Come one, come all to Bill Shatner’s School of Overacting!
Forget subtle, nuanced performances. Those are boring and forgettable. Learn how to say your lines with gusto!
In this course you will learn such techniques as…
- The double fist shake
- The naughty kitten
- The cultural appropriation
- The self bitch slap
- The enthusiastic mime stuck in a box
- The nipple hardener
- The sweaty declaration of self
- The “this wall is amazing”
And many more!
#what kills me- #what kills me about this #is the way Jim shifts his hand #because he’s scared #and he was alone #but then there’s spock #who is crying over him #the guy who didn’t cry over his mother #who in the face of his own death purged himself of emotions#here is that guy crying over Jim. #And he knows he can’t touch Jim #but he still put his hand up to the glass. #Because he couldn’t help it #And it’s good-bye#they’re saying good-bye #and it’s Jim trying to speak Spock’s language for just a second. #Just a second longer.
#YEAH IT’LL BE NICE IF YOU COULD STOP BREAKING MY HEART #because that shift in his fingers? #KILLS ME #because who knows if he knows about vulcan kisses when he’s doing that #but he just aligns his fingers to spock #because it’s his dying instinct #GOD HELP ME WITH THESE FEELS WHERE ARE ALL THE FICS DAMMIT
#Bones acts as if everything in the galaxy is Jim’s fault #the kid is seventeen Jim why the fuck is the kid 17 what did you do
Captain James Tiberius Kirk of the USS Enterprise

I’m scared, Spock.
#i wonder how he felt when he cleaned the dust from his face #and realized it was the last time he would ever touch his home planet
Looks like Satan has become a Trekkie.
I never thought I could love anyone but myself Now I know I can't love anyone but you.
