Reasons Why McKirk: Proximity

Reasons Why McKirk: Face Appreciation Post

Reasons Why McKirk: Bones’ face. He is so disappointed for Jim. He wanted them to do this together. He needs his best friend by his side. But more than that, this is his best friend’s dream that has been ripped away. You can see it on his face- he knows he can’t fix this, and he knows he has to walk away and leave Jim, but more than anything he wants to make this right.

Reasons Why McKirk: Broments- The Kobiashi Maru. They’re totally on opposite sides of the issue, but there’s no way Bones isn’t going to be proud of Jim when he’s the first to ever beat the test (even though he probably cheated).

Reasons Why McKirk: They genuinely care about each other. They show their feelings in their body language. James T. Kirk wouldn’t show disappointment in front of anyone else. Leonard McCoy wouldn’t stick around for anyone else. It’s a difficult moment but they get through it together.

Reasons Why McKirk: I love and hate this scene. Ok I just hate this scene because it gives me feels and then destroys them. The first few times I saw the movie I didn’t even hear Bones say “Jim, he’s the captain”. Jim did. You can see it on his face. He’s still talking to Spock but he looks at Bones. By the time the guards get there, he’s not even focused on Spock anymore. The feeling of betrayal outweighs his attempt at being heard. And Bones’ face as he’s taken away (GOD, KARL). He was only trying to help, but he knows what it looks like. Jim’s being taken away and there’s nothing he can do to stop it. He knows Jim was right, he knows Spock had the final word no matter what, and yet in the moment he made a split decision that made it seem as though he was siding with Spock over Jim.
