  • Couldn’t agree more brother. The concept of Riker’s Beard is well known in TV - although it is hard to implement in the age of streaming. But I want new and untried.

    LD really broke the mold and is fantastic. DISCO’s issue is that it wasn’t different enough.

    I want Horror in the ST universe. I want James Bond in ST (Section 31?). I want How I Met Your Mother in ST. I want Law and Order in ST. I want MASH in ST. I want Saved By The Bell in ST(Academy?) I want The Hurt Locker in ST. I want The Notebook in ST. That’s how the franchise moves on, not retreading old ground.






  • I’m a similarly aged and gendered human.

    There is research out there somewhere that confirms the commenter’s memory. I can’t find it on a whim unfortunately, I’ll post if I can find it. From what I recall from the research (I’m sure I’m butchering it): In the 80s and 90s trans people were a lot more accepted. At some point when certain monied bigots saw the writing on the wall that they were losing the fight of gay and lesbian hate they started a campaign to vilify trans people.

    Yes there were always assholes and prejudice, but it’s only in the past 20 years that trans hate became a calling card of demagogues. It really was more accepted in the 90s.

    In no way do I want to minimize the awful way trans people are treated, regardless of age. I’m just trying to remember some research I read once.
