Nerdy Fact #1501: The producers of Star Trek included scenes of overt sexuality to deflect the focus of NBC’s Broadcast Standards Office censors from other controversial aspects in certain episodes, like blatant allegories of the Vietnam war and racism.
a little tasteful sideboob and no one will notice we’re telling the government to go fuck itself
And it WORKED. They had an episode about birth control. They had an episode about racism. They had an episode about the meaninglessness of war. In the 1960s. Right under the eyes of the censors. Because boobs.
why do people try to pit star wars and star trek against each other when we all know damn well jim kirk would be all over that psychic twink with a laser sword
OP you are so wise
The meeting of James. T. Kirk and Obi-Wan “Always Fucking Flirting” Kenobi would be AMAZING.
my absolute favourite thing about all the old star trek series is when the ship unexpectedly collides with something and, due to the lack of sophisticated special effects available at the time, everyone just throws themselves across the set as dramatically as possible
Wait, isn’t there stabilised gifs of these shots floating around?
I FOUND SOME!!!
Is Uhura just like grinning like a dork in the last one?
