Star Trek: Classic or Dud?

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

nah the chief married that asian chick on tng

> Troi and Worf had a relationship, but they only got married in an alternate timeline.

Worf marries J Dax in DS9. then she dies and he has a thing with Ezri Dax.

O'Brien is also married (keiko?) in DS9. (Xpost?)

ok then TNG!

Ha ha, this is one of the things that I always get a laugh out of with TNG. They're soooooo pleased with themselves that they cart their families around in their big expensive parenting lab, unlike the savage races that break up families for space travel.... BUT they're perfectly willing to put their families in the most RIDICULOUS danger imaginable every week. Implosion, warp core failure, time travel, saucer separation, various battles, etc.

O'Brien and Kieko have a baby while they're still on the Enterprise in TNG. Kieko gives birth during the episode where the ship gets hit by a quantum filament (or whatever the heck it is), and Worf is the midwife.

I love late-period Worf.

Ezri Dax was fiiiiiiiine.

Oh my gosh guys Riker drawings. Kate Beaton's are cracking me up:

Edward Gorey's Star Trek

awesome

Ryan North is clearly not a great draftsman but his "Season One" Riker is spot on

Yes – that jaw. What a great drawing.

Uhura's the only lonely one iirc

But what about this classic moment:

Swashbuckling Sulu: I'll protect you, fair maiden!
Uhuru: Sorry...neither!

Best line ever!

What if Star Trek was an ITC production in the mid-70s?

Turns out the story about Star Trek showing the first kiss between a black and white actor on American television isn't true after all... Nancy Sinatra had already kissed Sammy Davis Jr. on TV in 1967, a year before "Plato's Stepchildren" aired:

I don't think Sammy-Nancy was a "hot" kiss

LOL

Crazy Nimoy! Zoe Saldana didn't exist even on a cellular level back then.

i can't even believe this question was ever asked. anyone who doesn't like Star Trek, even in a secret way, can fuck off and die.

i remember having the trek/wars argument when i was in school and saying star wars. i was so fucking wrong. wrath of khan and search for spock alone > star wars.
