And there was me thinking he was introduced just to cause hormonal responses in a part of the audience....
Oh dear.
Not only is Harry Kim a spiritual successor to Chekov, but so is Seven of Nine.

With the Difference that Seven's acting is a lot better.
I don't know...I really feel that when Pavel says he vill not interfere, or is discussing comparative xenobiology vis a vis reproductive potential in a multi species environment, that it is really felt...you know?
I always preferred Torres vunderful muscles to sevens though. I don't know why she would ever be jealous of Seven...maybe it was just territorialness over the warp core.
Man..that's enough imagery for six books worth of gender symbology based media studies articles. Or two dodgy fanfics and one Braga script, at the stablished conversion rate.
Maybe it's B'elanna's ridges that are a bit of a turn off.
I usually don't like my girlfriends to have tortoiseshell foreheads...
She has two vaginas.
Beverly told me that Klingons have two of everything in TNG Ethics.

I prefer standard belanna, aesthetically speaking, to human b'ellana...I feel the ridges and height added a grace to the overall balance of features. That purely aesthetically and speaking from a visual perspective. I think the same is true of later Worf makeup...it is more balanced and has more gravitas than plain Michael Dorn or early Worf. Characterwise, Bells is also more interesting than seven to my personal choice of who I would have fun hanging around with, and I can totally see why Tom would fall for her in a way I just never bought with the Kes triangle.
It is also possible that my exposure to scifi from a young age influenced my taste in prospective partners, and from my perspective, brunette is exotic and exotic is good. Human attraction tendencies are an amusing thing.
I hear that's a thing in the real world *shrug* IDIC
It's not something you hear, it's something you smell.
For people with bad hygiene maybe...
Was People Magazine even around during TOS? It was their list.
I was making a joke.
I know. It just made me wonder.
That's probably the least appealing shower scene ever seen on tv.
Women go on and on and on about washboard abs.
So why am I a weirdo to be into a washboard forehead?
(Roxann without (Klingon) makeup looks super-weird, it's almost like she's had a really bad facelift, and that goes double for Dorny.)

Dorn kinda looks like a baseball player.
You're just so used to seeing her with the head, same as me. It's like seeing picture of Levar Burton and finding it weird, or thinking 'man his eyes are so intensely wierd' then remembering that for many many years, you only saw him with the visor. In my case, and probably yours, literally the first time we saw these actors, it was as these characters after all.
That gets magnified if we find the characters attractive. Another example... Melora in Ds9 is more attractive than Grace Holloway in Doctor Who, from my perspective. It's because I would have found the angry scientist attractive in Ds9, and the character in Who not so much...also I did not even equate the two at first, because guest cast drifts by quite often. Yet this is the same person playing both roles.
Maybe this should also be seen as a positive in sci-fi fans...it shows that more often than not, even hormone addled teenagers may find a character attractive without that being purely defined by physical appearance. I am sure there's some theory out there talking about male gaze or exoticisation or something, but given there are many voyager fans mooning over chakotay or the J7 pairing, and this whole thread started because someone is rewriting two male characters sexuality because they possibly find them attractive (not to mention, in this world worried about toxic masculinity, isn't it a bit odd to pair off two male characters as homosexual simply because of a close friendship? See Julian and Miles for that too. It's something you don't see so often with female best buddies either. Well...outside of Deanna and Beverly fanfics I suppose.) I think most of that does not apply in this instance.
Bells was always hawt.
The entire cast of Ds9 and ToS look like baseball players. But then....I haven't actually seen any baseball outside of Ds9 and those set photos from TMP
I actually saw a 'trope' named after B'Elanna and I can't find it now. It had to do with believing an actor to be more attractive as an alien than he or she was in real life. It was something I found by accident, didn't bookmark it.
