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

    Well, that's how you interpret it. Other folks interpret it as Captain Kirk literally not being allowed to have romantic relations with his Yeoman. Doesn't matter if it doesn't make it to the finished episode. And in the finished episode Kirk doesn't do anything inappropriate with Prime...

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

    "Obvious" is a matter of interpretation. We see him walk up to her and start to chat with her. We have absolutely no idea what Kirk said to Marlena as the closing credits started to roll, especially since Marlena was never seen again in canon. So ogling someone automatically means he slept with...

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

    Yeah, I've seen it with pretty much any ongoing fiction that depicts close platonic friendships. Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson and Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes are two other examples. There's always the implication of "Well, they're so close, there simply must be more to it." Yep. Which is...

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

    They're best friends, and that's it. I get the need to see yourself reflected in fictional characters, but no, I don't see any evidence that Kirk and Spock are gay or bi or that either one has romantic feelings for the other. My best friend died about five years back, and we knew each other...

    Defining Moment For Each Captain

    This is a great choice for Sisko. Avery Brooks was really great in that scene. It had to be tough to maintain the emotional through line in all those different setups. I guess I'm in the minority for not liking Kirk's "Risk is our business" speech all that much. I think Shatner overplays it...

    Defining Moment For Each Captain

    With Kirk, it's a particular line of dialogue in "The Corbomite Maneuver": "I'll keep that in mind, Mister Bailey, when this becomes a democracy." It immediately establishes that Kirk is the guy in charge, and the buck stops with him. His creative solution to Balok's threats at the end of the...

    What is your personal head canon?

    This reminds me of one of my favorite jokes from Community: Britta: "I can excuse racism, but I draw the line at animal cruelty." Shirley: "...You can excuse racism?"

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    I think a lot of that is due to Nicholas Meyer's direction. Shatner gives his best performances in TWOK and TUC, in my opinion.

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    Yeah, same. Kirk and Khan both say it's been 15 years since Kirk exiled Khan to Ceti Alpha V. So yeah, it's been 15 years. And you know that Khan is so obsessive that he's timed it down to the second. The Okudas saying it had actually been 18 years was one of the biggest things I disagreed with...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    I suspect that had a lot more to do with not wanting to edit down Jerry Goldsmith's score than Wise changing his mind about the drydock scene being too long.

    Will We Ever See a Trek Crossover...

    If you ever have the urge to read a Star Trek/Alien crossover, the Chris Claremont/Adam Hughes graphic novel Debt of Honor is right there.

    Changed Opinion Of A Character...

    As I recall, Ron Moore and Brannon Braga considered going with Aquiel from the episode of the same name, but since that episode didn't turn out very well, they decided to go with Leah Brahms instead.

    Different/Alternate Casting for Picard

    I'd hate that. Not for any affect it would've had on TNG, but because it likely would've affected Kotto playing Giardello on Homicide: Life on the Street.

    Changed Opinion Of A Character...

    Maybe someday her ability to love won't be so limited. ;)

    Shared universe with other franchises

    Yes, but as the X-Files episode "Unusual Suspects" aired in 1997, Munch was still a regular on Homicide: Life on the Street, since Law & Order: Special Victims Unit wasn't a thing yet. And yes, Munch mentions The X-Files in the 3rd season HLOTS episode "Partners" (airdate Jan. 20, 1995) when...

    Changed Opinion Of A Character...

    I used to tolerate the TOS version of Chapel, but I can't stand her now. Every scene she has is just her mooning over Mr. Spock to no avail, a plot that never develops in the slightest. It's boring, repetitive, and a waste of time, and I now know that those scenes were only in the show to give...

    Tomorrow is Yesterday: Captain Christopher's Son

    The radio broadcast that Uhura picks up states: "The first manned Moon shot is scheduled for Wednesday, 6 A.M., Eastern Standard Time." It is also mentioned that the mission is manned by three astronauts. The Apollo 11 mission, manned by Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin, was...

    The Real Trouble with Tribbles

    The argument of the Seuss estate was essentially that the style of artwork and the verse pattern of Seuss' prose were copyrightable in and of themselves, which... No. That's like arguing that only e e cummings can write poetry using only lower case.

    Your Ideas: Star Trek III but no Leonard Nimoy

    I found it fun, though I haven't seen it in years. And yes, she was. :luvlove:
