…the anatomy of Vulcan genitalia has been a topic of discussion for DECADES now, which I honestly find - as Spock himself so often says about other subjects - fascinating. From Fanlore (yes, Vulcan genitalia has its own page on Fanlore, because of course it does):
In The World of Star Trek (Ballantine, 1973), David Gerrold wrote about what he felt to be bizarre fan letters received by the creators of the show. Among them was a missive several pages long from an older woman who very carefully explained that she was married and this was not prurient interest, but that as red-blooded creatures have pink extremities, what she wanted to know about Spock – “with reference to particular extremities – if they were green.” Gerrold added, “Yes, they,” and added that the letter had been passed around for laughs and “idle speculation around the set had it that the particular extremity this woman was inquiring about was forked.”
So there ya go. I do recommend clicking through to the Fanlore entry, because it really is interesting, the astonishing breadth of fandom’s creativity, up to and including a pair of cosplayers dancing in penis costumes (one Kirk’s, one Spock’s). Somewhere, there is a video of that, but I can’t find it offhand, alas.
A pair of ads placed in Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, protesting Spock’s death in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The movie was released on this date in 1982.
imagine spock watching jim catch grapes in his mouth and he acts like he’s not impressed and then jim walks out of the room and spock glances around nervously and grabs a grape and tries it
and then he turns around and sees bones leaning against the door smiling like its christmas morning
I don’t think I’ve ever told anyone how much I love the Star Trek fandom.
A very nice family picture
(I said hi to them earlier in the day at their autograph booths and told them I had a photo op with all of them later and when I walked into the photo booth they all just yelled “there she is!!” And swarmed around me!!)
