I mean his nose is perfectly accessible so it only makes sense to.

I feel like TOS was a LOT more subtle about it. So many scenes where you’ve got Kirk holding a lady, fade to black, fade to a sunrise or some shit.

Pretty close! as I recall it’s some honor based thing? the story isn’t… very good. iirc the main king guy wanted to bone the star trek lady that’s fighting in that clip, which upset his favorite wife, so the wife challenged the star trek lady to combat to the death. Why said combat takes place in a jungle gym is anyones guess.

I always figured it’d make sense for the captains to be somewhat bigger than life IRL, so the choice of actors who can act big makes sense.

A couple people have said this now, but can you link some examples? I’ve been watching the channel for a while and don’t recall things like that, but it could just be that I was watching with rose colored glasses.

I feel like I have to point out that Xorg is neither unmaintained nor deprecated. It is old as tits though.
