• it passes the Bechdel test and has lots of great female characters
• (the gender ratio might be close to equal now that I think about it)
• like a sweet, proud, tough sex worker who takes a lover outside her job and no one cares
• and her sister, a mayor running a semi-frontier mining town
• and an alien girl who might be a Grand Mystic Hero and is ruthless, reserved, loyal, and vulnerable
• and an alien woman who weaves nefarious schemes while looking and acting angelic
• and another minor but brilliant alien woman who runs a medical clinic with the sheer force of her dry, exasperated sarcasm
• also there’s a lot of diversity
• I’m not just talking aliens either
• and nobody makes a big deal about sexual anything
• I mean, they even discussed polyamory like it was a normal variation in romantic relationships
• two dudes and one lady, no less
• and the worldbuilding is pretty decent and getting better over time
• the plots aren’t blowing me away yet, but it’s been an entertaining way to spend an hour every week
• and barring some fanservice it’s been really damn progressive
• yep

So my casual ship on my casual sci-fi show became canon earlier this week and…

is this what happiness feels like???

The Nephillim is the product of love, angel and human love but love nonetheless.

Cupid’s bow? Well, that is a bit obvious don’t you think? It is the creation of love. It makes love and spreads love. 

I think you know where I am going with this. Cas’ grace, being Cas’ essence and whatnot, is in love and could very much be just love itself; Samandriel did say that he thought Cas had too much “heart”.

Love is what made the angels fall.

Casually pointing out that Metatron said that Cas was the only one that could complete the trials.

Hmmmm.

I think a good 4th season of TOS joke would’ve been a scene where Chekov, Riley, and a bunch of other not-Triumvirate people were hanging out in the crew lounge discussing the Plot and there’s a relevant mention of satellites so of course Chekov goes, “Ah, yis, satellites, another fine Russian inwention” and Riley finally snaps.

“Chekov, I have had it up to HERE with you and the damn Russians! You didn’t invent scotch, the invisible fence, OR SATELLITES. STOP IT.”

And Uhura or Sulu is like, “… … …Kevin, Sputnik.”

Then Chekov spikes his tricorder because he has been setting up for this moment for the past four years and someone finally fell for it and everyone laughs at Riley for like four hours

I approve of any situation where Chekov wins and Riley winds up looking like a putz.

I would KILL for a ‘Lower Decks’ episode of TOS omfg
