Agreed on all counts. I think one big mistake entertainment in general is making is this idea that just because we loved something back when, it should be brought back. I get the wave of why nostalgia is popular (mostly cos people just don’t want to deal with current times, because seriously, none of us do). That…

I stopped watching because I absolutely could not loathe Chloe (Lauren German) more. I don’t know if it’s the way she’s written or if it’s the actress, but I just can’t stand her. I tried really hard, but I just couldn’t deal with her.

Don’t insult Merkel, she’s one of the few world leaders at the moment who isn’t fond of fascists.

Actually I liked The Wizard. But I generally like Fred Savage and adore Little Monsters.

Child abuse, precious.

Even if that is true? NOT OKAY TO SAY TO CHILDREN. For all I care, this student could have set off 12 stink bombs in the teacher’s lounge, still NOT OKAY.

‘But her emails.....’

He seems to think he is on a toilet all the time.

Nope - luckily, just made an idiot of myself on here. Cheers, mate!

Yes - my apologies, I am currently writing a bid to BBC and have been writing it all day, not a good excuse but do forgive me. Thank you for the correction, I did mean ITV.

I don’t disagree with what you’ve written here, but read my comment: I said the first black woman in the future. As in futuristic science fiction or fantasy television or film that had a black woman there.

Fans are great - they’re openminded, really interesting to talk to, happy to engage in different ideas even if they don’t agree... they’re intelligent and happy to discuss problematic representations and explore a variety of theologies and philosophies, I love fans.

As others have said here, the fact that you’re reading these racial stereotypes in the representations says a lot more about you and your view of racism than it does about the show. Example: Ferengis were specifically compared to as ‘Yankee Traders’ - representing everything wrong with greedy capitalism. Nothing to do…

This has actually always been one of my struggles with Trek - a show that claims that humans can move beyond their base monstrosities and become something better - I am just a bit too jaded to believe that is possible.

She must be new.

Yeah - I don’t dislike Moss, I’m sure she’s fine - but she’s certainly not done anything to make me think she was worthy of the purple prose of this really badly written article.

I would have gone just to walk out.

I had decided as a kid that Diane was just the name of his recorder. Any real reveal of her will just not work for me if I’m honest.

I’m not going to see it - not because of this specifically, but cos 1) The last POTC were really, really dreadful and I just don’t see any point in trying to watch it. 2) Johnny Depp has turned into a ridiculous caricature of himself and the more I see of him the more I think he’s an absolute douche. I haven’t enjoyed…
