general opinion:fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them |actual love of my life hotness level:get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang || I WOULD MARRY HIM hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff best quality: I think his best quality is his adoration and devotion to his friends and who he considers his family. Vulcans are not supposed to show such emotions and yet he breaks the rules time and time again to show his love and care. worst quality: This is more of a problem I’ve had with the reboots themselves, but honestly being over-emotional when it doesn’t matter. Spock in the original series only had sparse moments with emotion when it truly did matter. In the reboots, Spock has emotional breakdowns when original Spock succeeded in using a calm head/logic to save the day or his crew. ship them with: JAMES T KIRK LEMME JUST TELL YOU AJSKSJDK (I’m not much of a reboot Spones, but I do appreciate them.) brotp them with: Uhura. I don’t ship them or like them together, because I think it takes away from who Spock is and was as a character originally. But I adore, and always have adored his friendship with her. needs to stay away from: Nero™ and Blueberrydick Crumblebitch, also Leonard Horatio McCoy after Spock wins an argument misc. thoughts: I really love Zachary Quinto. With all my heart. And I love how Leonard Nimoy adored him. So I love seeing him play Spock, even with the parts I don’t agree with. He’s soft, cute, and really grasps the love Spock holds for both Jim and McCoy. I don’t think anyone else could have done it better in the reboots. But still, Leonard’s Spock will always be my Spock.
But you know what kills me in Beyond? Just seeing Spock in so much pain.
Even as Spock climbs out the crashed craft, knowing he’s injured, he never asks for help, he just struggles to get out, and it’s the first clue something’s not right, because Spock doesn’t stumble.
And he knows, as McCoy gets him to rest against the craft so he can take a look that they don’t have time to waste and he tries to convince McCoy that they should just go and look for the crew, but he hasn’t got the energy to fight him.
And he yells out in pain. Because McCoy rips that thing right out of him and then burns his skin closed and he has nothing to kill the pain, so he just has to deal with it.
And even though he’s injured, Spock’s adamant that they will find the crew and he pushes himself on, even without McCoy’s help, he’s struggling to go on and has to rely on what’s around him to support him.
And he keeps going until his body gives out on him. He literally can’t stand the pain any more and drops to the floor.
And he sleeps/is unconscious until McCoy’s freaking out and touching him and he just denies he was doing other than thinking (yeah, okay Spock!). But they’re in a hostile territory with no weapons, no way to communicate with the others, no idea who’s still alive of the crew and this isn’t the time that Spock would start with the thinky thoughts. McCoy knows it, but doesn’t call him on it.
And he sits there, straight as always but his arm braced against the ground, like he might just flop over if he doesn’t prop himself up.
And despite just returning to consciousness, as they sit their talking, Spock can’t stop himself from drifting and losing his ability to keep himself together. He’s emotional about Ambassador Spock, about leaving Jim and he loses it when McCoy cracks a joke.
It’s a nice moment for a few seconds…..
As bad as Spock is, they have to keep going and they’ve left the cave. Spock’s hurt enough at this point that when McCoy’s stopped to try and contact the crew, Sock’s either had to, or been made to sit and rest. His breathing heavily and again if you watch him, he seems to be struggling to stay with it. He’s also started to hunch himself over.
McCoy is now having to bear more of Spock’s weight as they move (considering how heavy we know a Vulcan is, this must also take a bit out of McCoy). Spock stumbles along the whole way. He didn’t attempt to continue on under his own strength at this point. He’s totally relying on McCoy’s help to keep going. Given the conversation they have, i would suspect it isn’t the first time Spock had suggest he gets left behind. He knows he is seriously hindering McCoy at this point.
Finally somewhere safe, as Bones is beamed onboard the Franklin, we can see Spock hunched up in the background with Jim.
During the conversation between the three of them, Spock stays slightly hunched. Kirk is mimicking his body language. I also think his eyes look a bit panicked here, like he can tell he isn’t going to last much longer.
Another touch here is Spock holding on to Jim while he’s talking to him here.
And then he’s gone. No cry of pain like the last time he collapsed, he simply can’t stand any longer. McCoy was seemingly ready for it this time getting a good hold on him.
And then he’s seated briefly before Jim gets him a makeshift pillow and he’s told to lay down and he doesn’t even protest, he just needs help to slide himself into a laying position.
And we see a little sweat on Spock’s face. There’s just a tiny bit and I wonder if this was a decision to only do a small bit as it would surely not be natural for Vulcan’s to sweat like a human and if Spock’s sweating it’s another sign of hiw bad he is right here.
And even though he’s just laying there, he can’t help but let out a little whimper of pain.
