Friends, it is the 23rd century... why is Jim not banging the alien boys?! Would his manhood somehow be put into question? I remind you, again, of Captain Jack, the manly man who likes other men (and women, and other assorted genders and aliens!).

I couldn't agree more. It's a bit like all those shows and movies which have vampires and people who live forever, but are straight, straight, super-straight - and I'm like 'please, get with it' it seems a little homophobic.

Of course, the fact that all the alien species seem to be binary gender also seems a bit weird, but heh. This is Hollywood ;)
