Okay, so the new Star Trek movie just opened yesterday, but due to my parents being out of town on some amorous trip in Las Vegas together, my husband and I are without an evening baby-sitter. Thus I am forced to wait a WHOLE WEEK before I get to see the movie! But instead of throwing a tantrum about it while I wait, I’d like to dedicate each of the next 8 days to why Star Trek is so freakin’ sexy to me.
Firstly, all of the Star Trek series weren’t just about space exploration, they were about the exploration of people, emotions and relationships. The episodes all touched on things like altruism, racism and equality, sexism, diversity, passion and politics, and so much more. Every episode left you thinking or feeling in some way.
But even moreso than the great themes, it’s the great characters that were so hot I find myself compelled to write a tribute for my favorites. I’lll start today with ** Mr. Spock **.
Ever since I was a little girl watching the original Star Trek on a 9-inch black and white television set with one bent antenna while my mom pressed my hair, I’ve been fascinated with Spock. He’s got all the characteristics a geek girl like me needs to fall in love with (besides flexible fingers):
- Tall and dark-haired
- Intelligent, talented and ambitious
- Extrasensory pecerption (What I would give to do a mind-meld with Spock! I bet my thoughts would make him blush)
- Calm and logical
- Can throw down when the situation calls for fists
- Secure, mature and masculine
- Inquisitive and somewhat “innocent” (oh the things I could teach Spock)
- Long ears that are perfect for grabbing when – *coughs* er hmm
- His hormones only rule him every once in a while, making him actually an interesting challenge
- Exotic (You’re from where? The planet Vulcan, you say? Ah yes, I’ve always wanted to visit some place new …)
What a man. **swoons** Spock may also be responsible for starting my elf-fetish … I mean, afterall he IS very much like a futuristic high-elf … although Orlando Bloom as Legolas from Lord of the Rings definitely helped perpuate it.
Let me know what you think about Spock, and come back for the continuation of my 8 Days of Star Trek!
