An old house, a geek, a cute transvestite, a very tall lesbian, and at least one ghost–what could happen? – Adult situations and artistic nudity. Not suitable for children.
Except that Star Trek does share the “old flames” around the crew. We meet both Nurse Chapel’s fiance (sort of) and Spock’s arranged bride-to-be (if she weren’t a conniving, selfish female dog, that is) I seem to recall even Scotty had an ex show up in one of the episodes. The books have even more romances for various crew members. Tears of the Singer is one of my favorites.
‘Captain’ is a position on a ship, the fact that it’s also a rank is confusing. The leader of a ship doesn’t always have the rank of Captain. If someone ranked Captain is on someone elses ship they are called Commador to prevent confusion.
For a transport (small ship, small crew) the rank of the leader (Captain) is usually Commander.
It gets even more confusing if someone holding the rank of Captain happens to be hitching a ride. There can only be one Captain on a ship and so the visitor is temporarily given the rank of Admiral for the duration of the trip, even if the ship’s Captain is only a Commander.
Basically their version of Captain Kirk.

The Captain in the show is called “Commander”? Bit of rank confusion there, I think.
Though if you were going to change it, I’d keep the Commander title. It helps it read as “come and… er… hug and kiss!”

For a shuttle the Captain can be a lieutenant.

Hey, don’t call her a dog. That is being very unfair to the canine species.
You are, of course correct.
As Wanda Sikes put it, “Dogs are LOYAL!”
