"Where would you estimate we belong, Miss Keeler?" "You? At his side, as if you've always been there and always will."

this is very cute, thank you internet for having such things!
Edith Keeler: Did you... did you do something wrong? Are you afraid of something? Whatever it is, let me help.
James T Kirk: "Let me help." A hundred years or so from now, I believe, a famous novelist will write a classic using that theme. He'll recommend those three words even over "I love you."

the balcony bromance shows of the 2000s: some notes
(boston legal, 5 seasons, 2004-08 / house md, 8 seasons, 2004-12)
- you will wonder, how do these guys keep their jobs i mean seriously, in many episodes
- there is a balcony where the two male main characters + coworkers hang out + have homoerotic moments
- the younger man is played by an actor who was a very beautiful boy in an iconic 1980s movie; said movie will be referenced by name in an episode
- the older man is played by an actor best known for another iconic role like say maybe a useless foppish British gentleman or a starship captain; this role will outstrip it
- candace bergen appears, delivers killer put-downs
- john larroquette appears, is john larroquette
- moderate drinking
- copious drinking
- many many beautiful women and attractive men will come and go in the cast, sometimes without explanation; the two guys will be there for all of it, come hell or high water
- the guys in question love women, love them love them love them, one of them has been married multiple times, the other is a slut with one dark haunting woman behind him, but they will nevertheless end up together in a life-changing situation when the series finishes
- someone has a sex doll and is overly fond of her
- character gets away with murder
- character gets away with malpractice
- someone says ‘lock and load’ while wielding a weapon in the workplace (water pistols count shut up)
- one of the actors involved pretends there is no homoeroticism whatsoever; has absolutely never played one half of an iconic queer-coded couple ever before nope nope nope
- smoking cigars, phallically
- meredith hope eaton appears + does some groundbreaking stuff on representing characters with dwarfism
- jail time
- character sees psychiatrist played by someone about to become best known for iconic comedy role rather than previous serious roles (sue sylvester, captain holt)
- autistic characters that main characters understand in ways that others don’t, for what are obvious reasons to 2020s viewers
- the Only Sane Woman has a thing for one of the guys and lets them away with more than is reasonable given her position of responsibility
- epic, destructive jealousy and meddling when your best boy friend starts hanging out with someone else
- character says something insanely un-PC and/or downright offensive to someone, then makes life better for same someone using their mad professional skillz
- you will wonder, but seriously are these guys sleeping together because that would make this plot moderately less insane, often
- you will never wonder, do these guys love each other; the show doesn't work if they don't
