Dang, looks like I missed that comment! Happen to remember what it was?
Anyway the captain can apparently marry other people while in space, not sure if he can officiate for himself. But it would certainly save time if he runs into those women who won't "do it" unless they're married. Even better if he can instantly divorced them again in the morning! -

Wait a minute. A female of the species making a comment like this? I thought only men were pigs. I seem to be in error.
What can I say? My parents were children of the 60'.s I was taught to be a lady but also not to deny my baser desires. I've had a crush on Will Riker since I was a little girl.
Always remember to keep Ridin The Storm Out, people! -

The Talosians might have had a point about highly intelligent offspring although that's still largely random. But I'm confident that Yeoman Colt would have been a lot more FUN!
And heck, they were both there, he really didn't have to choose one or the other.
Vina wasn't really a viable prospect though, considering her actual age and physical condition. -

Hey, it's the 23rd century. He should have been able to have all three. Plus the bird in the next cage, and that Gorn-looking thing, and the Hell, how about some Talosians. Spread your seed, Mr. Pike. You have a nice place there.

Yes, and varied genetics would have been good for the Talosians plan too. But maybe in the mid-60s they couldn't be quite THAT obvious. Heck if they'd actually gone ahead and done it with ONE of them, they might have had to have the Talosians bring down a chaplain from the Enterprise to marry them!

Thought Paramount Pictures owned ST? Thought GR was just an honorary consultant?
Roddenberry's participation was thought to be necessary for the fans to accept the new TV show. Roddenberry was probably more revered in those days, and seen as central to the show's concept.
He is still highly regarded of course, but his flaws have since been made more public, and of course since his death it is no longer unthinkable to see a Star Trek project without his involvement.
