gregorum,

Andrew Robinson himself has said in many interviews that he played the character as “Omnisexual,” and initially attracted to Bashir. In fact, he was originally written that way until Rick Berman put an end to it out of nothing more than homophobia, but Robinson continued to play him that way regardless.

gregorum,

I love it when he goes topless, and that episode in his undies was pretty nice. Trinneer was such a hottie, although things got weird on Stargate Atlantis.

He’s a classically-trained Shakespearean actor, trained with the Royal Shakespeare Company. You should check him out on his The Twilight Zone episodes. They’re about the hammiest, scene-chewiest things you can imagine. 

gregorum,

“Tom Sawyer?”

“No, YYZ. How do you even confuse those two?”

lol, I’m a weird relative. I’m the crazy uncle showing up after 16 years away who’s gonna freak a bunch of nieces, nephews, and step-siblings out. And you’re damned right I’ll be drunk, stoned, and by badass, gay, NYC self with my uptight Florida family.

Let the good times roll!

Edit: I was upstaged by my brother’s in-laws from china who don’t speak a word of English. How do ya like that? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Whatever. My brother and his wife were there to translate. They were delightful, and everyone had a wonderful time!

gregorum,

Hey! Bioneural gel packs make the Voyager smart and not at all silently screaming in existential terror!

It’s a little little hit or miss. I really liked some of it, but some of the early stuff wasn’t so great.

gregorum,

I actually rather like it. I think it’s made good progress past its first season.

Drugs? I’m betting it was because of drugs. I’m basing this guess on a lot of experience.

Fork that!

Most trek shows were on primetime network television. Once they went to streaming, the swearing came back. 

Although, even during the primetime network era, we got plenty of alien swearwords, mostly in Klingon. One or two in Romulan.

True, however, we did get Data blurting out, “Oh, shit!” when Troi crashed the Enterprise saucer section into Veridian III in Star Trek: Generations.

gregorum,

I also miss professionals exploring space, solving problems with science and diplomacy, engaged in intriguing stories that explored the complex moral and ethical issues of the day instead of just blowing shit up all the time and with some superficial lip-service pandering to certain social issues just to appease fans but without much more lasting presence than mere tokenism and self back-patting for the effort.

gregorum,

Hugh Laurie deserved an Emmy for that alone. 

gregorum,

SNW is getting better with its sense of humor.

Now, PIC… apparently, the 25th century is the century of the potty mouth! It’s old man Picard and old man Riker dropping f-bombs left and right. Even old lady Seven getting in on the fun.

DSC: you want trans people to be seen in Trek? How about we make the only trans character a fucking ghost so they’re only visible to the only enby person in the galaxy, further isolating them both! How’s that for ‘being seen’? And, of course, because they’re both LGBTQ characters, they have to be in a tortured relationship. Sigh…

The queer characters in that show were written as queer first and people second, resulting in them just coming off as token caricatures rather than solid characters that feel like real people.

Won’t someone think of the billion-dollar megacorps‽ They may lose a few bucks saving kidnapped children on the off-chance some fakers pretend to be cops! GASP!

You’re acting as if this is some sort of widespread form of criminal activity and that it’s not already a crime to impersonate a cop or to commit wire fraud while committing a kidnapping. Because who gives a shit about any of that when a few bucks could be made?

gregorum,

So much for “open”

gregorum,

I made a shortcut. Why not‽

gregorum,

It was funny when that happened in an episode of VOY when Janeway ordered a coffee, and then the mug materialized a few seconds later because the replicators were malfunctioning.

Picture It! This post on the FrontPage!

gregorum,

I remember that, in one of the many Trek documentaries I’ve watched, this was some sort of misguided 1980s attempt by Gene Rodenberry to be gender-neutral when it came to the objectification of bodies in Trek. Interesting how everyone thought it was awkward once the roles were reversed.

Too bad they didn’t learn, “perhaps we should just stop doing this,” and went back to, “let’s just go back to doing this only to women.” Then we careened into the 90s space babe era.
