The Man, He Ain't So Hard to Understand

I'm not exactly a fan of slash fiction (that's a longer discussion for another day), but in the midst of rewatching Season One of Star Trek: The Original Series--with its euphemistic talk of "thinking with your glands" and "unusually strong female drives"--I couldn't help but notice that certain pieces of dialogue seemed closer to homoerotic innuendo than I had previously remembered.

That may just be Pride Month talking, but either way, I give you:

Top Ten Unusual Slashy Lines (TOS Season One Edition)

[N.B. For the purposes of this list, "unusual" means that I didn't include any Kirk/Spock lines in the mix.]

10) Kirk/Christopher: "Feel free to look around, Captain. Don't touch anything, but I think you'll find it interesting."

9) Kirk/McCoy: "He's all yours, plum."

8) Kirk/McCoy: "Sometimes, pain can drive a man harder than pleasure. I'm sure you know that, Doctor."

7) McCoy/Kirk: "That's a boy, keep it up. Work up a little sweat, it'll do you good."

6) Kirk/Kirk: "I have to take him back inside myself."

5) Spock/McCoy: "I had a very strong reaction. My first sight was the face of Doctor McCoy bending over me."

4) Scott/Kirk: "Any way we do it, it means a mighty rough ride."

3) Kirk/McCoy: "He wants to get me down there, afraid I won't swallow it."

2) Cogley/Kirk: "I could get you off." followed by "You can pull out if you want to."

...and the most unusual slashy line of the season:

1) Landru/Kirk: "Landru is gentle. You will come."

This may yet become a (semi-)regular feature, depending on what Season Two has to offer...
