It's crazy how many relationships can be boiled down to Spock/Kirk. It's nuts!

That movie set every Gen X girl up for serious disappointment.

I totally agree with you.

That crossed into romance for me, honestly.

Right?!

Dude, my best friend died last year (She was Kirk) and this is how I always said goodbye for a long while. Don't make me cry!

They're filmed in the bathroom? Daaaayum.

Why would they even study that! (not really)

Oh lordy, I would have absolutely lost my shit. I know I would have gone straight to 11 and made a spectacle of myself.

I could have written that letter 20 years ago. I was incredibly angry with all of Christianity for reasons I don't fully understand even now. Sadly, I was essentially a total bigot.
