i am watching this weird round table discssion thing featurinf whoopie goldberg (host), shatner, nimoy, patrick stewart & johnathan frakes.

is that on the undiscovered country bounus disc? worth watching? have been mildly curious about this. seems like there's a good potential for lolz.

just watched this the other day:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0296753/

pretty boring until shatner starts talking about how he couldn't possibly understand how anyone else on the cast could have a problem with him. then he speculates that it could be because the love these minor players get at conventions has blown up their egos! nimoy even backs him up on this!

crazy person:

Mind Meld is hilarious - I lol's at Nimoy's confessions about his "drinking problem"

I find Shatner rather charming for an egomaniac with a persecution complex.

egomaniacs usually are pretty charming!

oh, he's definitely charming. totally perfect for the kirk role.

really funny that the person "interviewing" him in the video I posted is his daughter.

and it's pretty obvious that a lot of this stuff is done with a wink to the audience but mind meld seemed to really hammer home the idea that shatner has a (being generous here...) pretty underdeveloped sense of empathy.

'I lol's at Nimoy's confessions about his "drinking problem"'
I thought his alcoholism was real! It's not some kind of Borat thing is it?

yeah, that part came off as pretty legit to me, actually.

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

They have each other.

Troi and Riker get married at the beginning of Star Trek Nemesis.

The Doctor and Picard get it on at one point, don't they?

Troi and Worf got hitched.

Troi and Worf had a relationship, but they only got married in an alternate timeline. Damn I sound like such a nerd...

Doctor from DS9 was married to Kira from DS9. His uncles include a Saudi King and Malcolm McDowell.
I outnerd you!

One of the officers on the new Enterprise at the beginning of "Generations" is Sulu's daughter.

Which implies a wife or girlfriend of some kind at some point.

Also, James Kirk - Carol Marcus.

The ensign who dies from radiation exposure in ST2 is Scotty's nephew.

Also, David is Kirk and Carol's son.

Kirk's brother (played by Shatner wearing a false moustache) is in one episode of TOS.

The Doctor and Picard get it on at one point, don't they?

Also Worf has a son, Alex, by that Klingon ambassador who gets killed by Duras.

Torres and Paris have a baby in Voyager.

Sisko has a son, lost his wife during the space battle with BorgPicard.

Even Q has a son.

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?
