[QUOTE=Bryan Ekers] Saavik. [/QUOTE] Which one? Ah – both at the same time. Highly logical. And how about Kes? Emminently doable, and if you end up not wanting to commit, hey, she’s dead in eight years! ---

[QUOTE=WhyNot] I’ve always had a secret crush on Justin, the rat from _Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH_ (later titled _The Secret of NIMH_, of course.) The movie didn’t help - he was just so strong and confident and dreamy, and he buckled when he swashed. Or something. [/QUOTE] Since my crush has never been secret, I challenge your crush. 😛 You shall not have him. 😃 ---

Am I really the first person to claim Spike, from _Buffy_? Also, G’Kar from _Babylon 5_, the incarnation of the Doctor that looks like Christopher Eccleston, Kermit the Frog, and Superman. ---

My first impulse is to say Kira Nerys, but for all practical purposes she was a human being; 'cept for the meaningless nose bump and the bizarrely easy labor process, Bajorans are the most human of the Trek aliens. Then I thought of Jadzia Dax, but she knows too much; Ezri, but she was too boring; and 7 of 9 is too damn scary. So I’ll go with Wonder Woman. ---

How about formerly non-humans who became (sort of) human? Because Delenn (_Babylon 5_) is hot. Or half-humans? I had a minor crush on B’Ellana Torres, from _Star Trek: Voyager_. ---

I opened this thread specifically so I could mention Justin, from _Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nihm_, and I see that not one but TWO posters already beat me too it. Darn, On the other hand, I now feel slightly less weird for having a crush on a rat. ---

[QUOTE=cbawlmer] Am I really the first person to claim Spike, from _Buffy_? [/QUOTE] I thought about Spike, really I did. But although I _do_ want someone who’ll love me beyond reason, I’m not looking for that to be presented in a scarily intense, stalkerish manner. It worked for Buffy, but then she could kick his ass if he went too far. I can’t. ---

I doubt that many people remember a nice little made-for-TV movie from the '70s called **The Questor Tapes**. It was one of Gene Roddenberry’s projects, and it was supposed to be a pilot for a series, but the series never happened. The lead character is an android named Questor, played by the immensely handsome and charming Robert Foxworthy. I’d definitely consider dating Questor, if only to find out whether or not he is “fully functional.” ---
