I mean, I kind of figured that if anything, maybe Sulu was bi all along, but only went for the lady side of things in the OG timeline, while he found a guy in the kelvin verse that had him go for the other side of things there. Still Sulu, just different experiences leading to different pursuits.

Haha that sounds like a fun setting. So Wonder Woman can do what Captain America did and have their love interest be the half century younger relative of their love interest from a previous movie.

Not quite, Patty Jenkins is apparently fighting hard with DC executives to make Barbara (Cheetah before she gets cursed and turns into a supervillain) Diana's love interest in this movie, which Jenkins and Gadot want but DC execs are horrified at.

It could have been interesting if humanity had gone out to the stars truly thinking that aliens were enlightened and advanced compared to us. The Enterprise crew keeps putting a huge amount of trust and respect in alien perspectives... and then it turns out they're just as bigoted, big-headed, and bellicose as humans ever were, just they have warp engines.

The sad thing about Dear Doctor is that it’s still one of the best episodes of the season just because it’s about something and there’s enough in the episode that you can actually spend more than a minute or two thinking about it. Of course if you do you’ll probably conclude it’s morally abhorrent, but with Ent you have to take what you can get.

This would have been interesting. There's no shortage of people out there that seem to seriously entertain that aliens must be more ~advanced~ and hippie dippie instead "the universe is a brutal place, where death stalks you at every turn, and we loving won and have our glorious theocratic star empire. Now get conquered or get exterminated. Although we'll probably exterminate your species after we figure out that you make lovely slaves." is just as possible.

No, that's a thing that Roddenberry invented and liked to say at conventions (that Ellison had Scotty dealing drugs in the past). In fact, Scotty was literally never in a single one of Ellison's drafts. One of the many reasons Ellison loving hated Roddenberry.

It's not Scotty, but there was a character, an officer named Beckwith, who had "Jewels of Sound", illegal "dream narcotics", that he would hook aliens on in exchange for their treasures. In Ellison's script, It's Beckwith's going back in time that changes history. Here's Ellison's draft.
