	This is almost an understatement. I "love-interest" female character is any female guest character who Kirk looks at. This must happen at least once per episode. It must be in William Shatner's contract. Next time you see Trek, you'll see what I mean.
	Also, gauze is not the only thing than can be used for soft focus. Most photography books list Vaseline and panty hose (yes, panty hose!) as possibilities.
