Science fiction fans: how "alien" is too alien to sleep with?

Oh, that old chestnut.

Yes, a misinterpretation of “eat me” could have tragic consequences.

Damn, rules out 99% of the Legion. :frowning:

Going off on a tangent, I’d also be down with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjAoBKagWQA, provided she had an actual personality.

Dude, she’s 12. :eek:

Cetacean years, or human years?

I mean, that kind of thing can be important in situations like this. Sleeping with a 2 year old android might be less skeevy (I think that’s the technical term) than even checking out a 15 year old human. :eek:

Hell, just imagine what it must be like for some aliens in the same situation…“Officer, I swear, I thought she was 128! C’mon, does she LOOK like a 48 year old kid to you!?”

They sorta covered that in the recent game Mass Effect, where the alien you could get it on with was something like 100 and still considered young.

Not really. Her theories about the extinction of the Protheans didn’t get much respect because she’s “only” 106, but the asari encourage inter-species relationships, and are well aware that most species don’t live a millennium.

Speaking of Liara, I think she’s adorable.

I’ve always thought most of the “alien” Legionnaires came from worlds that had been colonized by Earth. Certainly Naltor was; the high seer referred to Earth as “the mother world” on at least one occasion. Of the classic Legionnaire homeworlds, I think only Colu, Daxam, Talok VIII, Durla, and Phantom Girl’s home world (I’m not going to try to spell it!) and wherever the hell Tellus came from were not Terran colonies.

That was hot!

My ex was a Klingon. We divorced due to irreconcilable differences…I am human. He is not. :wink:

I always figured that’s why Troi & Worf broke up. She was fine with him when he was quoting love poetry and wrestling targs for her, but one cracked rib and she was out of there.

I would love to have been a fly on the wall when Troi was discussing the breakup with Crusher afterwards; after all, Beverly was not only her best girlfriend but also the person who’d have had to patch her up. I imagine it went like this:

BC: I hate to say I told you so…

DT: Shut up.

BC: …actually that’s a lie. I love saying I told you so.

DT: Please shut up.

BD: Anyway, I told you so.

DT: SHUT THE FUCK UP!

BC: You know, if you yell while I’m fixing your ribs, it’ll just hurt more.

I squicked my kids out by telling them that it really didn’t matter what shape the metal had been hammered into, those robots weren’t female. The only autobot close to a female was Optimus Prime. He had the matrix that could make new autobots.

Thats a pretty good squick, but really isn’t that asexual reproduction? Since prime is surrounded by infertile robots (drones) of his species wouldn’t he actually be some type of fertile queen?

In the novelization to Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, the half-Vulcan, half-Romulan Saavik and David Marcus have a brief affair. He enjoys lying in bed next to her, as she is considerably warmer than he is, while she compares his cooler body temperature to enjoyable shade on a hot summer day. Win-win!
