Spock

[Warp Core Breach]

Wait until they eventually reboot Star Trek entirely and make Spock a woman. Oh, the humanity! I remember when the old BSG fans hated when Starbuck became a woman, even though I'm pretty sure Katee Sackhoff could knock Dirk Benedict's dick in the dirt any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

It doesn't make sense to me that they choose to reboot characters as someone different, rather than just introducing a new character.

That's fair enough and I get it. It probably wouldn't work with Star Trek at all given its history, but BSG was kind of a dead end project and I didn't mind the reboot of that entire show at all. I have nostalgia for the original, but the remake was superior in pretty much every possible way.

Wait, are you seriously advocating for ratings being the measure of the highest maturity, philosophy, themes, and writing for a television show?

finally a salient argument for bringing back Jackass.

Bantam Books did it twice with ''The Procrustean Petard'' and Alan Dean Foster's expanded ''Slaver Weapon'' adaptation. ''Petard'' at any rate was a fanzine reprint, and Foster's switcheroo of Spock and Uhura may have been Ballantine rather than Bantam. (STAR TREK LOG 10).

I remember Petard when I was gifted with a late '70s Trek short story anthology 'The New Voyages' by Marshak & Culbreath, two fanzine publishers who wrote a few early Trek novelizations and at least one other anthology. I raised my eyebrow at the sudden and new introduction of k/S into my Trek Canon. I didn't know what that stuff was, but soon the next mention of it was in the TMP novelization by The Great Bird Himself, so sumpin' wuz happenin' out there, my young teenage mind reasoned.

I was about 12 or 13 then but uncharacteristically and wisely, again uncharacteristically, decided that discretion was the better part of valor and blabbed no mention of the story to the parents for fear of yet another visit to the confessional, upteen rosaries, Hail Marys and Hey, why not toss in a few Our Fathers for spiritual leavening, and (the worse fate of all from my POV, even worse than Hades) my Trek collection destroyed. So I kept my mouth shut. Never forgot the story.

Just remembered Spock also went female on an episode of Carol Burnett (who played a feminized Kirk). Spock was probably played by Vicki Lawrence. I do remember this Spock was suitably over-emotional. This was probably POST-''Petard'', though in both depictions we also had male Uhuras.
