He played hell trying to wrap his Vulcan mind around the act of bluffing in a poker game.
Spock wasn't good at lying, but then he was always worried someone would see he did have emotions and see him as a "bad" Vulcan. Full Vulcans were perfectly capable of lying through their teeth. They just found some way of justifying it through logic. Much as those who want to preach absolutes in any philosophy.
Spock was and is so *fascinating* because he's such a contrary mix. Leonard can play whatever he wants, but to me he is always Spock.
My favorite trek is Deep Space Nine. Now there is something from OUR world. Sisko would be right at home here.
I write trek fanfiction, mostly long dark alternate timelines, and with the Dominion war all the rules changed. No more unlimited resourses to do everything and paradise has been shattered. Too bad tptb who owned it chickened out in exploring what would be a very current situation.
As for political leanings, they didn't think much of politicans...
Better to ask who stood in for whom with the Romulans and Klingons and other aliens.
So do all the people who read/write KS slash. One of the books was hurridly pulled because the copy editor had missed a reference to it that nobody had printed. Whole first printing was pulled from the shelves.
That is Kirk/Spock slash for the uninformed. The oldest fan fascination in trek fandom.
That's odd-I always thought they were Chinese communists.
In another day and less enlightented time, the Ferengi could have represented a not too subtle piece of classic anti-Semitism, not unlike Shakespeare's depiction of Shylock in The Merchant of Venice. I would certainly hope that it isn't.
Weren't there Klingons or Romulans, whose whole society was hard right, dependent on force, or threat to use force?
Like the Health Care bill where you're money is stolen by the government using force?
lmao some of you lefties here really make me laugh. Think you're so much better when in fact the only difference is you steal for your causes and the repubs steal for theirs.
Uhura - hands down. She was always focused on the emotional, touchy-feeling aspects, not the tactics, pretty clueless as to how to solve anything.
Yeah, that's why her job placement kept her feely-fingers engaged with the technological equipment, though when no one was looking, she would try planting her feely fingers all over Spock.
Conservative would be spock. He made logic based decisions, whereas liberals make emotion based decisions.
liberal: I have no idea.. I fyou t hink about it, the entire star trek universe is a socialist utopia. They don't even use money..
That's understandable.
There aren't many K-Marts in outer Space.
