but omg spock’s reactions. first when kirk seems to be letting it go, he nods as if pleased that kirk gets the craziness of his suggestion, but he also looks a little upset with himself, like he’s disappointed in himself that he can’t do something amazing for kirk. but then kirk is a little shit and spock just snaps his head up and it’s on. that is the face of a vulcan who is going to attempt to build a computer out of random scrap because a. kirk needs it, b. kirk thinks he can’t do something, and c. he’s competitive as fuck and the gorn canon isn’t going to one-up him any time soon.
