    Which I think is genuinely incredible. Watching the show evolve from a Star Trek Spoof to a Star Trek Comedy all the way to Just Star Trek was breathtaking.

    And to think, one of the most crucial plot points of the show--and how it evolved to encompass bigger and more profound issues--came from a gay joke.
