Spock's Almost Wedding

Spock almost got married - remember?  It was a casual affair, only a few good friends invited, kinda low-key.  Ultimately, it was really an amok time!

Don't they both look thrilled?

Bones Bragging

Really, Bones...  Really??

Dr. McCoy - Can You Tell Me About Those Horny Tribbles?

Dear Dr. McCoy - What's with all the fuzzy, purring lint balls clogging up the place lately?  What are these things, and why the hell do we keep getting more of them?  -- Signed, Clueless In Warp Drive Maintenance

Dear Clueless In Warp Drive Maintenance, Tribbles are born pregnant. Enuff said?  Well, there is more, but suffice to say that the more you feed them, the more they breed like Bolian Bunnies. Sounds kind of like those Gremlins too - don't you think?  I've always wondered about that myself....

Sexy Spotlight: Joan Collins - Edith Keeler

British actress Joan Collins holds a special place in pop culture history.  On the primetime TV soap, Dynasty, Collins played Alexis Carrington - the wealthy European socialite who smoothly put the mega rich in elegant bitch. During the 1980's, she served as a true icon of the materialistic oriented decade.  Before mixing it up in nighttime soap opera, Collins played none other than Captain Kirk's lost love - a romance denied to him by the cruel hand of fate and time.

In writer Harlan Ellison's episode, City On The Edge Of Forever, Collins plays social worker Edith Keeler, as a passionate intellectual. She has an unwavering charitable bent to help save the poor, marginalized and downtrodden, and to lift them out of the ghetto.  However, her time as a beneficent angel on Earth is sorely limited - it has to be, or the proper timeline won't be sustained.  A fateful and ultimately fatal incident must play out, or history will be forever and detrimentally changed.

Star Trek Sexy Spotlight - Tribbles

Who gets the most action in the Star Trek universe?  Captain Kirk flirting with those green skinned Orion beauties?  Vulcan Spock in his 7 year mating cycle?  7 years?!  That's Pon Too Farr!  And no, it's not that bearded wonder Commander Riker getting busy with Troi or fully functioning Data programmed in multiple techniques.  The most sexually productive creature of them all by far is the hairy little fuzzball known as the Tribble.

In the original series episode, The Trouble With Tribbles, Dr. McCoy established the fact that the little fuzzy beasts are literally born pregnant.  Most recently, the fur balls made an appearance in the feature film, Star Trek: Into Darkness.  Tribbles are hated by Klingons, so if you want to piss one off, simply put those purring fuzzballs to good use.  As Scotty would say, "It'll be no tribble at all!"
