I grew up in a very rural mountain town in NY state and every year we’d have a “Diversity Week” in like April and it was when students could opt to go to workshops instead of classes for a week and you’d learn about GLBT stuff or black history or civil rights or whatever, and the Astronomy teacher would show different classic Star Trek episodes, like the suicide booth computer war episode or the black & white cookie people, and I was like “oh Star Trek is cool and super progressive!” and then met real trekkies as an adult and was like... “what the gently caress”

I enjoy James Lindsay thinking he's Somebody instead of the guy you sometimes see mockingly quote tweeted into your timeline because of how loving stupid all of his takes are.

What about the one where Riker falls in love with a mono-gendered alien? Apparently Frakes wanted them to be played by a dude instead to really drive the point home.

the writers wanted a dude, the entire cast (including frakes) wanted a dude, even the studio/producers/etc. wanted a dude. the networks said they wouldn't air the episode if it was a dude

In other news you might have seen that Tommy Robinson Stephen Yaxley Lennon legged it to Spain over an arson attack on his home and not as some may suspect because he's in a lot of trouble in the UK. Except that I guess someone asked the local police about it and they where like "Huh???"

Lindsay Ellis is one of the very few Internet critics who actually understands what death of the author means and applies it correctly.
