What a bunch of crybabies. WTF is wrong with these people? It's science FICTION, for pete's sake. It can be whatever the writers decide it should be. I guess the lessons of the Original Series fly right past their heads (by that mean the stories, the casting was not as diverse as it could be, but more diverse than every other show at the time). Roddenberry was somewhat of a progressive, too. I guess they miss that factoid as well.

In any case, why don't they write and produce their own shows? See how far they get with that.

I'd love to know where their crying game DK504 May 2017 #1
