STAR TREK: THE LGBTQ+ PICTURE Ilia - the first non-binary character? 1st mission: to vandalize & remove the obelisk in The Paradise Syndrome because it's a symbol of evil white supremacist colonization oppressing Native American squaws.

In the end I must see Star Trek in whole as ultimately a TACO BELL Menu. What they offer and sell is always the same shit. Basically beans, meat, cheese but put together in many differently titled edible items. All the Star Trek stories were recycled from other similar stories, creatures, aliens and situations and told over and over again. Maybe the only difference is Star Trek never gave me diarrhea right after I watched it. Actually, while the ingredients were sometimes the same (because a Taco isn’t going to vary all that much), but they tried to be more nutritious. The point was to put substance in a package the average person could stomach. At its best, it wasn’t the same meal over and over but they did go back to family favorites. Sometimes the ingredients had more spice, other times they went with the tried and true. Overall, it was a more than satisfying mix. As for the novel, it was Gene Roddenberry’s version of the finished screenplay. If he had his way, the film would have played more like that, with Sulu getting a boner over Ilia and Kirk swinging both ways when it came to Spock. I can’t say it’s my favorite novelization, but it is an interesting version of the story.

* I always thought the scene in sickbay when Spock and Kirk were holding hands was rather odd. It was a little to passionate. The way Kirk looked into Spock’s eyes. The love was intense. You mean them "holding hands" through that Covid glass wall? Intense? Well, the eyes, yeah. Death is the only time men in movies show emotion toward each other (at least emotions that aren't a prelude to a fight).

and with his sexual appetite wouldn't consider a lover like Spock who only mates every 7 years. Pretty funny stuff. Ha! Made me snicker!
