i think what i love most about first contact is how true it is to the trek spirit. the whole scene between cochrane and solkar is a gesture of goodwill and exploration, a representation of humanity's struggle through war and division culminating in a new prosperous era of connection, respect, and the truly unfathomable heights of alien homoeroticism

i land on another planet. i immediately make a judgement call and french kiss an alien.
