There were, however, few contemporary records of any complaints commenting on the scene.[14] Nichelle Nichols observes that “Plato’s Stepchildren” which first aired in November 1968 “received a huge response. We received one of the largest batches of fan mail ever, all of it very positive, with many addressed to me from girls wondering how it felt to kiss Captain Kirk, and many to him from guys wondering the same thing about me. However, almost no one found the kiss offensive”
