OMG THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!
HOW DID I MISS THIS????
My inner child demands 1000x moar of this
The Captain and Mr. Spock
The Captain
found this in an old folder lmao
personally I think the new aos movie should have a scene where everyone is walking thru the once again newly retrofitted enterprise and they go into some cargo bay or w/e and someone is like “wow this thing is huge … I bet you could fit a whale in here” and Scotty who was leading the tour is like “why the hell would you need to do that” and just keeps tour guiding
Kyle Riker literally is the worst father of them all like he basically had his wife raise his son for two years like a 50s housewife
Then he mentally abused and probably smacked Will around often enough
Then just dropped him because Will was starting to be better than him
Like the nerve
100%! As a kid of childhood emotional neglect, I lose my SHIT every time Icarus Factor comes on and the whole message is like “well you both didn’t give each other a real shot, hyuk”
Um no, one was a child forced to emotionally raise himself to survive and the other was his neglectful, abusive father who TO THIS DAY thinks his son is being dramatic and emotional for not wanting anything to do with his abuser
Love me some TNG, but this episode makes the blood boil
Also, if you think too long about the title it’s even WORSE. Will did not “fly too close to the sun”. His father was not reasonably worried about him. He was given two paths and he chose the one he felt would be best for his life. That’s just an adult making adult decisions. Not fecking teenage Icarus burning up for flying his stupid wax wings too close to the sun, ffs.
Anyway you’re right and Kyle Riker sucks ass
love that whole scene with the tribbles falling down on kirk and the implication that for however long it took for him to be buried, no one did anything to help or get him out. they just let the tribbles fall until he was neck deep in fur. spock stood there for ten minutes watching it happen while kirk wishes he was literally anywhere else
