YMMV / Star Trek S3 E12 "The Empath"

Go To

  • Ho Yay: Kirk, Spock, and Bones are taken captive by aliens, along with Gem, a woman from a species with empathetic abilities. At one point, Kirk is lying down, and Spock sits next to him. Gem was walking away, but something about Spock's action makes her stop in her tracks. She looks at them curiously. Spock is too busy watching over Kirk as he sleeps to notice her at first. When he catches her watching him watch Kirk, he becomes flustered, looks away, and fiddles with his tricorder. Intrigued, Gem goes over to Spock and touches his shoulder to feel his feelings. At first she looks confused—but then she realizes something, and smiles--softly, knowingly. See for yourself. Note the music playing during the scene.
