OMG ???

Behind the scenes of Star Trek Into Darkness, Karl Urban and Leonard Nimoy are chatting together, John Cho also standing with them. They’re smiling and laughing on the Enterprise set- it’s absolutely the sweetest thing.

A follow up of the last photo, Cho and Nimoy are both definitely laughing in this one.

And a third photo, Urban smiling at Nimoy, who’s smiling right back. <3

DR. LEONARD "BONES" MCCOY

Played by Deforest Kelley, Dr. McCoy is Senior Ship's Surgeon of the U.S.S. Enterprise, head of the Medical Department. As such he has medical responsibilities for the health and physical welfare of the crew of the Enterprise and broad medical science responsibilities in areas of space exploration.

As Senior Ship's Surgeon, "Bones" McCoy is the one man who can approach Captain Kirk on the most intimate personal levels relating to the Captain's physical, mental and emotional well being. Indeed, he has the absolute duty to constantly keen abreast of the Captain's condition and speak out openly to Kirk on this matter. McCoy is portrayed as something of a future-day H. I. Mencken, a very, very outspoken character, with more than a little cynical bite in his attitudes and observations on life. He has an acid wit which results in sometimes shocking statements -- statements which, under close scrutiny, carry more than a grain of truth about medicine, men, and society.

Of all the men aboard our starship, McCoy is the least military. He is filled with idiosyncracies which fit the character and are his trade-mark. For example, he loathes the Transporter System of "beaming" personnel from the ship to planet surfaces and loudly proclaims that he does not care to have his molecules scrambled and beamed around as if he were a radio message.

McCoy is highly practical in the old "general practitioner" sense, rates pills except when they are vitally needed, is not above believing that a little suffering is good for the soul and the maturity of the individual. He has a great fear that perfect medicine, psychotherapy and computers may rob mankind of his individuality and his divine right
to wrestle a bit with life. He's a superb physician and surgeon - often seems to be treating the wrong ailment -- but usually is proven right in the end.

Dr. McCoy is 45 years of age, was married once… something of a mystery that ended unhappily in a divorce. He has a daughter, "Joanna", who is 20 and in training as a nurse somewhere. McCoy has provided for her, hears from her as often as inter-galactic mail permits, but his duty aboard the starship keeps them apart. We will suspect that it was the bitterness of this marriage and divorce which turned McCoy to the Space Service. He was born in Georgia in the United States and can be something of the gallant Southern Gentle-an in social life, particularly with females. When the moment is right, a trace of his Southern accent will be heard.

There is something of a "feud" between Dr. "Bones" McCoy and Mister Spock. The Doctor, like most cynics, is at heart a bleeding humanist. Spock appears to regard McCoy as an archaic, bumbling country doctor, usually achieving cures through luck. On the other hand, McCoy Likes to regard Spock as little more than a sometimes useful piece of computer equipment. But, while disagreeing constantly, they do work well together when it becomes necessary and we're never but that there could be some affection hidden behind their constant battles.

meme of Karl Urban’s Bones with a speech bubble that reads ‘can you lock the fuck in’

bones thinker 🦴 @bonespostings.bsky.social · Jul 5

‘Stages of Liking bones mccoy.’ It’s a meme, with a chart running next to a photo of De Kelley’s Bones. the beginning of the graph just says ‘oh this guy is rly cool’ but the end of the graph is a bunch of absolutely feral doodles losing their minds over Bones.

A comic panel of Jim and McCoy, in their TWoK uniforms. They are standing over a cot with someone covered in a white sheet, Jim scratching his neck and McCoy with his arms crossed.
Dialogue:
Jim: What is, Bones? Did you find out what happened to him?
Bones: Yes. He died.
Jim: Besides that.

yes!!! I believe it’s the TOS comic ‘The Return!’ but it might be from the sequel, ‘The Sentence’

Happy TOSS Birthday to superfan Joan Winston. She was a member of "The Committee" and organized the first Trek convention. She also visited the set during the filming of the final episode. #TOSSatNight

Meme depicting two outlines of human bodies. One is labelled ‘Normal Person’ and is about 70% filled with blue colouring labelled ‘H2O.’ The other is labeled ‘Me’ and is about 98% filled with tan colouring labelled ‘inappropriate thoughts about Leonard McCoy’

Screencap from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, featuring an image of DeForest Kelley’s Dr. McCoy and Leonard Nimoy’s Mr. Spock on a video screen. The image on the video screen is from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and shows McCoy with his hand on Spock’s shoulder, the both of them wearing very serious expressions. McCoy is trying to convince Spock not to do anything stupid, but trust, he is gonna fail, and Spock is gonna die.

DeForest Kelley in his rose-tinted glasses and a denim shirt, with a chinchilla on his shoulder. He’s got a big smile on his face and it’s lovely.

Meme featuring the Kelvin Timeline triumvirate- at the top are photos of Zachary Quinto’s Spock, Chris Pine’s Kirk, and Karl Urban’s Bones. Underneath Spock is the word ‘Overthinks,’ with a doodle of a blue, stressed-looking figure. Underneath Kirk, it says ‘Doesn’t think,’ with a doodle of a little purple guy making this :3 face. Underneath Bones, there is a green doodle of a guy giving the other two doodles a worried look, with the caption ‘Genuinely concerned for both of them.’
