concrete_baby,

You don’t even say why you don’t like LD

concrete_baby,

Hope she gets some much needed mental health support in prison

concrete_baby,

Whoosh

concrete_baby,

You can say that about most of the world

concrete_baby,

That’s quite impressive considering that that human has no fingers

concrete_baby,

Why is it the exact opposite of what Alex Kurtzman wants to do?

concrete_baby,

So Boimler inadvertently causes Nurse Chapel to end her relationship with Spock and encourage him to go back to T’Pring?

concrete_baby,

I disagree. Trek has always been progressive, and that’s what the whole series is about: infinite diversity in infinite combinations. TOS had Chekov, a Russian on the bridge in an American show during the Cold War era. It had Uhura, a Black woman on the bridge at the age of segregation and institutional racism. It had Sulu, a Japanese man when Japanese American families were wrongly incarcerated only years ago in WWII. The founders of the Federation were from four different species and set aside differences to build a better union. It’s the bastion of progressivism, and a rebuke to conservatism and isolationism.

Let’s move on to the Berman era. The Federation is now what people like Tasha Yar look up to, after spending her childhood escaping rape gangs. What does the Federation stand for? Equality. We have Doctor and Data trying to be recognized as equals to sentient beings. We have Tasha Yar, a woman engineer, Kathryn Janeway, a woman captain, Kira Nerys, a woman Bajoran leader on DS9. Berman and his colleagues never seriously considered a man playing the captain of the Voyager. They also made women characters complex and gave us Seven of Nine and Kai Winn, who both have their own motivations and personal history that shape their characters. And who can forget the Sisko as the first Black captain leading a series and his realistic relationship with Jake?

Kurtzman is also the executive producer on SNW, so I’m not sure what you’re on about. Kurtzman carried on the Roddenberry vision of filling leading Trek roles with a diverse cast, SNW, LOW, PRO, and DIS included.

all white males would be stupid or evil in the script

I have no idea where you got that from. Is Stamets evil? Is Sarek evil? Is SNW Pike evil? Is Chief Kyle evil? Well, yes, very evil. The only evil white male character I can think of is mirror Lorca.

This was the age of discovery in Trek where Star Fleet was full of brave heroes. He wrote his characters to be weak, angry, or overly emotional.

I feel like you’re idolizing “heroes” as demigods in real life, much like how Christopher Columbus was celebrated, when in reality he committed genocide and enslaved generations of Native Americans. Heroes in Earth’s age of discovery were also humans. They had emotions, they had feelings, they cried, they had PTSD, they were angry, and some of them were weak. Some of them had egos that cost their lives (see Robert Scott’s expedition to the South Pole.)

concrete_baby,

Personally I never shower.

concrete_baby,

Are they going to explain why everyone is suddenly singing and dancing (like some kind of subspace interference that causes the crew to break into songs) or are they treating it as artistic license for this episode?

concrete_baby,

Can’t wait for Lower Decks to parody this episode.

concrete_baby,

Hmm… Hope those strange energies make Spock sing better. As I recall he can’t sing in tune.

concrete_baby,

The food synthesizers of the 23rd century are simply no match for the 24th century replicators for providing Federation citizens a nutritious diet. That’ll explain why Boimler is so tall compared to 23rd century people.

concrete_baby,

What does it smell like?

concrete_baby,

concrete_baby,

Missed the opportunity to name it Fedirect

Spock in SNW brings his portrayal in The Cage in alignment with the rest of TOS. In that episode, he smiles and has a more relaxed demeanor. If you watch TOS again, Leonard Nimoy plays Spock as oblivious to human emotional expression without being robotic. I actually find Ethan Peck’s portrayal to be more rigid than Nimoy’s. The Peck Spock tends to either suppress his emotion to the degree that he can appear monotonous and stiff, or fail to suppress emotions and experience outbursts. Around 10 years later, the Spock in TOS finds a balance and seems to have found a balance between emotional expression (including sarcasm and low-key passive aggressiveness against Dr. McCoy) and logic. That’s good character development imo

Edit: Not to mention Spock’s final words in the 2009 movie where he tells his alternate self not to think too hard about logic and do what feels right. That’s Spock’s arc ends and resolves his internal conflict that lasted over decades.

I thought it’s the fat one
