I don't care what anyone says, I found the new Star Trek movie delightful. I had a couple of minor quibbles, but my main immediate reaction was wanting to see it again, which I hardly ever want to do even with movies I like. Just to pull a mega-geek maneuver, there is a hint of an interest between Spock an Uhura in the original ST episode (the 2nd episode of the first season) "Charlie X," where Uhura sings a randy Spock song while Spock plays the Vulcan lute. The lyrics go like this:
"Oh, on the Starship Enterprise There's someone who's in Satan's guise, Whose devil's ears and devil's eyes Could rip your heart from you!
"At first his look could hypnotize, And then his touch would barbarize. His alien love could victimize... And rip your heart from you!
"And that's why female astronauts Oh very female astronauts Wait terrified and overwrought To find what he will do.
"Oh girls in space, be wary, Be wary, be wary! Girls in space, be wary! We know not what he'll do."
Dear gods, you are right, because I remembered how weird that was for her to do that. Maybe all those years they just kept it on the down low! Would make an interesting fan-fic, alongside all those slash fics about Kirk and Spock getting it on, too. Spock does remind me of some of those bi-boys I've dated, lol.
"Oh, on the Starship Enterprise
There's someone who's in Satan's guise,
Whose devil's ears and devil's eyes
Could rip your heart from you!
"At first his look could hypnotize,
And then his touch would barbarize.
His alien love could victimize...
And rip your heart from you!
"And that's why female astronauts
Oh very female astronauts
Wait terrified and overwrought
To find what he will do.
"Oh girls in space, be wary,
Be wary, be wary!
Girls in space, be wary!
We know not what he'll do."
