4. Amok Time, not just because of awkward ground-wrestling but because I have always seen that episode as a metaphor for struggling with closeted homosexuality.
I never saw it that way, really interesting interpretation! I will pay more attention next time I watch it, hehe. I have only once seen the uncensored version in English though and I wasn't thinking about whether the whole episode might be some kind of metaphor.
I do definitely think that's very likely though because of who the writer for that episode was...
Haha, yeah...Rand/Chapel is kinda a crack pairing, but sometimes I have to come up with elaborate headcanons/backstories for female TOS characters in order to get past the epic gender!fail in the series. Rand/Chapel kinda came out of that because i got sick of watching them moon over Kirk and Spock, respectively. Totally unsupportable by canon. Totally an aweseome ship.
I know, right! Polyamory literally would have saved the galaxy from Anakin falling to the darkside, in my headcanon. Too bad there doesn't seem to be much of a SW fandom on LJ (believe me, I looked) because I'd read the hell out of that fic. I guess I've gotten spoiled by the giant active Trek fandom :/

Okay, seven things....
1.Favorite Firefly pairing?
2. First moment Bones realized he loved Jim.
3. Best friendship pairing (platonic OTP)?
4. First Green Day song you learned to play on the guitar. And if you don't play guitar, go with "heard" though that's less interesting.
5. Favorite Green Day lyric?
6. Favorite 3 Star Trek fanfictions?
7. Best pairing in Sherlock which is not John/Sherlock

Heh, you're probably dodging a bullet by not getting into comics fandom, it is incredibly huge and confusing and wanky but kind of endearing...
Chapel/Rand! I'd never thought to ship that one (always it was Uhura/Chapel or Uhura/Rand...) but omg, I could totally get onboard with that.
Agree with you on Obi-Wan & Padme & Anakin's canon-ness. :)
