    There’s a short story, The Procrustean Petard, where the TOS crew get gender swapped by ancient alien tech. Fem Kirk is basically told he’s (she’s, but the story doesn’t respect pronouns) unfit for duty because he’s so hot his crew and everyone he interacts with wouldn’t be able to resist his charms.

    It’s…problematic in so many ways.

        I’ve told myself I need to get around to watching Lexx so many times but never actually done it.

        I need to get around to watching Lexx sometime.

          Lexx is … demented. And the quality is very inconsistent. For every brilliant episode, there’s a total clunker. I never finished watching the final season, but I really enjoyed the parts of it that I did enjoy.

          The first season is more of a miniseries, it’s really easy to get through and it’s a goddamn masterpiece. The second season is also amazing.
