    Obviously, because my last name is better. It is nice to know I have a planet. I will now, officially refer to that as Plan B…or where I will retreat to once space travel is feasible and my plans of world domination fall through

    Don’t tell me the science of it - I prefer to think of it as habitable and populated by Captain Kirk’s many nemeses.

    Can it be populated by Kirk’s many girlfriends? Dibs on the green one.

    Is there a difference between a nemeses and girlfriend on Star Trek?? I know one can be a nemeses without being a girlfriend but can you be a girlfriend without trying to kill Captian Kirk first?

    I’m pretty sure there were several who never betrayed Kirk. Rachel Welch or whomever it was on that time travel one. I just failed my nerd history check.
