“I think he finds that human inspiration and permission, firstly Captain Pike, then in season two of Discovery in Michael Burnham. And now, in sort of a different angle, a romantic one, right, with Nurse Chapel, played by Jess. I think Jess brings this sort of sparkling and electric impulsiveness to Nurse Chapel, that makes her so fun and wonderful to watch. I think makes Spock so curious and fascinated, forgive me for using that word.”

you know, i started watching snw being like ‘hey i don’t really care about them as a romantic pair’ but uh, yeah, what ethan is describing here, spock reacting to chapel, being fascinated (dork) by her, is something i really enjoy. 

it really gives them a sweetness and an electricity which did not exist in the original series. perhaps, we are talking about wrong place, wrong time. the two of them younger, more impulsive and inquisitive, seem to be a better fit for each other than when we see them older and more mature.

i’m not sure how anything about chapel’s future life is going to tie in with what we are currently seeing with snw, it seems they are keeping us at bay for now, but if they decide to explore it more, i would not be mad, not be mad at all.

“It absolutely can be,” Captain Pike agreed, leaning back in his chair. 
“I remember my first year at the Academy; there was so much to take in so quickly.  There are a lot of unspoken…well, I don’t want to call them ‘rules’; maybe ‘tips’ is the better word.  You had to learn not only what to say, but how to say it, and when, and to who, and you damn sure had to know why.”
He smiled gently as he met Chapel’s eyes.  “You may be an outsider looking in, but you’re doing a hell of a job.  I hear nothing but amazing things about you from so many of the crew.  Don’t second-guess yourself, and don’t let anyone intimidate you.”
@nursc

oh, i know i’m good, sir. that you don’t need to tell me. confident words are softened by the gratitude reflected by the gratitude shining in her eyes. it is comforting to know she is doing good enough that it has reached the captain’s ears; it is one thing for m’benga to praise her due to her technical expertise. out here among the stars, it is not enough to be good, you need to be ready for anything the world throws at you. thank you. so uh, the academy, not just partying and amazing sunsets over the golden date bridge. any tips you’d like to share? cause i’m planning on — i’m planning on staying. so good isn’t good enough.

“Like I just was run over and given some painkillers.” Which happens to be a fairly accurate description of his current situation.
The stampede had caught the landing party off-guard, particularly the young cadet accompanying them — a promising young person and brilliant xenobotanist working on a revolutionary thesis. Not too athletically inclined, nor a big fan of field research, and probably even more averse to it after the incident and having their life saved by their Captain. They’ve apologized more times than he can count while he was having his legs fixed (broken bones are never fun), until they were asked to leave.
“How long do I—?” Kirk speaks, before he realizes he’s doing it again.

so a five out of ten? christine tuts at his next question, knowing it was coming for a mile away. for a man who spends so much time with her and bones, he forgets how unwilling they are to let him go just yet.

it was a fairly cut and dry injury; no spores or alien-induced abrasions to keep him here overnight as their own personal test subject, she just wanted some of the effects of the painkillers to pass before sending him on his merry way. with the strong dose she gave him, she wouldn’t put it past him to wander down the wrong corridor and not notice when he fell into a jeffries tube. come on, we’ll make it fun. fun... funnish, what do you do for fun, sir?

“My money’s on the turbolift or the planet overnight. These things happen far too often.” Ortegas smiled a bit, leaning back against one of the biobeds. She’d been here a while, she know what Enterprise and it’s standard missions were like. Standard, nothing about anything on the ship or what happened to it could be considered standard. “You’ll be fine. Spock or Una will fix it by lunch. That’s usually how it goes.”

there is a crinkle to her nose, a question hanging there, curiosity begging for it to be revealed but she hates asking questions without knowing the answer; it is silly, and she is almost one hundred percent sure the rumor is wrong, but on the off chance it is right ( which again, it can’t be ) she feels the urge to burst it out and put it into the world. una and spock, terrifying duo. gorgeous, think they are the one behind the rumor that there is a blanket in a secret department in the turbolift? after living a lifetime with this fear of being wrong, you get good at hiding the questions you really want to ask. kind of hoping for an alien planet though. better story, dont you think?

no, no, it’s nothing, i swear... except, ortegas had tried to explain it to her, and so had kyle, the two of them coming from different angles: starfleet graduate and enlisted officer, and yet both could not explain this particular aspect of the ship’s culture to her; being part of starfleet was like learning a whole new language, and sometimes, no matter how good you think you’ve gotten, you will eventually struck out, find a word or a saying which is completely foreign to you. starfleet is just... a lot, uh,  sir

careful there, ” resting a hand on his shoulder to help and steady him, she gives him a quick glance over, making sure everything was where it was supposed to be. now i get why you end up on my table so often, what’s the rush? take a breather, and you know, try not to hit anyone while walking, that’s my thing. ”

una finds it incredibly difficult not to roll her eyes,   brow lifted as the half-assed excuse is offered.  as excuses go she’s heard worse,  but that doesn’t dull the annoyance it prompts,  the annoyance that almost feels like her skin’s prickling.   “i dunno,  chapel,  what do you think?”   the question’s rhetorical,  cut with a sigh as una crosses her arms.   “look,  a practical joke now and then’s not a bad thing.  blowing off steam’s important,  i get it.  i’m not a total hard-ass,”   contrary to popular belief,  apparently.   “the harmless stuff?  i don’t really mind,  but convincing junior officers that chief kyle’s even a little bit threatening is pushing things a little too far,  don’t you think? 

i didn’t mean for things to blow out of proportion, it’s not my fault they are so green they’ll believe anything! kyle is my friend, cross my heart. we were drinking one night, and he can hold his liquor and is... kind of amazing at drinking games, he can get you to confess to anything. it’s scary. i was telling ortegas about that, some ensigns overheard and... when they asked me questions, i joked. i didn’t think, come on, flaring her hands in front of her face, she shoots una an incredulous look, they believed kyle is mean?? like, yeah, maybe i shouldn’t have embellished the story so much, but... come on! kyle? kyle?

don’t be self conscious, it was only a little snore, the desolate planet made for a dangerous make-shift encampment, but with the transporters not working, and the stranger’s internal organs being so... unique, it was their only option. just, kind of cute, you know? like a little snort. ”
