Sister Benny?

[Guy Gardener]

Benny's black pride back when black pride was just about illegal became rampantly manifest when he wrote the stories of Captain Sisko aboard the federation Space Station Deep Space Nine... What aspect of his personality then being stomped on but yearning to be free wanted him to experience the fantasy of being a girl space Captain in his sequel to Deep Space Nine?

Gay? Transvetite? Pretransexual Operatee?

Homosexuality used to be a diagnosed mental illness in the 60s.

The dingbat catcher was going to get him good.

Odd though then that as far as being true to himself went, it was more important to write about his adventures as a white woman rather than as a black woman?

What the freakin' heck are you talking about? Some weird slash fanfic?

 

[Guy Gardener]

It's called logic.

Ben writes his demons.

Ben wrote all star trek.

Ben wrote his demons out with Voyager after/during/concurrently while he was writing his demons out with Deep Space Nine.

These are not the same demons.

Woman gender demons vs crackers holding him down demons.

Deep down Benny Rustle wanted to be a woman.

Or just dress like a woman.

Or just be treated like a woman.

And Voyager is how he told the world these needs he had inside him.

Completely logical.

Of course then you move onto Enterprise.

Ben Rustle liked getting his ass kicked.

I think you've followed your logical digression a little too far down a dark and strange path.

The Hershy's highway?

That's a bit on the nose.

I did note that when ever Rustle got close to his girl played by the glorious Penny Johnson, that timespace would shift around him, to distract the poor bastard from doing anything too intimate, as if the author of Far beyond the Star's timespace had no effectuation for heterosexual affection.

We don't know that he did write Voyager, we know he "wrote" DS9. Maybe at some point he was released from the institution he was in and published his work and then sold/leased the rights to others who then expanded on his "universe".

 

[Guy Gardener]

I did see that as a possibility, however I also thought it more possible that if someone was going to carry on his work it would be another nutter from the same bedlam who appropriated his psychosis.

Benny wrote all Star Trek. One day he he had a meeting with this producer, this Roddenberry guy, about a possiblity of making a TV series of it. That day, Benny didn't return home. Shortly after, Roddenberry announced his new TV series...

Now that would be a cool episode of Cold Squad, eh?

 

[Guy Gardener]

Considering that's how Berman almost stole Babylon 5 from JMS, that all sounds like par for the course.

Guy's own gay wish fulfillment is on full display. Wave that rainbow flag, sister, and sing, "I am what I am!" -- RR

That would explain Voyager after all.

At any rate, if Benny Russell--for the sake of argument--was using Janeway to express a sexual orientation, he might not have written a character that was even more sexless than the at least fully-functional android from his previous, acceptable work, featuring Captain Whitey.

You might recall that near the end of DS9: Shadows and Symbols the Prophet that had occupied Sarah Sisko told the Emissary that his vision of Benny Russell in an isolation ward writing on the walls was a false vision created by the Pah-wraiths.

You might recall that near the end of DS9: Shadows and Symbols the Prophet that had occupied Sarah Sisko told the Emissary that his vision of Benny Russell in an isolation ward writing on the walls was a false vision created by the Pah-wraiths.

Originally, though, the producers did in fact toy with the idea that DS9 wasn't real, that it was all in the mind of a writer named Benny Russell. When the obvious was pointed out, that all of Star Trek then must be Russell's creation, they decided they couldn't do it.

 

[Guy Gardener]

and are you a frog dreaming he is a man, or a man dreaming he is a frog dreaming he is a man?

Delusions try to be rational when they're threatened.

 

[Quest_techie]

I am profoundly disturbed that someone with a GL name would make a thread with this strange strange thought pattern.

 

[KimMH]

. . . strange but excessively diverting! Mr Gardner's posts are always interesting . . .

 

[MikeS]

...Fascinating.

Wonder what was going through Benny's head when he did this new "reboot", or perhaps it's all part of the therapy.

The word flapper was probably still in some use, and that's exactly what the next shows ship's nacels did to get from point A to B.

But then a flapper is not exactly a slapper.

Hey, in my defence, he was the Worst Green Lantern Ever (Yes, worse than G'Nort and Sinestro.) for quite some time till Geoff Johns polished everything till he was Stirling, not that his redemptioning into the completely bland didn't start well before that.
