Ramadu posted:fat homely girl looks worried Literally nobody needed you to announce that you're not attracted to an actress. I realize you're probably used to thinking your opinions on women's appearances are important, but they aren't, and you're not just being an rear end in a top hat, you're being a boring rear end in a top hat. We super don't care where a random stranger does or doesn't want to put their dick. I'm very happy this show seems to be growing its beard. It took some getting used to, with the Battlestar Galactica direction, but I have The Orville for my old school Trek, so this is cool too.

Why do you care so much? shovelbum posted:Imo it's really lovely to bring your personal baggage that intrusively into an established franchise it's Patrick Stewart's dune buggy all over again It's a name. Of a character you'd never met before.

It's weird that Star Trek made both Space Jews and Space Jewish Stereotypes. I mean, not that weird, because one was probably Gene's racism, subconscious or not, and the other came after his death, but both were wildly divergent character types on DS9.

This shouldn't annoy me as much as it does, but I hate how Into Darkness and now Disco treat Section 31 as something the entire federation seems to know about when almost nobody in starfleet proper, up to the admiralty, knew they even existed pre-DS9.

My problem with it specifically is that they were a big secret in canon until Deep Space Nine, again, all the way up to Admiral Ross, but since we as fans know about them, the show treats them like everybody knows about them even in prequels.

bring back old gbs posted:cmon guys its SO OBVIOUS the memory of Section 31 is going to get lost in the same black hole the Spore drive gets dumped into There's been tons of magic space bullshit that, if adopted en-masse, would completely gently caress continuity going forward, but it's always walked back. This one's just lasting seasons instead of one episode. Of course if they don't write it out and it's just a dangling participle of a technology, I'll be as nerd mad as anybody else. jfood posted:section 31 is probably more akin to cointelpro or mkultra... real things that at some point become wild conspiracy theories uttered only by crazy people, eventhough they might still be a real thing at the same time. Edit: Beaten by an hour and twenty minutes.

I'm happy at least parts of the internet are coming around on this stuff, because for years you couldn't bring up the creeping bigotry without being called an SJW and getting banned for "causing problems."

Big Mean Jerk posted:I honestly feel like it’s getting worse, not better. I’ve even seen that poo poo creep onto SA, and this place used to pretty good about it. Within a few days, if I recall correctly, one rule returned. No racism. The rest of it was still fine. All it took was for the threat of the banhammer to be lifted to see how many goons were only holding their poo poo together only for fear of consequence. It was like Trump getting elected. Suddenly people who knew not to be bigots in public were activated like loving racist borg drones.

I'm a nonbinary queer person four months into my transition and I made a thing about TNG's The Outcast, because in 1992 it got a lot of things super right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKwQYiX172k

Didn't Uhura exist because there was no universal translator ten years after this happens? See also: translator box with delay in Star Trek 6 several decades after this.

Killer-of-Lawyers posted:I never understood why people thought Uhurah was just a switch board operator,. I'm not as huge a stickler for canon as some, but it's getting in the way of the story just as often if not more often than they're ignoring it, so I wish they'd just pick a side. Are we all about Spock and canon, or can there just be holograms and technology that shouldn't be present in this era and that's okay? Because doing both feels like the worst of both worlds.

marktheando posted:Like section 31 are the idiots who screwed everything up, you really have to stretch a lot to see them as the heroes making tough choices. The spirit of Star Trek has bended toward fascism since Deep Space Nine flirted with it before coming to the conclusion that "no. This is A Bad Thing." But then Voyager had a lot of Hard Woman Making Hard Choices, Enterprise was post 9/11 and had that stink on it where America was using fiction to justify its own horrific actions. See also: 24. Then Into Darkness had explicit 9/11 trutherism in it and Discovery was all about that fash until the last ten minutes of season 1 and it's been tonally inconsistent at best, but one thing's for sure: nobody's interested in optimism. The story they keep telling, ad infinitum, is that you need to compromise your beliefs and sell your soul a bit to protect other people from having to do so. And y'know what? gently caress you. I liked the ethos of there always being a better way.
