I don't get at all why they feel the need to make Sulu's character gay. The original actor is, of course, but he's an actor, not the character. I suppose they think that's some kind of nod to Takei, but it seems rather silly and heavy handed.

Sir Slash

I blame Kirk. Sulu NEVER got to beam down to the planets with the rest of the team. Him and Chekov were the only two on the whole damned ship that never got laid.

Hell, even Wesley Crusher got laid on occasion.

But nobody ran around bare-chested, swinging around a rapier, sweaty as hell from those solar flare 60s TV studio lights, and still seem straight.

Sir Slash

That was only when he was drunk from the alien goo that got on everybody. Which is why Kirk never let him drink again in the show. But now Scotty.....

Kirk tended to get goo on alien women.

Kirk really lived up to that part of the mission.

Interesting read. I like Mr. Takei even more now (if that's even possible). Show's you how the people running Trek Wars have no clue. Why reboot what didn't need rebooting? Pick another ship in that period and have whatever kind characters you want. Even (God forbid) a horta if you actually think that makes any sense in any universe.  ::)

Ensign Horta was a good minor character!

PAAAINNN! PAAAAAAAAIIINNN!!

(For all I know the character was great; I seem to recall some good stories from that writer.)
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.
