Comment on Interview: Tawny Newsome On Finding The Sweet Spot For Her Star Trek Workplace Comedy
reddig33@lemmy.world 5 days agoDon’t care. Like star trek, but this sounds like an awful idea and a flop that will just dilute the brand even further. The live version of her character and Quaid’s was great. I wish they would land back on SNW or something.
do you only claim “the brand is diluted” when Black women get involved or do you do that for every mediocre project?
unless you’re Stamets and you already saw all the future Trek projects I don’t understand how you’d know whether they’re good or not.

You say “dilute,” I say “diversify”. Star Trek has always had a place for comedy. That doesn’t mean anything goes, and I get being trepidatious after the trash fire that was S31, but I think there’s good reason for optimism in this case. If Lower Decks and interviews like this are anything to go by, it looks like Newsome knows that any comedy needs to jibe with the overall Trek ethos.
