Naw. It was originally written for Kirk and Uhura, but when the NBC executives found out they worried it would offend TV stations in the south. The idea of having Uhura and Spock kiss was brought up because Spock is half-vulcan (which NBC thought racists would find less offensive???), but Shatner insisted that they stick the original script. Eventually NBC ordered that two versions of the scene be shot - one with the kiss and one without. Shatner intentionally flubbed every single take of the non-kiss version to force the executives hands. It wasn’t the first interracial kiss on televion, but it was the first instance of a scripted kiss between a white man and a black woman.

The Star Trek universe’s first non-binary character
wow, not even the first crew members or first actors, they tried to claim it for the whole Star Trek universe. unbelievable.

That’s right, the entire species had evolved past having gender. That makes it even sadder/funnier that ST:D tried to claim it.

I don’t play STO anymore but I love that they added the Surak-class. Such a pretty ship!

i’m pretty sure it’s because they tried to make degrassi in space.

I’m not defending him, but let’s be honest with ourselves here. He was born nearly a decade before World War II. It’s amazing that he’s this progressive. Credit where credit is due.

Oooh, that’s a good angle. The Ferengi definitely get some unique looking ships.

It’s wholly owned and operated by Paramount Skydance. I’m sure they have to “pay” the parent company for tax reasons and stuff but why would that be an issue here? The content rights are all owned by the same company that owns Pluto TV.

Once Path of Exile 2 goes out of early access I highly recommend giving it a try. It’s unashamedly inspired by Diablo 2 and a lot of fun.

the runabouts are more like space RVs and the quadrant their open road

I really like the pre-Federation Vulkan ships. They’re so elegant looking.

You got a Sao Paulo? All I got was a shitty Valiant.

Depending on when it came out $250 wouldn’t even have been that expensive. I think the early discmans were about that price, albeit for a bundle that came with headphones and a car charger and stuff.

Resistance (to her acting skills) is futile.

Oh, wow, I used to watch the a-team whenever it would come on at work (overnight office job) but I never even noticed that it’s the same guy who plays Barclay! So he’s just a little bit crazy in all his roles.
- Comment on That one time when he made cheese and it broke the ship 3 weeks ago:
Yup! He was only familiar with TOS and assumed the Spock-type roll would go to Tuvok (not an unfair assumption to make).
- Comment on That one time when he made cheese and it broke the ship 3 weeks ago:
Ah yes, Captain Robert Picard.

I didn’t know that Ethan Phillips did that performance while being effectively blind and deaf. Impressive!

Hah, reminds me of the time Bender tried to become a cook on Futurama.
“There was nothing wrong with that food. The salt level was 10% less than a lethal dose.”

I can’t remember the exact scene or episode for the life of me, but she’s talking to some male member of the crew and asks to keep something a secret between them “because neelix gets jealous”. She felt the need to hide just because of how she figured he would react.
- Comment on That one time when he made cheese and it broke the ship 3 weeks ago:
I was trying tro relate to kablez’s context statement to be honest, though now I’m wishing I hadn’t so my position would be clearer. But her literal age really doesn’t matter; her “world experience” is what matters. Or her lack thereof rather. Neelix, at times, seem’s to be taking advantage of someone who is young and naive. Neelix absolutely does evolve past it and becomes quite good friends with Tom later on. The last scene of “Parturition” always makes me smile.
- Comment on That one time when he made cheese and it broke the ship 3 weeks ago:
Now imagine if Robert Picardo had gotten the Neelix role like he wanted and Ethan Phillips was cast as the Doctor.
- Comment on That one time when he made cheese and it broke the ship 3 weeks ago:
You know what, we can probably blame Rick Berman for this as well.
