Just as a nerdy aside to Sulu issue, I'm glad at least one of the writing staff (Pegg) gets and agrees with what I've said before in a conversation on the board, regarding what impact a temporal incursion could have on the timeline (a conversation that lead to the creation of the Schrödinger's head meme):
Anyone else find Simon Pegg hotter the more nerdier he gets? As in, it's not just me who reads what he says and then realizes the room is getting awfully warm?Just as a nerdy aside to Sulu issue, I'm glad at least one of the writing staff (Pegg) gets and agrees with what I've said before in a conversation on the board, regarding what impact a temporal incursion could have on the timeline (a conversation that lead to the creation of the Schrödinger's head meme):
Yay, Simon Pegg!
Thank you. I posted this same general response on the Trek Core Facebook page, they are awesome by the way, and while most people agreed, I got this one response from someone that boiled down to "gays wanting tolerance makes them intolerant."
Definitely.
Rand's relationship with the junior crew appeared to be very different to the deference she showed to the senior command crew, although as a non com she was technically subordinate to both. I would certainly have liked to see more of the Sulu / Rand double act because I think it helped to showcase them both but I would describe it as an easy friendship rather than a mutual attraction.
Or just make Sulu gay. I mean, really. At this point when you're finding reasons to make someone else gay who has shown relationships with the opposite gender, you're reaching farther than you need to reach. Just accept that Sulu is gay, and there's no need to find other unnecessary outs.
Although in fairness, the Spock / Uhura relationship was founded on equally flimsy evidence.
People are freaking out over Sulu —who barely had any indication of his sexuality before one way or the other— being gay, but you want infamous hetero horndog Captain Kirk to be bi instead? The internet would explode like an AI that Kirk had talked into short circuiting from a logic failure. You know what? That might make it worthwhile.
Not really. Most of Sulu/Rand's direction interaction comes when she brings him his lunch in Man Trap. And they just joke around a little.
Sulu is essentially a blank slate and oddly the only character that this can be said of. As our favorite Vulcan might say, a logical choice.
True. Not quite equal. Still flimsy!
This is what I'm thinking. I love George, and think he's often just the bees knees, but he has that petty side. We've seen it in the Shatner/Takei "feud" which is so one sided as to be laughable. It's clear that Bill doesn't give a shit, but George is still likely to bring it up in almost every interview he's done that's even tangentially related. He even brought it up in his bio "To Be Takei," which was a massive disappointment for me because I was enjoying the rest of his story. He can't let it go, though.
