Name the fandom. And repeats, etc.

I was kinda saying this the other day, but I think we (as a society) do a pretty bad job at disentangling different kinds of affection. The fact that these two people, whoever they are, have this deep connection doesn't say anything about whether or not they'd date each other. They could have the deepest, most intimate affection for each other, without that affection being in any way romantic or sexual. So you're not necessarily wrong about their connection, regardless of the RPF shippiness of it all.

(but also, of course, maybe they would date each other - who knows?)

LOL, I could've made this secret, I swear. I guess it's a common mistake when people hear this saying in conversation, but don't read it in print. You know another one that makes me stop and laugh? "Nip it in the butt", instead of "nip it in the bud".

So, one, I totally agree with you. I love the (effectively) utopian elements of Star Trek and I love utopian fiction in general and I've found that's only increased in the past 6 months or so.

Two, I think we need way more utopian fiction! I think Star Trek is an interesting example because it's not actually that utopian, largely because it's not really about that - it's not trying to do wild science-fictional flights of fantasy or focusing on details of what such a world might look like, it's a pretty restrained version of what 60s liberals might imagine a society without conflict or material scarcity, and then doing five-act moral teledramas within that construct. And despite that, it's still sort of the standard bearer in popular media for a utopian setting.

I'm... sort of guilty of this. I was looking forward to some hot subtext between some characters, and even ran with it for a while. But when everything settled, I realized I enjoyed the fandom pairing as friends rather than lovers, even with all the subtext. (I did manage to write one fic about the pairing, oddly enough. I leave it up because other people seem to like both the pairing and the fic, so why the hell not.)

Old man? I watched the whole thing and none of his characters struck me as old

That might be influenced by how many of the actors were genuinely near death, though

(This is not a "therefore watch it" comment, just having one of those "perceptions really do vary, huh" moments)
