    What do you think about people "Shipping" Kirk and Spock?

    It is indeed - a bloody obvious joke. :)

    Totally Looks Like

    I just went through a ridiculous amount of steps to see this page of "Totally Looks Like" when I Googled to see if Jerry Orbach was related to Victure Mature. And at 6:20 am no less. Insomnia is no joke.

    We'll be switching shoes in '77. Overall, I consider TSWLM to be the best Bond film. Something he noteworthily is pretty much never seen doing. I think in the books he was known to engage in subtle disguise techniques like oral prosthetics to change the shape of his face. Qnion rules. That...

    What do you think about people "Shipping" Kirk and Spock?

    I grew up with the show and first saw it just a few years after the episode was made. It's not a "bloody obvious" joke. It can absolutely be taken more than one way. My sister and I discussed it when we were younger and she still shakes her head at it because of how she interprets the line. You...

    Mission: Impossible - Final Reckoning (2025)

    My recollection is that in at least the first four movies, he alternated between short and long hair. Incidentally,

    What do you think about people "Shipping" Kirk and Spock?

    Oh, please, it's a joke about whose going to wear the pants in the family after they're married (to use a contemporary colloquialism from the same era as the joke was written.) Really, fans will squabble over anything here.

    ...:rommie: Hasn't he shown expertise in disguise before? Maybe not, because I can't think of any examples. But you can buy fake nipples in a joke shop. So I hear. I don't remember any of those movies clearly enough to have an opinion, but I do remember the female M calling Bond a...

    The Delta Flyers now covering DS9

    ...it with tongue-in-cheek (ever!) and is assured that everyone else is stupid/made a mistake and only he is smart enough to realize it. Sure, he "jokes" about his nitpicks, but the jokes are always directed at the perceived error in the episode, not at himself. He will occasionally make...

    What do you think about people "Shipping" Kirk and Spock?

    Well, to quote "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", the man is the head of the house, but the woman is the neck. And she can turn the head any way she wants. ;)

    What do you think about people "Shipping" Kirk and Spock?

    Unless the original writer wants to chime in, it is all open to interpretation. Being born in 1971, I can really only interpret the line through the world I grew up in.

    What do you think about people "Shipping" Kirk and Spock?

    I see people still trying to judge a 1966 line of dialog by 2025 standards. In 1966, "temporarily at least, I am still your superior officer" was a joke about wives casting off the submissive, demure guise used to "catch" their man, and becoming "the boss" of the house once they were married.

    They wasted Jonathan Majors. And for a proper callback they should have hired Sharon Stone to be Janet Van Dyne.

    Spoilers The Last of Us Season 2 - Spoilers

    It was meant to be a joke. I know their will be a season 3.

    United Federation of Planets, the first 250 years

    When the Federation goes to war, it's Starfleet that fights the war. Starfleet's ships carry heavy weapons. Torpedoes have antimatter warheads, weapons of mass destruction. Sisko was able to poison an entire planet with what he had onboard. The idea that Starfleet isn't a military is a joke.

    What do you think about people "Shipping" Kirk and Spock?

    Maybe. Maybe not. "Who Mourns for Adonias?" also touches on the results of marriage and female officers. MCCOY: And he thinks he's the right man for her, but I'm not sure she thinks he's the right man. On the other hand, she's a woman. All woman. One day she'll find the right man and off she'll...

    It's refreshing to see so many people not terribly fond of that movie. It took Kang AND Michael Douglas and found a way to waste them both.

    I think the continued Baskins Robbins joke was the only good thing in that movie.

    Peter David Runs Out of Insurance, Loses Medicaid

    ...his sense of humor, I'm not sure it's possible to get through any of his Trek novels without laughing or at least smiling at at least one of his jokes. But despite this, his work could also be extremely poignant when it had to. He was a real versatile writer that way. And while there were...
