So I'm watching TOS for the first time... (have alreay watched all show from TNG to DISC quite a while ago and yes, my fav is DS9 followed by TNG) and have just started "The Enemy Within"
Idk why but my shitpost-ridden brain instantly went "wait... d-did they make Kirk hot?"
that's it, that's the post. It's mostly a /hj (I hope (?))
(just has the vibe of queercoding a villain having the opposite effect)
EDIT: I have now seen the following sexual assault scene, wtf
Makes sense, tho as you said I wouldn't suggest bad intentions/faith of anyone in the team behind Star Trek (except fucking Berman, obsly), since I see it as a deeply progressive (not in the lib way) show
