"Hi, Fred, I'm just here to bust a cap in your ass for snitching on King Friday for the Neighborhood Trolley incident. Snitches get stitches, yo. YOU BETTA RECOGNIZE, SWEATER BOY!!!"

Wesley Crusher IS Captain Kirk? This show just got interesting!
Idk, I work in a corporate office and the amount of sarcasm and f bombs that get thrown around no matter the paygrade doesn't feel like how the office would've operated back in the 60s. Job still gets done.
Also could just be the current team, and you can extrapolate that Pike's crew were more lax vs Kirk who preferred a sense of formality (hinted at with his conversation with Una about how to approach being an XO).

Well, it IS a smoking gun of sexism. Just not in the way the original poster intended
Oh, by all means, give me your interpretation of that scene.
You don't actually watch the show, do you?
That whooshing sound. Guess what it is?
The airlock doors hissing shut after expelling this whole argument into the void where it belongs?
You tagging into this conversation and then not offering anything? (I never knew that "whoosh" was the sound that that move made!)
I sure would if Wil Wheaton did a take on William Shatner!You don't actually watch the show, do you?
Perception colors experience.You don't actually watch the show, do you?
Nope. Look up.
When William Shatner becomes a character on the show I'm sure Wil can audition.
Oh, hold on… What you meant was “The Silent Bob-looking nerd just doing his job was mansplaining to the woman”, right?
Yeah, I got THAT. That’s why the scene sucked. I know that Star Trek is now in the hands of people who have to consult Memory Alpha periodically to find out who the Emperor of the Federation is, but that doesn’t mean that WE have to ignore what has come before. And in the canon of Star Trek, the implied sexism of that scene is very out of place.
Which circles back to why I think this scene represents SNW’s anti-male sexism. It is just a naked “the penis is evil” scene. Three women rolling their eyes at men who dared intrude in their fertility circle or whatever. In the writers’ minds It’s not enough that this future military organization has women at every station… that does not empower women enough for the knucklehead viewers.The audience can’t “feel” their power unless they are also telling men to piss off.
Excuse me for preferring the era of Trek where women really WERE equals, as opposed to #MessageTrek.
Yeah, no.
How about you throw in your two bits for this conversation instead of just smiling smugly while sipping your kombucha?
Death Ray is on Self-Destruct.
Agreed.
These one-word opinions being spit back and forth is making me understand the nature of the divide between people who grew up on the previous generations of Trek and the people who think that this third-generation stuff is where it's at. They don't actually expect anything from the show-- they are just glad that it exists.
