Spock : *blatantly showing concern while holding on to Bones*
Bones : *processing*
Spock : *still showing that he cares*
Bones : Well, we better get to the control room...

I love this scene because you could clearly see Bones trying to process the fact that Spock is somehow showing some form of emotion and it's directed towards him. His response would have been one of the following:

a) Pointing it out - "Concern Mr. Spock, isn't that an emotion?" His go-to response to Spock

b) Reassurance - "I'm alright. There's no need to worry about me." His would-be response to anyone else

c) Dismissal - "It's nothing. I'm still quite capable of carrying on." His likely response to a superior officer

He goes with none of those and just diverts to their main concern for the moment (the opposite of what he usually does). It's like skipping a cutscene because you weren't prepared for the quick time event. 😅

People get really confused when I mention having a teenager, because I'm still under 30. It doesn't occur to people that adoption is a thing, or that adoption doesn't automatically mean adopting an infant. I wanted a kid, I found a kid who actually got to, like, consent to having me as a parent. It was dope.

But since people get confused, I've just started calling my kid my "foundling" and cultivating some weird fae energy. I got my kid in a pact for someone's firstborn, don't worry about it.

Spock: Why does the evil Romulan want to kill me?

Prime Spock: That’s not important right now. All you need to know is how to fix it.

Spock: Alright. How do I fix it?

Prime Spock: You need to date the most annoying cadet on your course.

Spock: How will that… Fix anything…? And why would I date Doctor McCoy?

Prime Spock: Because, James Ki- what? Leonard went to the academy in this timeline? OK, that’s on me, I didn’t do my research.
