Note to self. Do not get into transporter with a woman.

[Dont_Tread_On_Me_888]

Is "Sulu" really the Japanese equivalent of "Sue"?

[InsureAmerica]

MAN - is there no end to this madness??? (no pun intended) I can't believe it. It's a wonder I'm not gay because star trek was an after school staple for me. I wonder of scotty knew? why didn't spock do a mind-meld and fix this??? Did the federation have a don't ask don't tell policy?? Many questions....

Photon torpedo comes to mind...

[Red Badger]

Yeah, kinda was obvious when he played that Swordsman in one episode .............

Kirk: "O-Whora, raise a channel."

[kingu]

Gosh, you'd think that with all the Star Trek and SciFi conventions out there, he was getting enough attention, but no... Gotta go dig for more...

Sorry, don't care. Never was more than a bit part actor who apparently likes bits.

Oh, wait, I get it - he's hoping for a new career as one of the eyes on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy!

Thank goodness it happened right when his new play is coming out. That will get him some publicity. What a coincidence!

[brownsfan]

Oh my, that's just wrong.

(And completely hilarious, I almost laughed out loud in my cube!)

[Reaganesque]

"Seriously, Checkov, does this suit make me look fat?"

[DM1]

This is old news for Trek fans. He used to show up at conventions with his "little friend" partner whatever

[TX Bluebonnet]

I heard he had a thing for Bones

[JFC]

What is it...

Come out of the closet week.

I heard he had a thing for Bones

Now that's funny.

[Red Badger]

Didn't his character say something like "Don't screw with me!" in the Star Trek Save the Whales movie?......

[mel]

I think that search feature needs improving

[Rummyfan]

Me thinking Data is of same persuasion

Data too? Guess he and George could get together and have their own special START TREK convention! Give a whole different meaning to THE TROUBLE WITH TRIBBLES! And the THOLIAN WEB!

It's worse than that...He's gay, Jim."
