Although the comics, which are canonical, did establish Lando as being pansexual.

Called it. Leaving aside the fact that Greta Gerwig is a better creator than Lena Dunham by the factor of approximately infinity, the former also had 60+ years of social commentary and the developments of second- and third-wave feminism to draw from when crafting a story about Barbie. What the hell is there to say about Polly Pocket?

Worf taught Mok'bara classes on the Enterprise-D.

I am….cautiously optimistic. I’m assuming they’re pretending the sequels and TV series didn’t happen?

Of all the episodes we've had since the big resurrection, this is my current favorite by a wide margin.

Although we know Admiral April was her first captain, so unless one of them (and Spock would have likely still been at the Academy when Enterprise first launched) was part of his crew, they wouldn't necessarily have known either.

Ten years later, the end of "Meanwhile" still gets me. I guess I was worried about the quality after another resurrection. I shouldn't have been. I think they've got this.

After a bunch of Hot Takes about how the movie is anti-masculinity, I had to wonder if I somehow saw a different movie. While the narrative definitely opposed to toxic masculinity, it actually came across to me as exceedingly sympathetic to the insecurities that give rise to that kind of behavior.

Anyone else pretty sure that Hollywood is going to learn all of the wrong lessons from Barbie's success? You know, rather than a unique, cleverly written movie, just assume that people just want movies based on toys?

You know, when you have a character that was previously played by a very talented singer who is now played by a Tony-nominated performer, you kind of have to do a musical episode, don't you?

Voyager visited Los Angeles in 1996, which would have been either towards the end, or immediately after, the timeline established by TOS.

Well, Paramount+ threw me a curveball and dropped it early, I guess for SDCC. Enjoy, everyone.

Wherever Nichelle Nichols is now, I am sure she is incredibly proud of Celia Gooding.

Let's turn the discussion back to the episode at hand, please. We're all Trekkies, and we love talking about this stuff, but if the bulk of your post is comparing to a different series, it belongs here.

Also, the nasal suppressant thing is from as far back as the first season of Enterprise.

My book club read the source novel a year or two ago. It's probably not as clear from the trailer as it could be, but it's a heartfelt queer romance about two Latino boys in Texas in the 80s. And it looks like they nailed it.

"We will take you to the Council, G'Kar. And some day when all this is over, perhaps you will find it in your heart to forgive me." "Perhaps...but not today." --- "You want my help for the sake of my people. I will give it...for the sake of my own. If I remove the monster from your throne, you will remove the monster from my world: Leave Narn. Set my world free. Promise me this, and I will do as you ask." Sometimes I forget just how damned good of an actor Andreas Katsulas was. This animated movie, with the replacement voices, no matter how good it is or isn't, no one is going to measure up to him.

He didn't, though. He only fully got onboard when La'an told him that in her universe, his brother was alive.

All of the the released episodes are here. They had another three in various stages of production before CBS clamped down, and pieces of one of them were put on YouTube, but I'm unsure if you can still find them. "World Enough and Time" is the one that was Hugo nominated. I also do recommend "Blood and Fire." The episode ends on a downbeat note, but it makes the story more personal than its original TNG incarnation, as it makes one half of the gay couple Kirk's nephew Peter.

For my money, the best of the fan series was Star Trek: New Voyages and its successor Phase II. They had a number TOS people, including George Takei, Walter Koenig, and Grace Lee Whitney appear in front of the camera and filmed episodes written by DC Fontana and David Gerrold (an adaptation of his aborted TNG script "Blood and Fire" which would have featured Trek's first openly queer characters) and a third episode even got nominated against Battlestar Galactica, Torchwood, and Doctor Who for a Hugo Award. The production values were astonishingly high. Enterprise even ended up borrowing some of their props for the Defiant in "In A Mirror, Darkly" and turned around and gifted them some of their props, including the pencil sketches of the previous Enterprises that were in Archer's ready room. Sadly, this all got squashed by CBS after a bunch of idiots decided to make a fan film that they could profit off of.

No description yet.

This is more likely going to be based on/inspired by Jonathan Hickman's sweeping Fantastic Four story from the 2010s instead of Jim Shooter's original 80s Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars.
