What's really sad is I tried to get out of my mind by saying "screw it, I'm done with Star Trek" and ignore the whole thing because I stopped caring about Michael Burnham and whatever she does two years ago. But I can't stop hearing about how they continue to destroy classic characters and continue to crap all over Gene Roddenberry's vision for Star Trek, so its infuriating. For example, they just released a "Short Trek" segment on the internet that had "Spock" and "Number One" sharing a hearty belly laugh in a turbolift, even though BOTH characters were specifically written by Roddenberry to be emotionless and stoic. It would be akin to depicting a Muslim and a vegan stuffing themselves at a Pig Roast BBQ.
>> I read that in this show, Batwoman was kicked out of the military for being a dyke. <<
Ugh. That's also the total antithesis of the character, when you keep in mind she was created in the 1950s specifically to be a love interest for Batman, and envisioned as a wealthy and classy Gotham socialite (even the 2003 version that made her the daughter of a powerful gang leader maintained that aspect!) She was specifically said to be a very charming and luscious redhead that utilized weapons and tools disguised as stereotypical feminine accoutrements such as lipstick, cosmetic compacts, charm bracelets, hair nets, etc.
In short, redesigning her backstory as a man-hating butch lezbo who got kicked out of the military for being a dyke is akin to depicting Calvin Coolidge as an outspoken white supremacist leading the Alabama Democratic Party by evoking the image of the Lost Cause.
Worse, the character was slowly phased out and became obscure to audiences after 1964 (I was not aware of her until 2003), so Batgirl pretty much replaced her as the "female sidekick to Batman" that most audiences are familiar with. That means this generation will see the lezbo SJW fascist as who they associate with as "Batwoman".
I watched it last night (New Short Treks). I like the Short Treks, the Tribble one was much better than this one though, this one was probably the weakest entry.
They were trapped in the turbolift. I’d rather be trapped alone so at least I could go pee, and no awkward conversation (till they come in and notice the pee anyway).
Anyway, they laughed a little (at something weird that wasn’t funny). It wasn’t a big deal (especially in her case, she’s a human woman with ONE canon appearance, who says she can never laugh?).
I liked seeing the “Number One” character, such a missed opportunity from the stupid reboot movies. I’ll say again a Pike/Number One/Young Spock prequel series would have been better than that let alone this Discovery crap.
I hate this turd they have play Spock, honestly he’s worse than Zach Queetro, he has no gravitas whatsoever.
One thing though he says to her “Have you ever considered that the prime directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical and perhaps morally indefensible?”.”
She said no and seemed annoyed, but I sure have. In fact, it’s total BS and arbitrarily applied at that and I hate how no one in the fascist federation is allowed to question it.’
People gonna be MAD if “Picard” sucks.
