Captain Pike's weird comment about "women on the bridge"

[jaime]

I don't miss the old day's, especially the 70's - the seven year old me standing at a bus stop being racially abused by adults out with their kids. In my part of London the NF London head quarters was two mnutes walk away. The Real McCoy was hilarious, it needs repeating on T.V like Desmonds and Fresh Prince.
We need Trek and Spitting image back on tv, someone needs to tak the piss outta the extreme politics we are heading to and show us that humans don't have to be assholes in the future.

My old days were the nineties where we thought we saw the back of your old days. Now we are going back there with the added joy of postcode gangs and stuff.The NF of your day was reduced to just a few scumbags...was it White Cross area?

Newzoids is so much like spitting image I think they recycled old scripts for Theresa May.

And we are getting new Trek. Maybe we can turn a corner.

Edit : just to clarify...by the nineties, the NF of your day was reduced to what was left in mine. Younger brothers of the kids from the bus stop and their parents most likely. They still had penchant for public transport mind you.

The NF got middleclass and became UKIP voters. I have not seen Newszoids, I will give it a go. No the Islington/Hackney area was their base then they moved to Bexley.

I still think that Captain pikes weird comment about women was kinda weird.

Ah gotcha. Exactly where I grew up then. The sad thing is, all the UKIP voters I know were diametrically opposed to the NF in the seventies and eighties. Somewhere along the line something went wrong. I'll shut up now, slightly off topic and depressing. Though also somewhat cheery finding someone with similar experiences to chat to on here, as I often think about this in relation to Star Trek...usually when discussing representation in old Trek, and now how it should be handled in the new.
I think mickey smith (Noel Clarke) was wasted in Into Darkness, though did a lot in his short scene...he should have been Doctor MBenga, but they probably had enough main characters by that point.
There's a discussion going on about who people think should play the lead in Discovery ATM, and I actually can't think of any TV actors. Have a feeling we will get something of an unknown, and then we will see how far things have come since The Cage was made.

Yes he did, unknowns tend to be the custom on Star Trek and it works

I'm actually kind of liking the idea of Nathan Fillion as the captain (although you know Browncoats sure as hell won't approve) - but ONLY IF it's Garth of Izar.

Everybody is unknown until they are known.

And vice versa.

Now I know how Nomad felt when Kirk was talking it to death.

Spot vs Isis (the TOS cat)

Looks like the cat's out of the bag.

Seems like a good payback for the end of Generations ("Never mind about Kirk being dead, everyone -- DATA'S FOUND HIS CAT!!!").

I want to see the episode where Kirk kisses Data and makes smoke come out of his ears.

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if such an episode already existed in fan fiction.
