Stephen Miller Mocked For Begging William Shatner To Save 'Star Trek' From Wokeness

58. Thank you for providing her name!!!

I watched it last night, and knew I recognized the voice... but couldn't put a name to it. Drove me crazy for awhile (LOL).

One of the reasons Star Trek has always been popular is because it is inclusive. The hardest thing Roddenberry had to do was to keep Nichelle Nichols on board. Censors didn't really want a woman... and especially a black woman... for the role. He went to bat for her, and the "kiss" between her and Shatner was a real moment of TV, IMO. Roddenberry and Serling were two of the best writers for inclusiveness and equality, IMO. They took somewhat different paths in genre, but still... both wrote thought provoking screenplays.

I liked the first episode, and am looking forward to the rest of the show. I still wish they'd do one with Crusher's son, picking up where they left off in Picard. It seemed like such a perfect setup for a new series. (shrug) But I LOVED the Jem'hadar/Klingon "Number One"... she was perfect for that role! I think like any new series, it may take a few episodes for it to find it's standing, but I have hopes for it being an enjoyable (if not formulaic) series.

I say the following without apologies... in these insane times in the United States, Star Trek is like settling in with an old friend for a few hours. It's comforting; its uplifting in its hopefulness. And I think we all need a hit of that from time to time.
