    Left-wing political propaganda coming from Hollywood... it wouldn't be a first.

    But now? WTF. STD has pissed off a huge portion of the fanbase..
    Has it? We know , for example that Bellus 88 hasn't seen it, yet he has commented.

    Was it a perfect series of serialized dramas. Nope. Did the creators make tittilating shows on purpose? Of course, but why be a prude?

    If you are a sports fan, sometimes you shout at the outrageous actions by coaches and players but still support the team for decades.
    The difference is TV makes money and continues its run based on ratings. Continuing to watch it and pay for the service is supporting them so it will continue. I figure if this is so painful to watch then why support the producers for their creative decisions? Plus, the whole idea of turning ST into a cash crop for a new streaming service is a whole other issue of moral outrage on its own. I don't know if I'm a prude, but definitely not a masochist. If it's torture why not just switch to something more enjoyable? There are plenty of better TV shows on right now than this one. TV has actually surpassed film in scope and depth over the past six years and plenty of other sci-fis with similar themes. Star Trek though just has not been what it once was for a long time.

    The kind of 'change' Marty Whitehouse wanted where anything that didn't fit with her narrow-minded views was deemed evil.

    Hardly. Just as many extreme liberals may choose to watch STD since I loathe it so much.


    I may do a whole topic on banned films now.

    So its more like the old Soviet jamming of Western channels or the Saudi banning of satellite dishes, lest they corrupt the ideological purity of individuals.

    It's a market economy, you vote with your dollar in this case, since I don't believe the production is getting government subsidies nor underwritten by George Soros.

    there is no love fest, sure, spock apparently is the first vulcan to join starfleet, so i guess they kept to themselves in that regard until later. but TOS is about nations and that one alien working together in peace, so no reason to single him out.

    and bones is just a bit of a throwback. afraid of transporters, believes in god, bit racist, has an alcohol problem. i love bones. favorite secondary character (spock and kirk are the real stars oc), Karl Urban as bones was the only part of jjverse i heartily enjoyed.
    Sorry no I remember the episode vividly, it is established peaceful re-writen canon by NG - and movie... My wife is Brazil and various other parts of South America for the USDA I got nothing better to to do than binge watch the TOS with my daughter and I pretty sure the happy little meeting Roddenberry inserted in the TN and Movies never happened in the TOS. Give me till Sunday I will either apologize or give you an episode and time stamp. Although one never knows with back edits and the the term canon and said reedits designed to make some order for fans want and ignore what they forgot or did not read etc.

    there is no need to apologize either way, but the vulcans are founding members, not subjects.

    im pretty sure if anyone in TOS produced such a cockup, it would be known in fandom. you are not, by any chance, mixing up some mirror universe stuff there, are you?

    I don't know, but I had Netflix anyway for Daredevil,the Expanse, OINTOB etc and movies, so really for me Star Trek comes at no net cost.

    CBS All Access is $5.99 with ads or $9.99 without. So it's cheaper than Netflix. Just that there's not much else content there.

    Well I have seen the latest episode, and, as predicted, time shows that the OP was so much hype.

    who woulda thunk. curious where they will go with their shroom drive, now that they have discovered a work around. that last scene with science guy and the ominous music indicates that it may not be a good idea to shoot yourself up with untested alien dna. i see some bad trips in that guys future.
