One of the best things about having forgotten most of Star Trek: The Original Series is that when I pick episodes off my DVDs at random they can turn out to be fabulous surprises. Like Planet of the Gangsters, or The One With Space Hippies and David Bloody Soul or Sulu Gets Taken Over Or Stoned Or Something and Goes Crazy (Again). The one I picked this morning had the less than inspiring name The Lights of Zetar but proved its fabulousness within the first five minutes, with Kirk's captain's log entry entirely dedicated to "Scotty has a new girlfriend and she's TEH AWESOME". The line "his heart throbs only to the Enterprise engines" is seriously used. Call me a bluff old traditionalist but isn't this log-a-ma-gig for recording ship's business for Starfleet Command, or something? Is Kirk the 23rd century equivalent of Carrie from Sex in the City? (Thousands of admirals are probably dying for the next installment and speculating as to who on Earth 'Mr Pointy' could be)

I now long to see him standing in the street looking like he's about to throw a hissy fit because a bus just ruined his tutu...

Now I'm tempted to grab some clips from ST-IV: The Voyage Home and do a fanvid, and I'm not even a fan of Sex in the City.
