An All Woman Crew???

Okay, so we have seen how an all male crew would go over. (I personally wouldn't watch. I need some eye-candy, sorry)...

But would an all female crew go over?

There is a fan producton, on this site, it is called Aurora. And I like it. I think the producer is really putting out good work, especially with the dialog between the female captain and her, I love this part, "vuclan crew"; one vulcan female. And I admit, there is a pseudo-sexual reason i watch. I keep wondering if they will ever 'get together', but its not the main reason I watch. BUT..its always there!!! I know they never will get together, and its cool, but, you know, its there...

An all woman crew, starfleet crew with a few sexy aliens, would, I think, go over big!! Would it attract everyone on this site? No.. (for the same reason My-ex Supergirl friend didn't). But it would attract a good portion of Trek fans, and more importantly, women. And if there is one thing TREKDOM needs is more female fans. It would go along way to helping the 'geek' tag that Trek suffers from. And, more importantly, it might make those conventions more enjoyable.

It would have to be done in a way that had some scifi, some action. But also the kinds of things women/girls would want to see. It could fail if they didn't find the right balance. But I think it would have a better chance to succeed in bringing in bigger numbers than just another Star Trek crew with a bunch of guys on the bridge...IMO.

Dude, we're already doing this topic. It's two threads below this one.
 
Well I might as well say something different about this...an all-female crew would just lead to moronic T&A writing which would be cancelled quite rapidly. The notion that "sex sells" is trite. Everyone has access to porno, so why bother with Star Trek: T&A?

Frankly I'd say an all-male crew had a far bigger chance of success. The guys would watch it for the kick-ass battles and the girls would watch it for the slash (assuming the casting were done correctly).

But it would attract a good portion of Trek fans, and more importantly, women.
Let's be honest, most women would look at an all-female cast and wonder "why bother"? :lol:
And if there is one thing TREKDOM needs is more female fans.

Throw Kirk and Spock (the new young hot ones) into the decon chamber together more often. See? That wasn't difficult.
 
As a gay man, if an all-male crew isn't going to hold my attention, you can imagine how I feel abo....zzzzzzzz.....
