Yeah, there's a lot of little touches in there, like the "Delta Flyer 3" on the car that really elevate it beyond the standard slapdash meme. I prefer to post my own OC, but when I saw this one, I knew it had to be shared.
That's not how that movie was marketed though; it was marketed with a bunch of bad CGI and half-assed adlib because Paul Feig couldn't write an actually funny script even if he had Mel Brooks and Mike Judge puppeting him like marionette.
What you're talking about is the same thing I was talking about, the very conception of the idea. Star Trek from the very beginning in 1966 has been about pushing the boundaries of diversity on television.
Do you have an example of something where that is happening?
You're commenting this on a Star Trek discussion forum. A show that was founded on the idea that diversity is a strength. Gene Roddenberry specifically cast women in positions of authority, and non-white actors to be the crew of the Enterprise because he wanted to portray a future where humanity had moved beyond such petty bigotries.
A franchise which has persisted for 57 years, and is recognized the world over, founded on the "diversity first" approach you're lamenting.
Your argument is that it's noble to invade your friends' and co-workers' privacy so you can attempt to further your career goals?
And that's hardly noble.
he was trying to make them as realistic as possible for a genuinely noble reason.
He wanted a leg up to advance his career....
I'm sure that even in 1990, they knew that making it explicit that Barclay was having sex with representations of the crew would have been a step to far, but in the cold open of "Hollow Pursuits", after he beats up Geordi and Riker, Barclay is interrupted just as he's about to kiss Troi, and it's pretty clear where the simulation is going to go from there.
We’ve also seen Mariner do it on the Cerritos.
That was Boimler. Mariner just appropriated his program for her own purposes. She even initially objects to the fact that he based the characters off the logs of the crew.
Awesome, I’m glad you enjoyed Lower Decks.
One thing to note about Defiant is that it is a spinoff of Star Trek; the story picks-up after the first Star Trek arc.
To be fair, he was being controlled by an angry space fart that fed on negative emotions. Chekov also claimed the Klingons killed a brother he never had.
