Thanks to miracle that is TiVo, though a bit to the annoyance of our Not-Much-of-the-Liking-Trek spouse, we this weekend plopped our tiki ass on the couch to view, for what must have been the first time in at least a decade, "Operation - Annihilate!" In case you don't remember, this is the classic Trek episode in which the crew of the Enterprise bravely beams down to a Canadian shopping mall to battle brain-eating creatures that resemble nothing so much as patches of funny comedy fake vomit.

"Operation - Annihilate!" brims with Trek goodness, featuring sufficient hair extensions to lasso Jupiter, plus an early appearance by our favorite bit character, the long-suffering Nurse Christing Chapel. We had not recalled that this segment actually features Captain Kirk's brother (who, unfortunately, doesn't make it past the first commercial break - evidently the powers that be decided one Kirk Boy was plenty).

Anyways, we were just to the part where Mr. Spock is attacked by a particularly aggressive plastic spew monster. He gasps and collapses into Kirk's arms.

And suddenly, we just couldn't stop thinking, "OMG, they are So. In. Love."
