    My fellow Spirk shippers have so many alleged (and usually unsourced) quotes by Gene about how he definitely was at least okay with the concept, if not actively worked it in, I wonder if he ever spoke about anything else at all.

      Yeah. His only problem with depicting non-hetero romance in TOS was because he knew it would never get past censors and he was already riding the red line on some of his episodes.

        Just having Nichelle Nichols there in a lead role was probably enough to boil some nuts at the time.

    I “strongly” believe that he “did not know”, you know? :-P
