom about her ex, but I imagine it's a bit awkward.

“Mother, didn't you almost marry that guy?”

“Yes, offspring, but he was too famous. He homoerotically strangled his boss half to death about it and then he was fine. Then I think he got his brain stolen? It was a while ago.”

"You never forget your first death"

Okay so off the top of my head...

  • Scotty (killed by Nomad)
  • McCoy (killed by Shore Leave planet)
  • Leslie (killed by cloud monster)
  • Spock (died in engineering)
  • Kirk (Prime, died on the Enterprise-B)
  • Kirk (Kelvinverse, died in engineering)
  • Worf (falls off a balcony)
  • Data (destroyed on the Scimitar)
  • Dax (hosts have died multiple times)
  • Neelix (can't remember tbh)
  • Stamets (remembers every death on Discovery time loop)
  • Culber (neck snapped)
  • Gray (ship hit by asteroid)
  • Picard (artificial heart failure)
  • Picard (Irumodic Syndrome)
  • Shaxs (died saving the Cerritos)
  • Boimler (blown up)

And they all came back.

Also, Harry Kim, Miles O'Brien and Phillipa Georgiou were killed and replaced with duplicates from other times and realities but that doesn't really count. Plus duplicates of the entire Voyager crew died and there have been time loop episodes where the Enterprise-D and Discovery were destroyed over and over. But they don't remember those except Stamets on Discovery.

And that's just in TV and movies! Did I miss any?

  • Worf also died like 2 other times on TNG, one time Q killed him with a bunch of US civil war soldiers and Riker brought him back with Q powers, and I think he technically also died during the surgery from that whole stupid barrel thing but came back because Klingons can reroll death saves or something
  • there's also Elnor, who got shot dead in the Evil Federation timeline but then Q brought him back too
  • Neelix, if I recall correctly, got fried in a shuttle accident or something like that. Seven revived him with nanoprobes, accidentally disproving his religion and causing him to have a whole existential crisis about it.
  • I hadn't even thought of Kirk on the Enterprise-B as a death, but I guess the Nexus is kind of the afterlife! Luckily it has a fire exit but then he got a bridge dropped on him :( (in the Shatnerverse novels I think the Romulans bring him back to life with modified Borg nanoprobes or something)
  • speaking of novels, the old novelverse did Janeway real dirty. she got eaten by a fucked up Borg cube, turned into a Borg Queen and then exploded and thus missed the Great Big Borg Invasion which was then blamed on her because her future self messed with time. supposedly her death was a “fixed point” in the multiverse (excuse me, the Doctor would like a word and I don't mean the EMH) but Q's kid brought her back anyway in one of the Voyager novels.
  • Data takes the cake though, they killed that poor bastard like 3 times. according to the Jean-Luc Picard Show, after the whole Scimitar thing Bruce Maddox apparently used “nanoscopic fragments of Data's neurons” or whatever to reconstruct his mind inside a simulation. when Picard found him Data was like hey can u plz euthanize me and Picard said ok but then they found this other android that Noonien Soong's human son who's never been mentioned or alluded to before had put Data's mind inside along with all of B4 and Lore and Lal's memories, and then Data and Lore were fighting for control and Lore one by basically eating Data but by absorbing Data's entire life he became Data?? so now he's out there running around as Data and Lore I guess. but mostly Data.
  • Gray is another complex example, the Tal symbiote carried his memories into Adira but then he kept hanging around as a psychic memory ghost, which the holo-simulation on the Khieth somehow turned into an actual hologram and then they sucked him out of Adira with a syringe and put him in a robot body and he became a therapist which seems…very fitting
  • Leslie is a funny case cuz they straight up forgot he died and he just showed up in later episodes (though supposedly there was a deleted scene in “Obsession” where a magic potion brought him back to life)
  • Scotty & McCoy were brought back by the same methods that killed them — Kirk yelled at Nomad until it hit Undo on killing Scotty and the Shore Leave planet has mechanisms to “fix” guests it accidentally murders. which seems like more work than just making the illusions nonlethal, but whatever. Would be nice if Six Flags could just sew your head back on after a rollercoaster decapitates you I guess.
  • Spock only worked because of his proximity to one-of-a-kind experimental tech and the foresight to leave a backup copy of his soul inside McCoy plus a mystical ritual from the Vulcan equivalent of the Epic of Gilgamesh but Kelvin Kirk just needed a shot of Magical Khan Blood. really should keep a vial of that stuff in case of an emergency, Leonard!!
  • Picard I think technically also died that time his artificial heart exploded but presumably Q brought him back for totally hetero reasons and then yeah he died of Bad Brain Syndrome but they put him in an android body that conveniently looks and acts exactly like a 90-year-old man. this was an important plot point eventually because (spoilers for Picard S3) it turned out his BBS was actually Borg mutations and the Borg / rogue changelings used it in their evil plans
  • Shaxs is really funny bcuz we have no idea how he came back just that it involves something called “the Black Mountain”
  • Culber is also hilarious to me, CBS realized they'd made a mistake murdering one of their first two gay characters Paul manifested him by missing him really hard and then Tilly's imaginary friend from the mushroom dimension rebuilt his body out of mushrooms and with a shredded six-pack. death only made him hotter! and then he got in a fight with the guy who killed him
  • however I would argue O'Brien counts since a) he literally went into the future and died from the radiation poisoning that was making him time travel to begin with and his future self had to go back and take his place but also b) it's O'Brien

they should've replaced that stupid “nyeh nyeh nyeh your mum dead” scene from Star Trek 09 with this. just Kirk saying “penis biology? Vulcan penis biology?” at Spock until Spock kicks the shit out of him

the Sarek family is hilarious to me because you have so much drama in one place. there have got to be at least 3 like, holo-documentaries or whatever about them. how could you not?

  • you have Sarek, the patriarch: one of the UFP's top diplomats, who knocks up a Vulcan princess then goes “hrm I am ambassador to Earth therefore I should marry a human” and he does, upsetting all sorts of the worst kinds of people on his home planet and causing racist hate groups to try to blow him and his family up multiple times, and seems honestly more put out by his son joining Starfleet than his other son becoming Vulcan Moriarty
  • Amanda, the matriarch: an accomplished educator and quite possibly the only well-adjusted member of the family
  • Sybok: Amanda's stepson from the aforementioned princess fling, who becomes an antiestablishment criminal mastermind with an edgelord fake name, hooks up with a hot space pirate, finds religion, starts a cult, takes an entire colonial government hostage sparking a diplomatic incident involving three galactic superpowers, and hijacks a Starfleet ship to the galactic core to find the Vulcan Garden of Eden, where he dies fighting god in hand-to-hand combat
  • Michael, a traumatized human girl Sarek brings home from a work trip, who joins Starfleet, becomes their first-ever mutineer, goes to prison, saves the Federation from a war most people think is her fault and gets “killed” in a highly classified, very suspicious incident involving an experimental starship and a series of red lights that appeared across the galaxy like a divine omen (oh, and returns 900 years later to solve the dilithium crisis, kill the head of the Emerald Chain and save two entire star systems including her siblings' homeworld)
  • and then there's Spock, Sarek & Amanda's one-of-a-kind hybrid baby. Spock, who runs off into the desert by himself at age 7 and almost gets eaten by a venomous jaguar. Spock, who gets accepted into the Vulcan Science Academy, tells them to go fuck themselves when he finds out they're being racist about it, runs off to join Starfleet instead, gets so famous his arranged marriage falls apart resulting in him publicly strangling his own captain to death (though the guy turns out to be alive), steals the Federation flagship — twice, invents time travel, saves Earth a couple times, dies and comes back to life, goes into his dad's line of work and his opening act is to help achieve peace with the freaking Klingons. he disappears for a bit and pops up on Romulus (capital of one of the galaxy's most paranoid authoritarian states) doing extremely dangerous activist work to unify them and his dad's people who have hated each other for over a thousand years — and he isn't around to see it but it eventually works. then he fucks off with the VSA's high-speed prototype ship full of the most dangerous substance known to science and gets sucked into a black hole of his own creation, never to be seen again. and this is just the stuff that's public knowledge!

then you dig into the novels and find out Sarek's ancestor established formal contact with humans by doing the Vulcan equivalent of tongue-kissing the first one he saw, and Amanda told the press her husband had a huge cock

I love them

reblogging this with a reminder that when her son showed up on her doorstep after apparently having a nervous breakdown, killing multiple medical staff and growing a beard, Amanda “The Sane One” Grayson's response was to shrug, say I know he didn't do it and hide him in Sarek's family mausoleum

Pike and Una are gone for .03 seconds, and spock:

-steals the flagship

-convinces the crew to disobey direct orders

-fakes a warp core breach

-visits forbidden territory

- destroys another vessel

-gets drunk at a klingon rager

And people still have the *gall* to say Kirk was the troublemaker.

if I had a nickel for every time Spock stole the Enterprise, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but etc etc
