So I'm watching TOS for the first time... (have alreay watched all show from TNG to DISC quite a while ago and yes, my fav is DS9 followed by TNG) and have just started "The Enemy Within"
Idk why but my shitpost-ridden brain instantly went "wait... d-did they make Kirk hot?"
that's it, that's the post. It's mostly a /hj (I hope (?))
(just has the vibe of queercoding a villain having the opposite effect)
EDIT: I have now seen the following sexual assault scene, wtf
Also this doggo is absolutely adorable in that costume
I haven't seen that episode, but now forever in my mind Evil Kirk is redeemed by the unstoppable power of doggy love. "I hate everything! Except maybe this dog. Actually, this dog rocks....do I really hate everything?"
