Hey, I've read Spock/Kirk mashups that are far better written than anything Star Trek itself delivered in the area of romance.John Funk said:It pretty much DID start there, with Spock/Kirk.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. To each their own.
What I don't get is, why do they never mention the fact that they've met ALIENS and discovered hundreds of other planets, none of which share the same religion they do? One would think you would re-think your spiritual life after finding out there's life on other planets that's just as, if not more, intelligent than you (and that's without even getting into the Qs).vic_elor said:I believe there was even at least one episode where they compared spock's appearance to that of the devil.

Right, and most of them aren't... well let's just say My first and last venture into "Fiction" made me sick.John Funk said:Considering that female Star Trek fans are often credited with popularizing the idea of 'slash' fiction, you'd be surprised.danpascooch said:Well if we know one thing about Star Trek, it's that it's just SWIMMING in female fans.
The funniest thing is that most of Spock's personal storylines were about him dealing with his emotions. I remember a particularly funny scene where he thought Kirk was dead and Jim sauntered out from the medbay. Spock shouted "Jim!" and threw his arms around him, only to realise what he'd done and stepped back into the Vulcan persona again.Sir Kemper said:Becuase who can't resist an emotionless alien?
I second this! Spock never did much for me, and Kirk is just ewwww.... McCoy seems like the type who could make a girl happy.Phantomess said:Well, not me. I'm more into McCoy, meself.
Having met Karl Urban earlier this year and being a long-time fan of DeForest Kelley's McCoy, he certainly could/does make ME happy! Who couldn't love a grumpy southern doctor (rhetorical question there, guys)?BirdBot said:I second this! Spock never did much for me, and Kirk is just ewwww....

Just goes to show - no matter how hard writers/developers/creators try to make something appealing, a bunch of us will come along and like some other unexpected bit anyway.
