emmagrant01I was following some links and found this awesome piece of meta on the ways the AOS is different from TOS. I don't know TOS canon very well, and reading this really helped me see the difference, so I recommend it highly.
Here is a sample of what she says about Kirk and Spock:
In TOS, Spock was a restraining and cooling influence on the much more emotional Kirk. Their relationship was adversarial but not personally so; I find it unbelievably awesome that this is going to be the opposite. [...] This is two people who can compare and contrast their juvenile arrest records. This is two people who already have a habit of fighting personally and escalate each other to violence. Their intial reactions to being challenged by each other is already set in the habit of going for the throat first.
It's like they were looking all their lives for the one person they can't break, and lookie here, there you go. Jim Kirk, who doesn't know how to lose, and Spock, who burns down the village and salts the earth when he goes to war.
They are going to have some epic fights, and some epic angry sex.
Okay, that's piquing my interest in K/S again... XD
