“.. that the actor portraying Spock a “pickle chugger”

A pickle chugger?!! Never heard that one before. LOL!!

[longtermmemmory]

but he is now exposing his private life and confessing because he has done a number of homosexual characters and is becoming a “anti-bullying” activist.

He should have kept his mouth shut. It is not as if he is a minor character that can be ignored. This is like rock hudson movies no longer having a shelf life.

No matter how you slice it, homosexual conduct is not accepted (forget push polling) imposing his recreational agenda by prancing in public is not going to help.

So, in the rebooted Star Trek they have Spock and Uhura rutting like lab rats... what else could they screw up?

Spock gay? In... conceivable!

Then again in the ending of The Search for Spock he had... that look--

I was doing fine until... those bitches from the antique shop got me on apple martinis!

With that unibrow of Spock Number 2, it was certain he was either gay... or a Gieco caveman--

Spock Numer 2 tried to turn Mongo gay... but Mongo cannot wait seven years for second chance!

Looks like I picked the wrong day... to give up sex with women!

Welcome... to the club, Zaco, you cute little pest!

Gadzooks, it is enough... to put me off cigars and bananas for life!

Don't worry, in the year 3000... they reboot Star Trek again that this time they get it right!

DAMN you . . .

"Live long and proctor"

[jimmygrace]

I totally disagree- Star Trek 2009 was the best one! Simon Pegg as Scotty was fantastic. The best part- it erased all the sucky Star Trek movies from the universe.

too each, must resist “travel in different circles joke”, must resist....

In all honesty, before yesterday, I had NO CLUE that ZQ was gay...

I said the same thing about Neil Patrick Harris.

But afterwards, it's usually pretty clear.

You can't ask a musical comedy star whether he's Jewish or gay. From now on, just assume they are all Jewish and all gay. -- How to Lose Friends and Alienate People

Quinto was excited when he hear “live long and proctologist”

If jj abrams can fire a crazy woman, he can easily fire a crusading homosexual.

[big'ol_freeper]

I think I missed that episode..

...sigh

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Colon Cowboy??!!

Pickle chugger???!!!

You’re killing me!!!!!!!

[greene66]

I dunno. An episode of the old series I always used to like a lot was “The Naked Time,” but frankly, now watching Sulu prance around shirtless with a sword... eh, thanks to the new, unwelcome addition of gay context, it frankly sinks the whole episode for me.

[Tanniker Smith]

It will make it difficult to suspend disbelief now if they decide to pursue the Spock/Uhura relationship.

It just would not be logical.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Well, I guess this means the sequel to the reboot will be called, “Star Trek 2: The Push For Stool.”

You kind of wonder if the people who made the movies knew and were just giving the fans what they want -- if by "fans" you mean people who write the Spock-Kirk fan fiction and post the funny graphics online.

[longtermmemmory]

that line was in there for promote homosexuals as normal.

The proper answer on that issue is everyone is straight (aka normal) let the abnormal 1.5% justify themselves.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Do you really think the average Trek fan is going to care?

Homosexuality is illogical. It does not lead to procreation.

[longtermmemmory]

usually that was the overweight fan women who had no life beyond star trek conventions.

[Charles Martel]

But afterwards, it's usually pretty clear.

Case in point:

[fieldmarshaldj]

Apparently Barbara Eden just recently confirmed that Hayden Rorke was gay.

[Wonder Warthog]

"Beyond that I would hazard a guess that most Star Trek fans are to the center or further left and something like this will have zero effect on the Box Office except for people who can’t separate themselves from there own personal disagreements."

Bad guess. Most sci-fi aficionados are more libertarian than socialist.
