Hee! *grin* This conversation is reminding me again why I had missed Star Trek in my life.

I am not a member of either of those traditional OTP shipper groups, but I can TOTALLY understand them. I had an interesting response to this new Spock + Uhura thing. First I didn't detect it from their conversations and her justification for him reassigning her.

Then I figured she was just overexcited when she kissed him in the lift, and he was taking it as an expression of sympathy and not going to do anything about it because there was already enough going on.

And then, there they were on the transporter pad and I thought, "Get your hands off her ass, boy, you're in public!"

And then I thought, at the director, "REALLY, J J? You're really gonna do this?"

And then I realized how adorable their kids would be, and I was hooked.

*shrug* That's how I work.

I'm not saying they _have_ to! I'm just saying I know potential for serious hybrid vigor when I see it!
