You had to know this was coming (as it were), but in watching Season Two of The Original Series, there was even more potentially homoerotic innuendo to be found than
what I'd encountered with the first season.
Because of that, it was harder (so to speak) to narrow down the most suggestive selections and form a proper list. I kept it up, though, and after a bit of a push and some concerted effort, I finished it off, so I celebrate the official 43rd anniversary of Star Trek by giving you:
Top Ten Unusual Slashy Lines (TOS Season Two Edition)
[As with the previous list, "unusual" means that no Kirk/Spock lines were included.]
10)
Kirk/Mudd: "Is that the way you're going to do it, Mudd?"
9)
Kirk/Garrovick: "Oh, Ensign, meet me in my quarters when you've cleaned up."
8)
Kirk/McCoy/Scott/Chekov/Apollo: "If we can wear him out, overwork him, that might do it."
7)
McCoy/Kirk: "Just lie there and be happy you're alive."
6)
Scott/Kirk: "The best we can do is to maintain thrust against the pull and hold our position."
5)
Jones/Bartender: "You won't find a finer stone anywhere."
4)
Kirk/Planet-Killer: "I intend to get a lot closer. I'm going to ram her right down that thing's throat!"
3)
Chekov/Chekov: "Take off your shirt, Chekov! Roll over, Chekov! Breathe deeply, Chekov!"
2)
Sargon/Kirk: "We left our seed behind us."
...and the most unusual slashy line of the season:
1)
Chekov/Kirk: "This is going to kill our romance."
Once more, Kirk clearly dominates (to coin a phrase), and that habit is sure to continue when Season Three gets a look...
Then again, it's possible that
Kirk just loves a mountain instead.
