Okay so I spend a lot of time making fun of Bones for his (lack of) bedside manner, but credit where it’s due: the man knows what people need.
After Spock loses his vision, Kirk’s (understandable) instinct is to help him with everything. The episode never acknowledges it verbally, but Bones keeps holding Kirk back, because he knows Spock well enough to know that being led around and coddled would only upset him more.
Way to go, Bones. Keep pretending to be mean; your secret’s safe with us.
Reason #1701 why DeForest Kelley was a beautiful human being: whenever he received a letter from a fan who’d decided to become a doctor after watching Bones on Star Trek, he would send back a photo signed “to the Real McCoy, from the Reel McCoy."
#1702 is that he had a turtle named Myrtle.
No more, McCoy. There will be no more loneliness for you.
kira! (who i’ll one day draw giving dukat a nice, good punch in the face (^ヮ^)b)
and also mccoy to prevent white space hehe
… now i want them to interact
(actually despite that this desire is mostly brought on by my copy and pasting a mccoy headshot into some doodles of kira, i do think they’d get along quite well? really! )
Great McCoy! Nobody gets him right!
