I love Wondermark. Each strip is a gem.

How is it I don't remember this one? I'm sure I've seen all the original Star Trek episodes. The thing that used to surprise me even as a child was how Captain Kirk always got the girl. The Leonard character. I remember thinking "Eww, Am I meant to like the boring one?" as kids do.

Spock was always smarter, more interesting and more exotic. I think this is where my Shenny shipping predetermimation started. The true outsider NEVER gets the girl. It's always the other guy, there's always someone who is too different, not allowed to be the main guy.

But she was a killer and the daughter of a mass murderer. The actress went on to costar on a show called Ironside.

Interesting that the modern reboots of cerebral outsider characters (Spock, Holmes, the Doctor) have all involved some form of interest in relationships. Het ones, generally, too, which has an extra level of amusing considering that K/S is kind of the echt fan slash. I think media is a lot more aware of, and inclined to accommodate, fan presence. 'Sherlock' particularly knows it's audience and has sly jokes with them.

Moved the rest of this conversation to the shipping forum.

I knew I'd seen her somewhere before. My sister got the ironside boxset.
