So can we just talk about this episode of TAS where Kirk and Spock get turned into water-breathers (because of course they do and there were absolutely no drugs involved in the writing of this script)

Bones drags them up to Sickbay because these idiots and puts them in a tank, and Kirk is like:

image

waaaahhhh I’m going to have to live in a tank forever weh fix it

and then Bones is like, look, think about this logically, but Spock is no help:

image

we gotta go to back to the danger zone immediately because waaaahhh I don’t want to have to live in a tank forever

so Bones finally figure out how to fix it with the help of the Aquans, because why the hell not, and to celebrate they invite their leaders to visit the Enterprise, which, you know, would be a terribly boring tour because they’re going to have to spend the entire time in a tank in Sickbay, right?

nah

they’ve got these aqualungs

which Kirk and Spock JUST used to go back down to the planet

which they could have been wearing the whole damn time

instead it was “into the tank with you and we have to live here forever” like the ridiculous drama queens they are
