Star Trek TOS: season three.

This may be sacrilege, but watching season three, I can see why it went off the air. Who killed all the good writers from season one and two?

Actually, I don't think that's a big issue for TOS; I think it's generally pro-female sexuality. The annoying thing about "Turnabout Intruder" is this idea that women can't be starship captains because they're too emotional and impulsive.

*pauses to let that sink in*

AND JAMES TIBERIUS KIRK ISN'T???

When Kirk's old flame switches consciousness with him, her mind in his body and vice versa, Kirk turns into a camp gay version of himself. But it's mostly a more extreme version of himself, whereas the actress playing Kirk's-mind-in-Lester's-body comes across as more rational and decisive than Kirk does most of the time. After all, this is the same guy who was split into an empathetic but indecisive wimp and a self-indulgent alcoholic rapist and coward.

... Can you tell I just don't actually *like* Kirk very much?
