This part where he's showing how severe it'll get if they don't change anything is very global warming

Force of Nature is the most realistic global warming episode in all TV, because they discover the problem, discover how screwed they are, pretend to make changes for a few years and then just forget about it.

Man, Harry Mudd wasn't kidding in Discovery about Starfleet ships having way too many ways to blow them up. I'm watching classic, perhaps one of the greatest episodes of TOS "The Alternative Factor", and Lazarus just pulled what appeared to be an AC Delco Maxifuse from a corridor wall panel and switched another and all of the sudden Main Engineering caught on fire.

Kirk and the boys would, on the bridge, in front of everyone, including the female officer in question, loudly discuss why you can't promote women because they'll just find a man to settle down with and leave the service anyway.

People really don't get how much society changed in the last 60-odd years. You think all that poo poo in Mad Men was exaggerated for effect?

McSpanky posted:People really don't get how much society changed in the last 60-odd years. You think all that poo poo in Mad Men was exaggerated for effect? Seriously. People thought Roddenberry was loving insane for having a woman as the XO in the first pilot (admittedly, he only did so, and then cast her as Nurse Chapel, because he was loving her, but still). Edit: Put another way, it literally wasn't until something like 1996 that a majority of the population--and it was a razor-slim majority--believed interracial marriage should be legal.

On top of that, Martin Luther King Jr. had to personally convince Nichelle Nichols not to quit the show because of how big of a role model she had become to African American children. She was one of the first African American characters on TV playing a character that was equal to her peers.

This gets heavily debated every time it comes up, basically all we know is that he spoke to her once, though I'm not comfortable calling her a liar and I totally believe that he did tell her that.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Again, having female officers at all, let alone on the main bridge of the ship was still far and above most other shows at that time. Ehhh, sort of. It was far and above actual reality of that time, which was the point. Probably the most comparable contemporary show to TOS in a lot of ways is Raumpatrouille, which also has female officers on the ship, but as with TOS it’s meant to convey that this is The Future more so than seriously holding what we would consider modern opinions about women.

Nichols' version of this story has varied wildly over the years (a Star Trek star embellishes the truth, who could have thunk it). The truth is that they met briefly at a event (I think it was at what is now Johnson Space Center). Nichols' own statements from the time don't match up with what she says now (she never seriously considered leaving the show until about halfway through the second season, but this encounter with King would have happened during the first). It's a charming tale but it's very much a tall tale.
