Now we need a scene in SNW where Ortegas decides to play a joke on Spock by calling them marsh melons and giving everyone else (in picturing Chapel, Uhura, M’Benga, and Sam Kirk) a “shut up and make him believe it” look.
I mean… it’d work. There’s a lot of loving references to future situations in DSC Season 2 and SNW. Also a lot of tiny references and in-jokes. It really would fit incredibly well. That’s also way more heartfelt than my buddies initial headcanon which was Boimler accidentally saying ‘marshmelons’ while nerding out in front of Spock.
If Boimler said it, Spock would probably go and ask one of his friends to have him try one of those “marsh melons” and would probably be corrected. It just seems like a very in-character thing for Ortegas to do!
Exactly! We’ve already got Ortegas set up to be a prankster. I love your idea and I really hope it happens.
Basically. This comic has always hit kinda harder than it has any right to.
This comic is the reason I haven’t binged Regular Show from start to finish. I don’t want it to finish.
Don’t binge it, but do watch it through to the end. Those characters deserve to have their ending.
Oh fuck dude now I’m crying.
I literally only started that show because my son loved it. Now my wife and I reference it constantly with him.
Jolly good show.
Truly eggscellent
Haaaaaaaaammmmmbbbooooooooonnnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnggggg!
Is this canon?
Partially. The first paragraph is. In Star Trek 5: The Final Frontier, Spock calls them ‘marshmelons’ and Kirk/Bones don’t correct Spock. The part about him on New Vulcan realizing it is hypothetical. For a giggle.
That’s canon enough for me. Thanks.
Same here to be honest. It’s a nice piece of headcanon that I feel fits his character. Especially the warmer and older Ambassador Spock we see in the Kelvin movies.
Fuck I think I gotta rewatch those movies now…
Holy shit. I’ve seen that movie a dozen times over my life and never caught he said it wrong lol.
i interprete the typo as spock still getting it wrong
You mean the Marshmelons bit? Spock did get it wrong. Star Trek 5: The Final Frontier. He calls them Marshmelons. The scene in question.
no i mean marshmallows
OH. Sorry I’m an idiot.
no spock you’re cute
Aww shucks you
But he must have gotten the joke at least by the time he melded with Bones to transfer his katra. And he never mentioned it after, probably because he realized how much they liked it
I assumed Marsh Melons were just another type of marsh mellow like maybe a Vulcan variant or something.
