Everybody give it up for columnar jointing

Woo! Yeah! Woohoo! Yippee! Hell yeah! Woo!

Shoutout to the captain's and crew quarters in the classic Star Trek movies' U.S.S. Enterprise for not having an actual bed, but a weird oversized leather sofa/bed hybrid thing instead. Extra points for it having a bunch of storage space directly above it so using it as a sofa would be problematic.

Happy Birthday Louise Stange-Wahl! President of the Leonard Nimoy fan club becomes crewmember in Star Trek: The Motion Picture

Hello Jim

A kinda (?) re-design of spock's revenge robe from the motion picture.

+ 1 live jim reaction.

(please no reposts! reblogs are appreciated <3 thank you!)

You can tell how much Jim missed his best friends after almost 3 years without them and the Enterprise, because when they come back and they start talking about science and stuff, Jim just looks at them with the happiest expression on his face. <3 <3 <3

It looks like he's thinking "OMG I love them, I missed them so much", and even if I wasn't there, I think it had to be great for the fans who watched TMP for the first time in 1979, because this isn't just Jim's reaction to Bones and Spock, it was every fan's reaction after seeing the main characters on-screen after 10 years.

Another interesting detail is that Jim is probably trying to be more professional with Spock because he's on the bridge: Decker and other new crewmembers are there and we know that Jim acts differently when he's in his captain-mode. But when he meets Bones, there are just Rand and Scotty around, who are both old friends, so he can be more like himself (that's how I see it, at least).

Anyway, this is not the face of someone who thinking about "engine design difficulties" :D
