The diversity thing is kind of like modern Marvel comics… In the old days Marvel was diverse through the characters and personalities they had, rather than the characters being defined BY their perceived “diversity”.
For example Uhura and Storm are strong, intelligent women who happen to be of African descent, whereas nowadays you have someone like Cho Hulk, who stopped being his own character to become “Asian Hulk”.
“Diversity” for the sake of it is weak, and pales in comparison to diverse characters and stories.
Back in the day, it was normal for a diverse cast… because it was “normal”. People were a character first, then race/sex/whatever second.
However, in today’s society, even though it is NORMAL for the ST cast to be diverse, you cannot think that this is not a SJW move to please everyone, especially since nowadays a character is a race/sex/identifies as a sexual bi-fluid first, then a character with almost no development second. This idea comes from experience with recent comics, video games and everything related to the field.
We can’t judge by the trailer and it’s all probably BS anyways… but I’m still expecting one of the main characters to be pansexual or something and a whole episode will be based on that.
After reading more random nerd complaints… people basically saying it doesn’t feel like “old” ST… more like JJA’s ST. I believe the series is progressing… After all there’s people out there who probably raged at the jump between ST and TNG and how it didn’t resemble ST at all. To me it kinda looks like Mass Effect…
I’ll check it out, love me some Star Trek and I sat through the worst of Voyager (Love me some Voyager) so I think I can probably handle this show to should end up not being great.
I’ll also watch just about anything with Michelle Yeoh in it to.
The new series takes place in a Gap in Star Trek History, and making this series a prequel to the original TOS so it will not get confusion with the new movie timeline.
I am more and more certain the new Trek movies aren’t even made for Trekkies, they are made for people who don’t watch Star Trek.
And this series will be less about exploration and more about the Federation/Kligon War
Or at least that how its appears from the teasers, promotional materials and the trailer
Sisko was the damned man. DS9 took a few seasons to get it’s footing but once it did the show was peerless. Going from DS9 to Voyager was like going from Second Impact Sean to Third Strike Sean.
You know how good a DS9 Episode is by how much hair Benjamin Lafayette Sisko has.
Bad Episode
Good Episode
Also with the good episodes is where Sisko stop actually trying to be a good guy, breaks intergalactic law, does horrific things, mostly war crimes all for the sake of the Federation and for Bajor.
Which is bass as as Sisko stops being a tool and starts becoming his own man.
Honestly with how the first few episodes went, Sisko should of lost command and got reassigned, maybe even rank lost for interfering with the local religion of Bajor.
Making Sisko the Space Pope was a stupid idea, and in the later seasons it was made to a side note till the last episode where Sisko has a final show down with Gul Dukat
There is also this, one of the most interesting DS9 episodes to date
@Darksakul tng never visually made fun of black people. that era was the most balanced in terms of looks and acting for klingons. they had alot of black actors but nothing about them made fun of black people.
Enterprise had one of the dumbest deaths in Trek history. If they wanted to kill Trip, they could wrote something better than that. That shit was weak as fuck.
