I don’t think this is a left/right thing.

“assuming, as many of us suspect, he knew something about what Louie was doing”

I still see a lot of gay drama here. What victim? Gay men get touched all the time in clubs, etc. He’s insulted that Takei tried it.

That’s not the defense. The defense is when you’re a grown-up and go back to another grown-up’s house for a drink (one you’ve met in a gay bar), they may make moves on you. Especially back then. And if George did indeed make moves (and Brunton’s story has changed slightly in a subsequent local story) — well, guy said…

Mary Chieffo (I just imdb-ed her and, er, discovered that her mom is Beth Grant) might very well be a good actress, but so far, L’Rell isn’t much more than unexpressive latex and a Count Chokula accent. That’s at least partially the writing’s fault — there’s no character there (Chieffo’s explanation, in a Trekmovie…

“I thought I was a friend and here I am later, just another piece of meat.”

I mostly skip through all scenes that don’t have Davis or Smits in them. Am I missing anything?

Yeah. One of the versions circulating is that he blocked them from leaving. The other is that they screamed and laughed and then he finished. The first is bad. They’re both bad. But if someone asks you if they can do something — and you say yes and they do, or you say no and they don’t — is it a crime? Should it be? I…

That’s not very American. Or Christian. Or human.

Typically awesome. And standing up for the downtrodden couldn’t be more American.

Again, where are you getting this from? Watch the actual interview.

It’s entirely about kissing. That’s it. Unless there’s something here beyond that BSS interview (which I watched), everybody here is projecting/assuming (assjecting?)

This is getting ridiculous.

Defend her from what? I’m pretty astonished by this. I watched that BSS episode — this simply wasn’t there. Unless we hear more from the girl, her family and her management —that this was an actual problem — we’re merely inventing things.

This is utter, dangerous nonsense. Changing a script to make a story better is on the same continuum as sexual assault and sexual harassment? You’re calling for them to be fired for this? Good grief.

I watched it. If that’s the entire basis for this accusation, then this is utter nonsense.

Part of my trouble is with Frain as Sarek — and I like to think it’s not just the case of a different actor in the role. If you knew nothing about the character and had never seen TOS, is there even a character there?

Yeah, I’m not troubled by the tech stuff at all because it still, somehow, feels very much like an earlier-than-TOS (yet still mostly future-ier than now) era.

But the show isn’t quite a show on its own merits — it’s relying on TOS props (figuratively) like Sarek, Mudd and (literally) tribbles.

TV-MA yet Lorca has pants on in bed (If I had to write a 750-word review, it would just say that).
