General Star Trek thread

Óh and it's you who determines that message is it? At the tíme nothing was discussed so ST was important but you didn't hear uhura whining about being an oppressed black women. She stood on her own abilities.

Nowadays everything is seen through race and gender. The individual seemingly has no agency or responsibility. That was not the message I took from 60s trek.

Don't get me wrong I'm in favour of gender quotos and positive discrimination but seemingly everything now must be seen through male vs females. White vs black etc

I will call you what you want to be called

But I won't pretend that a biological female is exactly the same as a transgender female.

I wont ask white males to apologise for everything. Look at our medicine. Our science etc.

The message of the 1960s should not be total victimhood.

A lot of white males are in abject poverty but seemingly they should still be thankful?!

Star Trek had gay people. It's just they were all evil and from the Mirror Universe.

Looking back on it Dax and Worf was a crap story. There are hints throughout that she was very sexually adventurous but then ends up with that traditionalist bore.She could have worked as Star Treks first poly-amourus bisexual.

Grey was a missed opportunity. It's not all that progressive to have the trans character dating the non binary one and then taken in by the gay couple. Have the trans character date a known heterosexual character and have none of the crew bat an eyelid at it.

Just try not reading the blogs.

If your sick of it you could also try not going on about it here. Pretty sure you are one of the ones usually starts these arguments.

As for sci-fi Camina Drummer was an open bisexual in a poly relationship with her I think 7 person crew. No one in world gave a sht and that's how it should be done.

I think we were just fortunate that "The Expanse" was niche so stayed off the gobshites' radar and we could all have fun discussing the actual show without exhausting discussions about "straight white male" quotas and the like.

Certainly not blaming you for this one. Blaming you for many others.

That could just mean the possible 7of9 show or it could be balls like all the other shows "in development"

Star Trek : Academy I think is the only definite one. It looks very likely to be a Disco spin off.

The rest are all "in development"

And you always harp on about memberberries we all have our quirks, IDIC and all that.

I never understood why they dipped their toes into the final three books on Laconia when they knew the show was ending. Still some kf the best sci-fi since BSG

A Voyager Continuation maybe. Actually try to pull off the season-long Year of Hell that they wussed out of doing and turned into a 2-parter. Since the current trend are season-long arcs it might actually suit streaming.

Would seem needlessly mean-spirited to put the whole original crew through that. I’d say; put a Captain Paris and his sidekick / first officer Kim in charge of a new “Voyager A” and her crew. Then have them re-thread some of the places they visited before, but with some kind of twist. Maybe the Talaxians now head a vicious empire and are the villains now, and Voyager A need help from the Kazon (now headed by Seska’s kid) to survive. Something like that.

Yeah I'd like see some sort of short continuation to Voyager but don't have the appetite for a full blown series. Endgame ended so abruptly, didn't even get to see the ship land on Earth/crew beam off. We did get to see snippets in later series thankfully. We know Janeway makes Admiral, Chatokay (and presumably Torres) get pardoned and welcomed back into Starfleet. But what happens to the Doctor, does Harry Kim finally get his promotion to Lt. JG, how does the crew adapt to a Federation post Dominion War. What was it like reconnecting with family/friends after a 7 year absence.
