Things of Note Do inter-species relationships on Star Trek constitute bestiality? Stupid, stupid, stupid. No. They do not. See? Primarily, because as the dictionary says, it is 'sexual relations between a person and an animal; sodomy'. Not too sure about the sodomy bit and who knows what Worf gets up to, but I am fairly sure Picard doesn’t consider everyone else to be an animal. He's far too advanced in left field thought to do that. But. There is always that annoying Texan in the even-more-annoying Enterprise (Travesty! A travesty!). I am not one to cast aspersions, but let's just say…he had a pretty close relationship to that dog, didn't he? There was something a little odd looking about him. Even if you ignore his reverence to Dr. Sam Beckett - god dammit, he will never, ever be anyone else or be known by any other name. Neither Scott Bakula nor Jonathan Archer. Only ever Dr. Sam. Beckett - and his weird Vulcan-love / non Vulcan-love, he had some pretty shady ideas about other species that they encountered. I wouldn't have put it past him to take advantage of the broken-down-ship-on-a-desert-planet-left-alone-after-Dr.-Sam-Beckett-has-disappeared-behind-a-rock-with-the-oversexed-Vulcan-woman. Getting back to the manner at hand. It was this argument going on behind in the back of my (dad's) car. And such was the magnitude of my rage at the utter stupidity and nerdiness (thus laying the groundwork for even more geek-abuse) of this conversation that a red mist descended. And I screamed into reverse instead of first. And I went up a curb and into a Pay and Display machine. And thus was the end of 'borrowing' my daddy's car.
