Star Trek N00b_(2)_Rory Midhani_640

Get out your ale and bodkins and settle down for some Shakespeare, because this episode is pretty much a Star Trek remix of Hamlet and Macbeth. Lit nerds, I’ll be sure to call out the plays and passages for ya in this one. As always, watch along here.

Maybe you’ve shared the story with a close friend as part of the bonding process. Maybe you wrote it down in our open thread. Maybe you reenacted it in front of a campfire to howling applause. Coming out — and its supposed opposite, being in the closet — are major plot…

Last year, when we asked our readers to vote for their favorite out queer women for the annual Hot 100, heaps of readers ignored the “out” part and voted in droves for Ellen Page… who came out last month.

Or did you collect the trading cards so vigorously that you had all 151 and put them in sleeves in a binder in Pokédex order and then memorized them faithfully until you could rattle off all 151 names in that order? Uh. Not that I did. Or anything.

Okay, yes I did. Me and my…
