I've never bothered with Enterprise because I irrationally hate Scott Bakula and how white bread he is.

skasion posted:Also, lmbo at Vger choosing to remake Ilia as a dumbass Mr Data version of herself but wearing a raincoat and platform heels The "raincoat" is interesting. When she appears in the sonic shower (yeah, I went years thinking it was a pointless disco cabinet) Kirk presses a button and the raincoat, presumably a dressing gown type thing, just appears on her. Now... what exactly was the deal there? Is there technology in starfleet to dress you? So, at least you can't blame V'ger for that. As for the heels... yeah... I dunno. Why she had to appear naked in the shower in the first place is kind of odd. V'ger has absorbed so many people and ships, but didn't get that clothes were a thing? And that people don't routinely hang out in showers?

Given Roddenberry, I would guess he wanted her to be adamically nude but couldn't think of a way to sell the studio on it, so just put her in the sexiest clothes he could think of.

One of my students was talking about Trek before class the other day. I tipped my hand a bit to say that I also enjoy a bit o' the ol' Trek. I said that I'm working on ENT now and he told me, "don't waste your time." But then he thought about it and said, "well, It's alright I guess. It's better than Voyager."

One could probably look at rating of shows based on some sort of racial demographics and find the top shows that had the average whitest share of audience.

FlamingLiberal posted:Seinfeld is pretty drat white I was mostly thinking WASP shows. Seinfeld is the most Jewy show ever. And the Nanny. I would say Curb Your Enthusiam but that's also made by Larry David so I gotta lump it in with Seinfeld. Give other Hebrews a chance.

I love Arrested Development, but the show is literally about a wealthy family who profited off the Iraq War, lost their wealth, made a deal with the prosecution, and got everything back. That's white as hell.

Also I don't care about how white the cast of a show was. What makes a show "white" is who's watching it. If only white people (or a massively disproportionate amount) are watching a thing there must be something more deeply "white" about the show than just its cast.
