Star Trek: Classic or Dud?

Seven of 9 was married to Chicago Republican whose sex scandal paved the way for Obama to take his vacated position and later, the White House.

Gene Roddenberry's boldest vision.

Oh and in ST:TMP Decker and Ilea were dating before the events of the movie, and at the end of the film they merge with the probe to become a non-corporeal being.

Spock has a hippie girlfriend on planet shrooms, but Kirk slaps him so he breaks it off.
Chekov has a hippie girlfriend in a crazy Christian cult, but she eats acid and dies.

Bones' old girlfriend turns out to be the salt vampire

And plays Erin Gray to Spock's Glenn Ford.

Scotty hooked up w/girls on several occasions on TOS including that one episode with the lights that take over people's bodies.

Nurse Chapel on TOS had an ex-fiance who they found building robots to take over the galaxy.

The ex-fiance, of course, turned out to be a robot copy of himself.

Ha ha girlfriends have higher mortality rates than red shirts.
Even Khan had a girlfriend (dead)

is it weird that none of the major ST characters, old or TNG, are supposed to be married or have boyfriends or girlfriends?

Maybe this is true for the OG series, but in TNG pretty much all the main characters have paired up with each other at one time or another: Picard and Crusher, Troi and Riker, Troi and Worf, Data and Tasha Yar... I think Geordi was the only main character who never paired up with another crew member... Or did he?

Geordi was a real ladies man - he seemed to go on dates more often then the rest of the crew combined.

Of course he'd always blow it by taking the girl out to some super cheesy holodeck island that he'd spent hours programming.

But he married a german hologram!

In the alternate timeline of TNG series finale All Good Things..., La Forge has by 2395 married Leah Brahms and had three children (Alandra, Brett, and Sydney) with her. He had left Starfleet and became a novelist. However, these events may never happen because of the divergence of the time line at the episode's end.

wow did not know that

Maybe this is true for the OG series

it is not true at all for the OG series. Kirk has more girlfriends than he can count, Spock has a couple trysts (including one arranged marriage), Bones has exes, Scotty and Chekov pursue romances, etc. Uhura's the only lonely one iirc

Star Trek: the land where black ppl can't get laid

The Spock arranged marriage episode is funny, because his wife to be dumps him for some other guy.
Doesn't Uhura avoid relationships because she was engaged to another Starfleet officer who was killed on a mission, or something?

I think Dan is more OTM... white America can't handle the black sexing

(fwiw I don't think Sulu ever gets a girl either)

Doesn't she lock a cadet in the closet for her pleasure?

lol Uhura didn't even have a canonical first name until the 2009 movie, she certainly wasn't going to have any canonical tail

Bones falls in love with Joan Collins

Uhura airs out her canonical tail in Star Trek V

V is so unwatchable I don't feel guilty for not remembering

Scotty and Uhura are under the influence of Sybok's mind meld therapy lose-your-inhibitions thing, so does that really count?

No, Uhura gets auntie-naked as a distraction

I remember reading that Kirk and Uhura kissing in an episode of the original series was the first ever interracial kiss on American television. Though they covered it by having Kirk and Uhura be under alien mind control or something when they did the deed.

Yes. It was the "Plato's Stepchildren" episode, I believe.

^^^episode is Plato's Stepchildren and it is TEH AWESOME one of my favorite episodes. yes it is the first interracial "kiss" but its more like interracial lip-brushing

i know they all have like HOOK-UPS, but isnt it weird that not ONE of the main characters is in a LTR for the main run of the show? it's like a ship of singles!!

why would anyone who's off galivanting around in deep space be in a LTR?

it's like they boldly choose to not be monogamous

really... "I love ya babe, be back in 5 years! Hopefully I won't have space crabs..."

wasn't there a tng episode where some alien force caused them all to get it on?

haha kirk is officiating a non-denom. wedding, then the ship gets attacked, and then at the end of the episode the only guy who dies is the groom, so kirk has to go tell the bride, and possibly schtup her. this is what happens if you get married in deep space.

Yeah, that's the episode where Tasha Yar finds out Data is "fully equipped", if you get my drift... I don't think the others had sex it in it though, they just went wild in other ways.

u know people in the like, army and navy and stuff are frequently married!!

you're kinda implying that our beloved characters might not represent federation society as a whole and might be a gang of socially-maladjusted misfits

Why else do we love them so.

USS ILXOR NCC 5308

That's why Enterprise seems to have much more odd and dangerous missions than any other Federation ship... They've hand-picked a ship full of maladjusted permanent bachelor(ette)s they can send to on deadly missions, knowing no one will miss them back home.

(xpost) ...to boldly zing where no-one has zinged before!

Thread of missing Charlie X.

How else could they get away with just drinking synthehol?

This would make Star Trek a far, far more interesting series.

Big Brother In Space

anyway, they're always talking about all the families onboard the enterprise, it's not like nobody who works on the ship is married!!

Chief Miles had wifey and a kid. Or did they just appear when he went to DS9?

this is more of a TNG thing, I don't think this is ever mentioned in the OS

It SO is mentioned in the original series.

Kirk talks about the CREW a lot, but families...? We never see any children
