When we asked how Spock and Kirk regard one another, what in fact their relationship consists of in texture, Gene Roddenberry said: ’…I definitely designed it as a love relationship. And I hope that for men…who have been afraid of such relationships…that they [Spock and Kirk] would encourage them to be able to feel love and affection, true affection…love, friendship and deep respect. That was the relationship I tried to draw. I think I also tried to draw a feeling of belief that very few of us are complete unto ourselves. It’s quite a lovely thing…where two halves make a whole.’

From Letters of Note: in which it is revealed that space husbands exists at least in part because Gene Roddenberry was like, Jeez Isaac Asimov how do I make Kirk more likeable? And Asimov was like, You should probably make him really obsessed with Spock. Yeah, people will like that. And have them save each other’s lives more? And dress up in weird outfits. For mission reasons. I don’t know just make sure that it’s impossible to think about one of them without thinking about the other. Now go do what I said I’m the master of hard science fiction I know what I’m talking about.

(Also, in which many jokes are made at the expense of William Shatner[’s ego].)

If this is not the way we really are, it seems to me most certainly a way we ought to be. During its voyages, the starship Enterprise always carried much more than mere respect and tolerance for other life forms and ideas- it carried the more positive force of love for the almost limitless variety within our universe.
