When I watched the reruns of TOS growing up, I always had the strongest urge to throw myself against Spock's emotional unavailability. Some precursor instinct to headbutting brick walls, I think.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, Spock is the moody Philosophy major of the crew. Kirk is the overachieving football captain/Rhodes scholar, and Checkov is the adorable exchange student.

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

The funny part was, I'm so used to Kirk's type, I would have probably gone for him out of habit, even though he wouldn't do anything for me below the belt.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm the opposite. As someone shitty with emotional intimacy myself, I could only imagine myself in a relationship with Spock as awkward and stiff, haha.

[pantswarrior]

Yeah, same. If I was "dating" Spock, we'd just kinda... sit there. And maybe talk science, and there would be no chemistry between us.

...Actually I just had an epiphany; maybe the reason I favor Bones is because I'm too much like Spock and I ship Spock/Bones. Or maybe the reason I ship Spock/Bones is because I'm too much like Spock. Chicken or egg here...

[(Anonymous)]

I am very much like Spock, I ship Spock/Bones, and Bones is my favourite character. So, I don't know which came first either, but you may be onto something there.

[(Anonymous)]

Huh. Just adding in the chorus of the 'I totally identify with Spock, I ship Spock/Bones, and Bones is my favorite character'.

[(Anonymous)]

Been rewatching TOS lately, and I think Kirk may be just as emotionally unavailable. I don't think I'll mention to my husband that this is making Kirk more attractive to me.

[(Anonymous)]

He seems to fall in "love" very quickly, but probably falls out just as quickly. He is an explorer, after all.

When Kirk holds you close and starts whispering about the stars, though, you're done. There's no point in resisting.

[(Anonymous)]

The only one true love of Kirk's life is the Enterprise. (Another failing of the reboot movies not getting that)

[(Anonymous)]

I actually think Spock was a bit of a closet romantic in places, given things like his parents' example, the fact that he's either read or at least knows of The Musketeers (calling Sulu 'd'Artagnan'), the way he was with Zarabeth on Sarpeidon ... If you could be pragmatic enough to propose it as a logical arrangement, and make allowances for things like, oh, work, death, him being on the other side of the quadrant for long stretches, and him being soulmated to at least two other people, I think you could probably get something pretty tender in the gaps there.

I don't know. With Spock you'd probably want to be at least a little polyamorous in nature, and very pragmatic about certain things, but I wouldn't completely rule him out.

Let's not forget when he recited Byron's 'she walks in beauty' to Uhura. Kollos or not he did read poetry and he even translated the meaning of her name from her african language.

Spock makes me think about people like Chopin or Schubert or some novel writers: they were introvert and socially awkward but sweet and romantic at heart.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, that was Kollos, not Spock.

[(Anonymous)]

You sure about that?
I think that Kollos was giving voice to Spock's thoughts.
After all, Kirk and McCoy were indeed crew mates whom Spock considered his friends and no one doubts that, why find it implausible that what he said about Uhura was as accurate? A little less implausible to me than Kollos knowing about Byron, and that the Swahili word Uhuru meant freedom.
