Exactly. All we have to do is remember Captain Kirk's wise words: "We will not kill, TODAY!"
I see we also need Picard's wise words: "Part of having feelings is learning to integrate them into your life"
Happy Birthday Star Trek!
Maybe I was hoping for Vulcan jokes?
That would be illogical.
Star Trek is no hard sci-fi.
For sure. BTW - I've never seen someone type with a Scottish accent.
It's 2026, surely gay people on TV doing normal family stuff isn't controversial now?
Not at all, more that when sexuality is used as an instrument in hard sci fi, for example in Greg Bear's "Anvil of Stars" it's used in such a way that makes Discovery look tame. Otherwise it's simply irrelevant.
Buddy...when the original Star Trek ran that allowed Babylon 5 to be what it was (which was excellent, by the way).
I'll see your TOS and B5 and raise you Blake's 7 - which also created the long story arc to tackle ideas like a powerfully dystopian society.
Which ironically fit's into Star Trek Cannon so perfectly it should be a part of star trek, or star trek should be part of Blake's 7.
That probably depends on your definition of "woke"
It's what happens when you stop sleeping.
Check out "Orange is the New Black"
Isn't that the show with Captain Janeway in it?
The modern shows The only reason people think they are too woke is because their own ideas are in line with TOS and TNG, but Trek and much of society in general has now moved past them.
Most people don't read hard sci fi where sexuality is an also ran to much bigger ideas. Discovery made it about sexuality in an in your face way which kind of obliterated some of the really good sci-fi that was in it. SNW seems to have left that behind which is in line with what you're saying probably because it's boring and slightly annoying.
Enforcers of the law holding discriminatory views
Exactly. All we have to do is remember Captain Kirk's wise words: "We will not kill, TODAY!"
Being woke
Being trapped in a binary star system while telepathic beings project their requests for hydrogen so they too can escape isn't woke. It's interference with the brainwave modes required for sleep.
Being awake all the time is bad sometimes you need to be asleep so you don't go mad.
What do you think people opposed to changes in the 1960s sounded like?
Ugly bags of mostly water.
Yep, not hard at all, Just make a general ban on user tracking.
How about just banning advertising, it's a pointless waste of time and obsolete.
Even if you're not stupid enough to gamble because you know you have to lose
Obviously unless your a whale like Kerry Packer who is bigger than the casino and knows how to tip - however I digress.
I know there is charitable gaming however I've never understood, beyond organized crime, why all casinos profits aren't regulated into charitable causes and institutions to put people's desire for a non-lethal adrenaline rush to some good use.
I wonder if CRISPR provides an "undo" option?
Or a backup for that matter.
