I can’t even watch Star Trek with my boyfriend because every time Data appears on the screen my boyfriend goes off with “here comes that Real Good Boy love that Soft Robot Dude what a Cinnamon Roll Man yes-siree Absolute Best Boyo right there.”
Watch Star Trek in in-universe chronological order… Time travel included.
So you start by watching the 3ish minute scene of Voyager where a Q takes Voyager back to the big bang, then you move to the 4ish minute scene of Next Generation where Q takes Picard to the start of evolution on Earth, then to the DS9 episode where they go back to the 1930′s, then Star Trek 4 in the 1970′s.
Then you’re finally able to start watching Enterprise.
KIRK WORRYING THAT HE OBJECTIFIES WOMEN. PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT AND REALLY SOAK THIS IN.
[Image description: The first image is a two-panel Star Trek comic where Kirk asks Bones, “Bones… do you think I like women?” In the second panel, Bones reacts to this by coughing and spilling his drink all over himself.
In the second image, Bones asks Kirk to clarify his question, asking, “As… uh… As opposed to what?” Kirk replies, saying, “As opposed to feeling threatened by them. I mean, do you think I’m someone who feels uncomfortable being subordinate to, or on par with, a woman? Am I someone who relegates each woman I meet – especially the good-looking ones – to the status of either ‘I want her’ or ‘I don’t want her’?”]
