Multitudes Contained

..........Michael B 'my kinsey six married for decades sister fanned herself and said 'goddamn' when he came onscreen in Black Panther' Jordan. (When I was describing sinners to her as a recommendation, she first lit up at the wholeass plot/concept and then went 'he plays *twins*?!!?! :D') Is 'not. A heartthrob.' LMAO Chalamet quit whining, it wasn't yours to win even BEFORE you were such a jackass about other performing arts.

So, we're gonna have a big ass geek fest that year, right?

yes, vulcans do sometimes touch hands in a sensual way, but when you think about sarek and amanda touching hands publicly in "babel," it's not a "public display of affection" in a get-a-room way. it's very affectionate, but it's a public display of affiliation.

i don't know, just imagine that you're the vulcans. you go investigate this warp signature, and you know these people have never met aliens before. first contact is a dangerous mission! these aliens (earthlings) could very likely just shoot you!

and so you land, and these new aliens tentatively approach. no shooting yet, so you give a formal gesture of respect. and this alien tries to mimic it... and then basically embraces you like you're a member of their family.

Happy First Contact Day!

I got into Star Trek when I was about 9 and found TNG on TV. I can think of worse shows to get sucked into at that point in my life.
