The Arkanssouri Blog.: I don't know what's more pathetic,

Wednesday, March 15, 2006

I don't know what's more pathetic,

that I wonder about such things, or that even the Trekkies shun me when I ask.

In the Star Trek universe, are there gay Klingons? And if so, what is their status in Klingon society?

Even more sad update: I signed up on the message boards at StarTrek.com to ask that very question, and couldn't keep myself from asking something else that bothers me about the Star Trek universe, too:


Why humans?

Why are the Borg so intent on assimilating the humans? Wouldn't the
abilities of other species be more advantageous to them?

For instance, wouldn't it be much more useful to them to assimilate the Founders, so that they could shapeshift?And wouldn't the Betazoids' telepathic/empathic abilities be far more useful than anything humans could offer them?

The Klingons' bodies are much more durable than ours.

Even the Vulcans' tactile telepathy would be more useful than what humans have.

So why are they so intent on assimilating man, while more or less leaving the rest of the Federation and the Klingon Empire alone?

OBEY SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES.



And so the descent begins . . .

Actually, Kip, Picard has an "ex." At least he did in one draft script.

He didn't have any problem with having an ex-boyfriend, but (I think) the script fell apart for other reasons.

And then there's Riker, who fell in love with a being not knowing, and not particularly caring, if that being was male or female.

And take a good look between the lines of Chief O'Brien and Dr. Bashir's friendship. I think toward the end of DS9, they even admitted they loved each other, but couldn't pursue it because by that time Chief was already married to Keiko. (Bitch.)

And then there was the hot Dax-on-girl tongue hockey with her ex-wife, despite the fact that they each have a Pleasure Ditch and neither one has a Love Club.
