I had the hugest crush on him. I kind of still do. Connor Trineer is Grade A beefcake.

He was a stuffy prude. He always rubbed me the wrong way. Don’t even get me started on his split loyalties.

Yeah, but Trip had the big Texas ego.

Also, Malcom may or may not have been gay, Dominic Keating may or may not have played him as gay and Brannon Braga may or may not have told Keating Malcolm was gay just to wind him up. And yet, he had several girlfriends. Malcolm is apparently very confused about his sexuality. So yeah, he probably would be a cold fish.

Brennan Braga was a known homophobe (just like Rick Berman). I wouldn’t take any of that too seriously. It doesn’t surprise me at all that he screw around with Keating in that way. What an asshole. 

[-] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Yeah, but that doesn't mean that Keating himself didn't decide that his character was gay and think he was playing him that way as an actor no matter what the script actually said.

Which he may or may not have been doing depending on when he was asked.

Oh, I don’t doubt that Keating might have decided to do that. Andrew Robinson, on Deep Space 9 certainly did, even in defiance of what Rick Berman had said with regards to telling him to stop it. That shit went on throughout the entire show.

For sure. Berman and Braga were total homophobes and it really held Star Trek back. But I was mostly just joking about Malcolm being too confused in his sexuality to be a good lover.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Too confused? No. Total try-hard? Yes. He has zero chill. He’s on or off. No game. The guy has no “relax” setting. Even with half a bottle of sweet, sweet Kentucky gold in him, he’s still insufferable.

How do you fuck a guy like that?

edit: even being a spy didn’t add to his mystique, it just made everyone see him as disloyal and unlikable. the most interesting thing about him is that he likes pineapple— which Hoshi was only able to discover after interviewing everyone he knew about how boring he is. he’s so stiff, he’d need a deep tissue massage just to sit down.

edit 2: even his Mirror Universe version wasn’t really evil, he was just even more uptight and insufferable. Like his Prime Universe version, but worse and with a van dyke.

Now do the hot space elf behind him!

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
