Space Seed Joachim and Wrath of Khan Joachim. From 60’s thug to 80’s jazzercise.
Correction: the guy in “Space Seed” was named Joachin (pronounced by Khan in the episode as “Wah-KEEN”). The guy in “Wrath of Khan” was named Joachim (pronounced by Khan just before the younger man dies as “YO-ah-kim”).
In non-canon sources, Joachim is Joachin’s son.

I didn’t know that. Good info!
Star Trek TOS-1.22 Space Seed
Improve a mechanical device and you may double productivity. But improve a man and you gain a thousand fold. I am such a man…
i like his visual style and his pacing because old trek sometimes meandered a bit too much but every time i watch or read a new jj abrams interview i get the feeling that he thinks he’s, like, elevating the franchise even though he’s just cherrypicking the bits of trek he finds acceptable, which for the most part are just the General Space and Sci-fi bits
it’s like… imagine somebody handing him an old family recipe for chocolate chip cookies and going, “hey, jj abrams, can you update this a bit, it’s not bad but it’s kind of getting old and there are so many ingredients you can use nowadays, here i have this big cupboard full of baking stuff that you can use, i trust you” but instead of making chocolate chip cookies he just makes chocolate milkshakes and a fucking pizza because hey, you had flour and milk and things in your kitchen, right
that’s nice jj and i’m sure the pizza is very good but maybe i just had pizza maybe we wanteD the Cookies today
Yes! Good analogy.
so you guys wanna talk about
Spock’s Brain
We try very hard not to talk about Spock’s Brain.
“Brain and brain! What is brain?” I love that episode.
