Nov. 4th, 2013 11:40 pmI'm finally getting around to watching the Kirk/Spock TOS analysis series "The Ship's Closet" on YouTube. She makes a compelling case, well backed-up by the text of the show/movies and Roddenberry's own words. Good lord, Roddenberry outright compared their relationship to Alexander/Hephaistion and basically said the only reason they weren't having sex during the actual series was because of 1960s *cough* 23rd century mores. (Though that says nothing about the development of their sexual contact during the movies.) I mean, goodness knows it doesn't take much to convince me, but I do like a well-constructed thesis defense even so. ^_^
