News Discovery isn't on TV because no-one would watch it

Thankfully blatant sexism is not part of new Trek TV like Enterprise and new Trek movies like Into Darkness.

I didn't say, that there isn't a problem at all anymore with sexism in series nowadays. I even specifically wrote, that I hope the situation improves further, implying, that the current situation is not yet perfect. It is still a fact though, that on average it is better now than decades ago.

I didn't mention movies, but big blockbuster movies are definitely on average worst in regards to sexism than TV series. So there is even a bigger way to go.

Why is the statement such a surprise?? Streaming is the future, it allows for niche shows to exist for fan's entertainment. Star Trek probably wouldn't last long on regular TV but of course we also know regular TV is dying as well. I've been arguing CBS made the right decision for a year now. We'll wait for some of you to catch up.

I always suspected you were from the future.

And when I call the tech support, the nice people on the other end of the line are often speaking in tongues:
"Oh, you just have to re-fragmentize the central directory and download an updated app extension via the wireless infranet link . . ?"

All Voyager fans--clearly.

The WB and UPN merged.
