Shatner is incapable of not flirting with whatever is directly in front of him. It’s always a joy to watch.

[@kitcat7538]

@Charles Ross William Shatner is known to be a tease and, on the set of TOS, was continually clowning around and trying to make the cast and crew laugh. He is, however, a superb actor. He can say anything with his face and his voice is always pitch-perfect. That comes from his classical training. He was with a Shakespearean repertory company as a young actor. James Kirk probably left a string of half-human children across the Alpha Quadrant. It would be a great idea for a spin-off series if they were to seek one another out and band together: Star Trek: The Progeny But I wouldn't want it produced by the sadistic vermin who are producing JunkTrek at the moment. We would need to wait until that lot are thrown out.

I wonder if they were going for something like "At his side, as if you've always been there and always will" with Riker and Picard. Because I can't make sense of Riker giving orders instead of Picard when Picard is present. So I thought, they might know each other so well, that Riker knows Picard's mind. Still, Kirk would have stopped anyone instantly if they took command, except for that one instance where McCoy told Spock to "shut up, we're rescuing you."

[@harlequeenchannel]

You know what made me hooked on the show? When my mom took me to see Star Trek The Motion Picture in theaters on its 40th anniversary. What really got me was throughout the first half of the movie Kirk is acting like a usual captain, commanding and a little cold, even to Bones. But I shit you not, when Spock walks through the Enterprise doors to the control room, Kirk lights up and says in the most heartfelt way, "Spock!". Boom, dead, knew I was never going back from before I knew of these two's adorable relationship.

[@marvble_shmarvble]

I remember how I started shipping K/S. I was looking for Star Trek vids on KZbin, and encountered a couple of vids like these. I thought that the people shipping them were crazy, but when I started watching the episodes, I began to see why people shipped them. I am now going through the series a second time looking exclusively for Kirk/Spock moments and would die for this ship

Something to point out, there is no direct translation to 'friend' in Vulcan. The only similar translation is Th'y'la, meaning friend/brother/lover. Spock could technically be saying, "When I feel love for you I feel ashamed"

[@marvble_shmarvble]

In that scene, Spock catches and briefly holds Kirk’s hand before it can slap him again, and afterward, he seemed to gain back his mental stability. Vulcans are touch telepaths, so my theory is in that moment, Kirk and Spock’s minds touched and Spock gained some mental stability back. UwU LoGiC

[@KreativeSpinnerin]

@@marvble_shmarvble You could be absolutely be right about that, I've never seen it that way, but it sounds really good. 💕

[@KreativeSpinnerin]

I've actually never understood, why he said, that he is ashamed of feeling friendship for Kirk. Does he mean the Feeling in general, or the Fact that Jim is his Friend? Are Vulcans not allowed to have Friends? In the "Pon Farr" Episode, he talked about, that close Friends, are allowed to escort the Participant to the Ceremony. So that doesn't make sense to me. But especially for the T'hyla Bit, I agree with you. It fits pretty good, especially in the Med Bay Scene of TMP, the "simple Feeling" Spock talkes about, is nothing else than Love in my honest opinion. Especially because, we later see that VGer, is interested in the Motivations of the Love Couple, it later joins with, to terminally complete itself.

[@rebeccaquartieri5509]

When I feel friendship for you I feel ashamed is what Spock actually said to Kirk in "the naked time". Kirk was trying to smack some sense into him before they potentially crashed into the planet below them.

[@QuarterLifeCrises]

6:15 after Kirk slightly reprimands Spock and insists that the creature be killed, he suggests Spock go help Scotty instead of searching for the creature. Spock argues this but notice the change in his voice and the slight stammer. He's scared. He's scared Kirk is angry with him for countering his orders regarding killing the creature and wants to send him away. Spock cares so much for Jim and his friendship that the idea that this could harm their relationship is scary to him. When Kirk clarifies that he wants Spock away for his safety you can note the immediate change in his voice, it sounds more normal even as he argues to stay, going back to calculating probabilities again. The relief is palpable.

[@PassTheMarmalade1957]

I remember how Yeoman Rand had an obvious crush on Kirk, and there were moments where Spock seemed to be unnecessarily scathing towards her. Once, he implied that she was attracted to Kirk's evil duplicate, despite the fact that the duplicate had assaulted her, and another time he pointed out that Miri was technically old enough to have a relationship with Kirk, seemingly just to make Rand jealous. Don't like her, do you, Spock? Why is that, I wonder???

[@ChristyKSweet]

He was a bit.. afraid of attractive woman. He liked them is why. Touching used to be considered normal, now in hyper-sexland, it's implied intercourse.

[@jaSama02]

@@ChristyKSweet it's not that touching suggests a relationship or romantic feelings - the manner of the touching does. Connected with the flirtatious dialogues, and deep care they have for eachother, no wonder people wonder if they're a couple. I am friends with a lot of women, I'm also in a relationship with one. Straight, Bi, or gay - women tend to be more physically affectionate with eachother. But I know the difference between friendly touches, friendly stares, and friendly affection, and the romantic ones, pinning ones. The argument "people were more affectionate back then" doesn't stand.

[@laviniaharris4281]

@@jaSama02 I know this was two years ago but "people were more affectionate back then" really IS not enough of an accurate statement, especially considering Spock and Kirk are men, and even back then the way men were treated for having any particular emotion that made them less macho meant alot of their friendships outwardly werent as touchy feely

Personally I like *slap* *slap* "You've! Got-ta! Hear me!" *slap*

[@KristiKrunch]

Spock: I felt for him, too. Jim: *thinking* YOU WERE HAVING AN EMOTION?

[@anthonycerulli5524]

Did anyone notice that Spock smiled when he said earth emotions? He was clearly feeling an emotion at that moment.

[@PMW3]

"that is always my intention, Captain" I thought that Vulcans didn't lie

[@08starheart]

It's just amazing to see how young Shatner looks...

Just a few days ago,the K/S pairing came to my attention. Though i've heard of Star Trek my whole life, i'd never paid much attention or ever actually watched it. But being a huge slash fan, i decided to try YT and watch what i could find...and i'm loving it! I know so very little about the show, i'm not a trekkie, yet i love Kirk and Spock's chemistry! Still haven't seen an episode; they're amazingly difficult to find, so i can't tell you how much i appreciate you summarizing all their moments!

[@flaggerify]

The chemistry evident here is sorely lacking in the new movies.

[@petscraftsandwonderfulthin1279]

They haven't been friends for long in the new movies yet. I wish they'd make another one.

[@rachelfarmer3722]

*SPOILERS* Bro in Into Darkness Spock literally goes bat crazy after Kirk dies. He’s so enraged at Khan he literally would have killed a man who has freaking regenerative blood. The only reason Khan didn’t die was that Uhura said they needed him to save Kirk. If that doesn’t show a lot about their relationship, idk what does. Even the fact that during that movie their relationship is still kinda new, but Spock still went that crazy, is extremely telling.

[@QuarterLifeCrises]

@@rachelfarmer3722 I think the op is talking about the chemistry between the actors/characters, which doesn't need a history between them. There are fewer dramatic moments in TOS but it still made people ship them so hard just based on the chemistry, their banter, etc. The new movies might make a point to write about the friendship between Kirk and Spock but it does lack a certain spark. For example, in the new movies Kirk and Pike have good chemistry. Their father-son relationship comes through very well without the need to verbalize it and you believe it even before you see Kirk grieve for Pike. McCoy and Kirk's chemistry is also good. The chemistry in the new movies isn't bad, just a bit lacking compared to TOS. Say TOS didn't exist and the new movies stood on their own and the names Kirk and Spock didn't mean anything, then you wouldn't really see epic ship worthy material in them. The new movies were my introduction to Star Trek and I didn't get why people shipped K/S so hard. Then I watched TOS and understood.

[@rachelfarmer3722]

@@QuarterLifeCrises ahhhhh ok I see what you mean. Thank you for the clarification

[@itexplodes3824]

It's missed

[@smulderalert]

"Mr Spock, you're a stubborn man" Looks at Spock's, lips parted, flits his eyes up and down Spock's face, leaning in... Please Captain, contain yourself

[@TheRealTorG]

A being without emotion. On paper, the role of Spock should require little skill if any, and yet it is played so masterfully.

[@indranidasgupta8982]

Actually, Vulcans have emotions. They are actually MUCH stronger and more violent than Humans'. Hence, the necessary control.

[@BluebirdsOver]

Omg 2:16 probably only looks moderately slashy...until you realize later than Vulcans kiss/make love through their hands. So basically, what just happened here is Kirk slapped Spock and then they furiously made out. #justsayin

[@justmyopinion4409]

@Charles Ross Yknow homophobes that preach about love being only between men and women tend to be closet gays and lesbians themselves

[@0oFullMoono0]

5:05 Wow, he went straight for Spock. (Don't they usually use whoever-they-are-trying-to-threaten's beloved one when they want their way with others?)

[@KnightsaysNi]

3:27-3:38 Love it, completely forgot anyone else was in the room. XD

[@tobiashitsman6273]

2:50 Kirk didn’t say he needs Spock to help run the ship he just says he needs him

[@0714will]

I almost spit out my coffee at the end of this video.!! 😂 Absolutely flipping hilarious!! I did not see that coming!

[@xxxgalaxisxxx662]

Spock: "My legs -... are broken." 😶 Me when my legs are broken: 😱 - >😫 -> 😭 - > ☠️ -> 🚑

[@DCLsMusic]

OMG!! I abs loved this!! When Spock said "When I feel friendship for you, I'm ashamed" It felt so awkward for some reason... xD

[@axolotl593]

My family and I watch an episode every night and my brother and I always take a photo when he stares at Spock like that. It’s taken up a lot of my data

[@blueskybelyr]

4:35, best moment ever. God, they really are like a couple...

[@owlsofthenight_yt2000]

Am i the only one who notice that at 2:31 when spock realise he hit kirk. He froze . IF THAT Ain't LOVE I DONT KNOW WHAT IS

[@TheLighterwolf]

4:37 that was the point where I lost it

[@mrsjamescottage]

"When I feel friendship for you, I feel ashamed."

[@ReineDesCanards]

Best final image ever.

[@stargazer0016]

Did you see Spock's SMILE in the beginning!

[@kimoniki21]

🎶THE AMBIGUOUSLY GAY DUO🎶 (lol but seriously I love them)

[@Ifmdvjgoo]

Lmao I began singing 😂

[@lucyhartwell2134]

They look like they’re about to kiss at the end of every single one of these scenes

[@Voihyvanenaika]

I absolutely love you for making this

[@miaisabella4073]

The look on Spock's face at 04:33 is absolutely hilarious.

[@Wolfy4Phoenix]

Haha! "That's it. A little higher please. Push. Push harder! Dig it in there Mr Spock..." ROFLOL.

[@ShadowFanGirl237]

It's not so hard to accept that slash originated HERE anymore.

[@AnzuBrief]

4:32 Spock is so jelous... 4:35 Jim see that 4:37 Jim feel guilty XD

[@jinxingxuelang]

7:52 is it just me or is Spock about to collapse out of relief?

[@teresacurrent6391]

those lingering glances with a slow smile tho 😏

[@Rx2D]

They're soulmates, end of story.

[@tomf3150]

Yep, brothers from txo worlds.

[@Rx2D]

@@tomf3150 sorry, I don’t support incest.

[@paintthecosmos840]

They both have martyr complexes and protective instincts. It's beautiful in the way that it hurts my soul

[@lazyhazeldaisy9596]

WOW! I think Spock showed a lot of love towards the Captain in 'Devil in the Dark' it just kept on coming didn't it, Bless him.

[@willshedo]

Charly:"why" Kirk:"you need me to run the ship. And I need him!"
