Comment on I love how SNW responded to this sexism by surrounding Pike with women

  For real. Una, Ortegas, Uhura, La’an… All fucking incredible. Honestly even in Discovery that sort of continues. His security officer originally wasn’t La’An, it was a Barzan. She proved her own on multiple occasions. The breathing apparatus is an obvious weakness but still manages to fucking own it.

  Pike did not make any fucking missteps in choosing his crew. Well, with the exception of that idiot who took over for Spock in S2E1, got way too arrogant, and proved that blue shirts are just as susceptible to red shirts when it comes to being fuckin annihilated.

    And Chapel. I know she’s not a bridge officer but still, a great character. Casting and writing is on point.

      She's a great character but I only liked Chapel until she did Spock wrong in the musical episode. He pretty much (spoiler) ### left his fiancee for her (end spoiler) then she basically spaces him a few episodes later.

        It’s awkward writing a relationship you know can’t work out. Like, do you let it go on, letting the audience get attracted even though you (and they) know you have to pull the plug? Or finish it quick and dirty? Not a laudable position to be in, making that decision.

      Man… I always forget one thing and that one thing ends up being embarrassing as hell. Yes. Chapel. Of COURSE Chapel. I’m such a fucking moron.
