Dear Paramount: Doctor Twink and his boyfriend Fashion Lizard is a spinoff I would 100% watch every week.
Thank you.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Haha why do you guys call him Doctor Twink? The man was a horn dog, chasing tail on the daily.
It’s ok - he’s just a plain… simple… tailor.
The hypothetical discussions will be, without irony, absolutely riveting.
Out of all the shows I've seen over the decades, out of all the characters I've seen, Garek is probably my absolute favorite. When top tier writing meets top tier acting. Beautiful.
You should read the novel that the actor wrote. It's the back story of the character, and the first of hundreds of start trek books I've been reading.
And he narrates the audiobook himself!
Oooh that's a nice plus

And DS9 is the conservative one with all the religion and the baseball and the war crimes and stuff.
TNG was run by a Frenchman who thought allowing bronze age species to believe in God was a barbaric act and went to bat as a human rights lawyer for an android who in turn let his first child pick their gender at will. All that while his polyamorous first officer was busy arguing against conversion therapy when pushed upon his trans nonbinary partner.
Uh... He wasn't against allowing anyone to believe in a god of gods. He only took issue with people worshipping "The Picard" and Ardra scamming.
Let's be real. Picard probably worships the koala.
Nah. There is a whole omnipotent being with a massive crush on him and Picard treats him like a nuisance he deals with at regular intervals. First thing he did when Q got briefly depowered was put him in the brig.
Picard knows the Koala is real but he has zero respect for cosmic marsupials in general.
He knew Ardra was a phony, but still passed up the opportunity.
That takes some restraint and willpower, as opposed to Will-power, cause we all know Riker would.
It doesn't take any willpower when you're this man-
While I don't doubt he (or Picard) could have bagged Cindy Crawford, you can tell they weren't in the same room based on lighting and shadows.

Not gonna lie, as a straight white man, I would watch a show called " Doctor Twink with his boyfriend fashion Lizard".
I'm thrilled they are making a series about me.
They forgot Libertarian Alien who's there for comedic relief. His kooky libertarian plans reliably blow up in his face like Wile E. Coyote.
Quite woke of them to give representation to a conservative too. We wouldn't want to ignore any minorities. Not unless they shrink into nothingness. I hope.
Conservatism ... in DS9 they gave them an entire planet called Ferenginar.
I'm really loving the episodes with Brunt, Liquidator of the Ferengi Commerce Authority ..... if any being in the galaxy embodies taxation, it's Brunt. I love him because I absolutely hate him, a truly genius piece of character creation.
And now the Himbo is their king
Jeffrey Combs is the most underrated actor of the 90s.
Combs also said of Brunt, "He was the IRS guy from hell. He's the guy who just kept coming back to make your life miserable, audit after audit after audit. I can imagine that that would be pretty awful. He also typified to me the inflexibility of someone who thinks their way is the right way."
... Star Trek is and has always been woke. It's like the core feature of Star Trek
ToS had the first interracial kiss shown on television. And then there was this entire episode.
It wasn't the 1st interracial kiss on TV. By some metrics it was the 1st in the US but other countries had earlier kisses.

I think it's most notable for the conservative American censorship.
Being the first on American television was a significant achievement considering how they deal with censorship there. Americans have always been a bit stunted when it comes to accepting diversity.
Wokeness is not the issue with disco, et al. It's terrible writing, poor science even for soft sci fi, and too many cringey moments.
I get that some people love it. But the emotional resolution porn is, to me, just icky.
This sums Dico up perfectly for me. I consider myself "woke", I share the values they are advocating in Disco very much. But it's just. So. Shoved. Into. It.
It's not subtle, it's not something coming naturally to the story in most cases. It's just badly writen into a already badly written overall show.
And that, to be honest, is a shame.
I disagree that it's because of ''shoved'' or overt politics. It's just God awful writing and a terrible idea for a ST show. They made it a chronological story about one protagonist. There's consistent bridge crew we don't even know their names, their character or story, or even get to hear them talk besides ''there's a [thing] captain!'' Type of shit.
No ensemble stories, no stand alone stories, and very close to no science fiction at all. It's all just trying to give you high stakes action scenes with close to nothing else happening.

The first interracial kiss on TV was between Kirk and Uhura in 1968. Star Trek is and always has been set in a time when humans have achieved a post-scarcity leftist utopian. Shit's been this way since way before your uncle started calling everything he doesn't like "woke" which was only like 4 years ago for the record.
Know what was really woke? Keeping watch for police brutality and unjust police tactics. For real. I'm quoting this article lol.
