The other night when I was all delerious with the fever and stuff, I saw an episode of Star Trek I don't recall seeing before.
Aliens had adopted human form, taken over the Enterprise, and turned most of the crew into elemental cube thingys.
Kirk, Spock, Scotty, and McCoy decided to get the aliens in touch with their newly acquired humanity. Scotty got an alien drunk, McCoy drugged one, and Spock and Kirk worked together on this seduce/generate jealousy program with two of the others.
Naturally thanks to the above, a goofy fist-fight and a little speech from Kirk it all worked out fine in the end. Since I was half delerious, the sets and effects seemed perfectly reasonable. And there was even suspense -- TWO redshirts were taken down to the planet and who KNOWS? Which one dies? Do they both? Marvelous.
I realized something though... does Captain Kirk ever seal the deal, or does he just make out with a succession of hot aliens? I don't think he ever actually has sex, does he? I don't recall ever seeing him leaving someone's quarters first thing in the morning. His conquests seem to be limited pretty much to fevered smooching ended abruptly by someone walking in.
Well, Trudy, the show's from the '60s when they had to be fairly careful about showing anything sexual (remember married couples in their twin beds?). And besides, we all know Kirk's OTP is Spock.
His OTP is TOTALLY Spock. I'm more convinced than ever. I can't recall even the POSSIBILITY of Kirk having actually laid a hot alien (besides, of course, Spock).
Maybe Kirk is suffering from deep homophobic denial "I'm not really into a GUY, I just dig aliens. See? I'll make out with six more of them. Besides, Spock isn't even human. Do
he
and
she
really apply to Vulcans? Or are we just using them for rhetorical convenience?"
Have you, by any chance?
Not that I know of. Although I did see a suspicious "TV Repair" truck parked out in front this morning, with a giraffe wearing sunglasses and a fedora behind the wheel....
Besides, Spock isn't even human.
Technically, he's half-human. In other words, a mutt, like Obama....
does Captain Kirk ever seal the deal
I remember that episode, and if I recall, there's a scene after a cut where Kirk is putting on his boots. Which insinuates . . .
I read somewhere that the crew gets turned into dodecahedrons so that they didn't have to hire a bunch of extras to play all the people who would be on the ship being held hostage.
He got a foot massage? I'm shocked!

An
alien
foot massage!
Now I'm picturing the foot massage discussion scene in
Pulp Fiction,
but with aliens talking about Kirk and foot massages....
One of my photos from Hawaii got used in Schmap's travel guide.
They used one of mine for this ice cream parlor in Chicago. Speaking of, Happy Birthday, ChiKat!
I wish I was in Hawaii right now. It is grey and duhrizzley here today. A friend of mine is on her way there right now. So jealous.
