I'm giving myself a crash course in Star Trek by watching the original series with my loathed nemesis, Shatner, and the delightful Nimoy. The show's pretty hilarious, but I don't know if I could stomach watching everything Trek. I guess as long as Spock is there, I want to be, too.
Speaking of Spock/Uhura-- yes, I was-- there is total canon basis here for the pairing. First episode in, and she's flirting with him. Second episode in, and she's singing the most flirtatious song EVER to/about him while he accompanies her on his lyre, while they both exchange knowing smirks. And Nichelle Nichols creating her own personal Spock/Uhura canon is canon enough for me.
ZOMG, the episode titled "The Naked Time"-- aptly titled-- had me rolling in stitches on the floor. Half-naked, surprisingly toned, George Takei prancing around the ship while fencing everyone he encounters and having some phallic fun with his sword? WIN! Bizarre, disturbing, yet infinitely hilarious win. Not to mention that he tried to get that other dude to go with him to the gym to "take the edge off." How anyone could have not known that George Takei was gay, I will never know. XD
