Old Star Trek rocked. Recent Star Trek is woke dreck.
Loved Lt. Uhura as a character. I thought it was cool that she was a beautiful Black Woman. She could kick ass and still be feminine.
The stupid storytellers of today think they are being so original by writing weakly drawn, women of color characters who defy physics and denigrate men. They have no idea what real female strength is.
I have to admit that I am not finding many reasons to hate "Strange New Worlds". I know most of the cast are liberal fucks in real life, but they really nailed the old Trek feeling in that show. The amount of woke shit interjected by the little faggots that have to insert modern political bullshit every 17 seconds due to a lack of writing talent is very minimal.
To be clear, I suggest "ahoy matey, yarrg" viewing of the show ... I do not recommending funding them ... it's certainly worth checking out if you like TOS. I suspect they had to release a show like 'Strange New Worlds' to subsidize the train wreck that is Discovery ... they went all in on that show and they don't have the balls to cancel it at this point. Fucking Stacey Abrams would probably eat them if they'd give that show the premature death it deserves.
I've heard the same from my friend who also recommends Strange New Worlds. I think they're finally playing it safe in favor of having actual viewership.
One of the organizers of the event came over to me and said, 'Ms. Nichols, I hate to bother you just as you’re sitting down to dinner, but there’s someone here who wants very much to meet you. And he said to tell you that he is your biggest fan,'" Nichols said. "I said, 'Oh, certainly,' I stood up and turned around and who comes walking over towards me from about 10 or 15 feet, smiling that rare smile of his, is Dr. Martin Luther King. I remember saying to myself, 'Whoever that fan is, whoever that Trekkie is, it’ll have to wait because I have to meet Dr. Martin Luther King.' And he walks up to me and says, 'Yes, Ms. Nichols, I am your greatest fan.' You know I can talk, but all my mouth could do was open and close, open and close; I was so stunned."
Dr. King revealed to Nichols that TOS was the only show that he and his wife, Coretta, allowed their little children to stay up and watch. Further, he told Nichols what the show meant to him personally and detailed the importance of her having created a character with "dignity and knowledge." Nichols took it all in and finally said, “Thank you so much, Dr. King. I’m really going to miss my co-stars.” Dr. King's smile, Nichols recalled, vanished from his face.
"He said, 'What are you talking about?'" the actress explained. "I told him. He said, 'You cannot,' and so help me, this man practically repeated verbatim what Gene said. He said, 'Don’t you see what this man is doing, who has written this? This is the future. He has established us as we should be seen. Three hundred years from now, we are here. We are marching. And this is the first step. When we see you, we see ourselves, and we see ourselves as intelligent and beautiful and proud.' He goes on and I’m looking at him and my knees are buckling. I said, 'I…, I…' And he said, 'You turn on your television and the news comes on and you see us marching and peaceful, you see the peaceful civil disobedience, and you see the dogs and see the fire hoses, and we all know they cannot destroy us because we are there in the 23rd century.'
Wow, such an interesting story. I watched Star Trek in reruns as a teen in the 70s. I had no idea it was so groundbreaking regarding race. Still my favorite version of Star Trek.

Watched the Picard drivel and swore off Star Trek as a whole. Interesting take on SNW.

She had an interview of what she thought about her role and Hollywood as a whole

Also had one of the first interracial kisses on TV
In the days when no one was confused about how to define a man or a woman
"Dangit jim, I'm not a biologist!
I am sad...
Can the Japanese navigator be next?
George Takei is Japanese. You’d think he would fear God but he relishes his lifestyle
