Really? Why is that funny? In a "how cute," way. Ringo had that whole Buck Owens thing.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I miss Bashir's Bond fantasies. "Kiss the girl, get the key. They never taught me that in the Obsidian Order."
edit: And the Trekkers creep out into the light.
Nothing beats the Kirk-Spock-McCoy triumvirate, though. Nothing.
Though Scotty's appearance on TNG came close. "I was always a wee bit conservative on paper."

Now tagless for your comfort.
You wish. I always loved that Patrick Stewart was obsessed with Reba McEntire.
God, do I ever. I can have red hair and sing country music, though.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'd give Picard my number, only I already know it would end tragically. The whole Roddenberry trope that true love is somehow antithetical to one's duty means that I'd either have to die tragically or turn out evil. Or hmm, I could just end up not being his true love. Okay, that'd work for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I got the impression that it was more true love was antithetical to series TV, and splitting couples is good, cheap drama.

Art Crawl!!!
For people who want to be spoiled for Project Runway -- I hear that NYMetro.com has the finalists and their lines in their Fashion Week Coverage.
I haven't looked because I don't want to be spoiled.

That's the main reason true love goes kablooey in most tv series, but with Roddenberry, it usually ended up in one of two ways, and there was always a crisis over duty thrown in to boot. (Okay, not ALWAYS--see Troi and Riker--but often enough to be noticable.)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
see Troi and Riker
There was def. a duty issue here for Riker. It's the reason the originally broke up (pre-TNG).

From my angle, duty was the excuse -- no more relationships ended than in your average show (perhaps fewer -- Keiko and O'Brien had their spats, but were nice and domestic and birthed two babies), just that there was no imagination used in the reasoning.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Really? Why is that funny? In a "how cute," way.
Just seems unlikely for an RSC actor to fall for a barrel-rider CMA star.
Ringo had that whole Buck Owens thing.
Hey, Buck's cool! He's even in the Catalog of Cool:
BUCK OWENS * Never one to pass up a trope ("I've Got the Hungries for Your Love and I'm Waitin' in Your Welfare Line"), the Hee Haw superstar responded to pop's acid-rock craze with "Who's Gonna Mow Your Grass" (1969).
