Those of you (most of you) who haven't been watching the new Star Trek series, Star Trek Discovery, are missing out on a entirely new level of political correctness. The show features a black female protagonist named Michael; her boyfriend, a Klingon disguised as a Muslim-Arab security officer; an obese female cadet who is a genius in all areas of science; and a gay couple, one of whom is black and possibly also hispanic.
But that isn't enough for SJWs. They actually worry that the black gay character, who is also hispanic, is not visibly hispanic.

ST jumped the shark with the reboot. The first movie was ok...second was tolerable.Refuse to watch any more of the reboot movies. Have not seen one minute of the cbs sjw st nor will I. I remember pining for Star Trek to return back when all we had was the original series and an animated series. I was excited when they started making movies with the original cast. I also enjoyed The Next Generation series. I also saw the first reboot movie. At this point, I've had enough Star Trek in my life. I have no interest in the new PC monstrosity.

Saw William Shatner on some NBC show (via Roku) with Henry Winkler, George Foreman and Terry Bradshaw. It was called Better Late Than Never. They were sightseeing through Germany. Apparently other episodes have them traveling to the Spain, Italy, Sweden, the Far East, etc.. Shatner really is a douche but the show was actually kind of fun. Can’t believe that S.O.B. is 86 years old.

Can't remember his name but after last week's reveal, he definitely needs to stay away from tribbles!

I loved Quark and it should have had a longer run.
